Well - what a doozy of a week we whave all just had !
This post is a long one but needs to be done -

We are so grateful that thus far our clients and their families are all accounted for ! We are so heartbroken to see so many that are dear to us have lost all during this horrific natural disaster - and we are reaching our hands out to you all.
Although our office sustained some damage and our furniture didn't make it, we will be reopening the office on Monday and we will be doing our best to ensure that all supports are back to normal as of monday. Although scarce and not as pretty as it used to be , the office is functional.
We understand that several of our clients , families and friends have lost all amenities so we are offering for all of our clients and their families, to bring ingredients (or we can take you to get them) and come and cook some meals to take home .
If you're struggling with the cost of food please reach out and we will try and assist with referrals for appropriate support. We will also be happy to assist with applications for relief payments.

I would like to shout out to our Coodinator Amy and her wonderful family who were of amazing assistance while we were evacuating, moving computers , during the clean up process and even making sure we had full bellies ! Not Just staff, but clients were supported in this effort !
Paul and Marissa also played an integral part in the clean up and removal of debris to which we are so grateful as they were the only other staff able to get to casino -
Vanessa was incredible keeping in touch with clients even whilst she was really under the pump herself and tash and sharryn worked tirelessly to ensure clients in the lismore LGA were completely supported with all high needs supports without disruption.

I would like to thank Adam Limbers for helping us tirelessly amongst several dozens of other businesses with not just the clean up but ensuring all electrical needs were met and all safe to use again.
Thank you to Ben West , portia and all the kids from casino indoor sports stadium for also supporting every single business and household they could without rest - even our clients !

The local search and rescue who came and washed out our office this afternoon and also let Ollie sit on the truck were absolutely the most lovely bunch of guys and we are so grateful.

To say I am grateful for the amazing efforts our entire team has put in, Is a complete understatement.
To our entire team , clients , families , and amazing community members that have assisted us all during such a worrisome time, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart 🙌

This is a long post guys - but the hysterical laughing is worth the 5 minutes of your time !

I will start by saying that lockdown has been a huge challenge for our clients - I think more than last year because they all remembered how hard it was last year when their old service providers ceased alot of activity and only continued on with the most urgent self care supports.
The problem with that was , their mental health during an intensively distressing time is so much more vulnerable and in a world of change and unpredictability- the one thing our community needs is just one stable thing to rely on.
When we were hit with a sudden lockdown I ensured our staff all continued to maintain every single support session that is booked , regardless of whether the activity had to change.
We got creative in ways to support clients in increasing capacity and made sure we had more fun than ever ! Where clients usually spend time with supports in a group setting , we all took on extra shifts to support the clients with 1:1 to ensure their routine stayed as stable as possible and I am proud to say that this lockdown period , although challenging - has been so much smoother flowing than last year and the mental health of our clients has been no where near as heavily impacted.

Now - a little about these crazy videos from today !

Today was a theme picked by this amazing young woman -
"Mrs Doubtfire Monday ".
We practiced our baking skills and made 2 cakes (one for eating and one for face "smooshing")
We watched Mrs Doubtfire while getting up to do exercise in between in the form of copying Mrs doubtfire dancing while cleaning which helped to build on our motor skills while we had a good laugh-
I ensure that this amazing young woman practices her assertiveness when making all choices and in being confident enough to not just voice her choices, stick to her choices and not feel she has to just agree because she is too nice 🙃

She got to use her imagination , have some messy play and learn to be confident enough to let her hair down (or up !) And have some fun !

The confidence we are seeing come from this incredible woman is second to none and worlds ahead of the quiet spoken woman that once would just agree to anything that was suggested because she was so nice -
I am so proud of her !!

Learning shouldn't have to be boring and clinical ! Our clients are learning more and more every day through real life experiences and fun !
