Studying support

Hi @outlander

Great idea for a studying space. There are definitely a lot of members who study.

I'm actually doing an art therapy diploma at the moment. I have no tips but would love to hear what others have to offer.

❤️

Yes @outlander

Art helped me so much over the years with mental health too. Your diploma sounds really interesting too. I remember doing some units on community studies when I was at uni and it's very involved. Super interesting though.

i already work in the industry the last couple of years @hanami so its been interesting to elarn more. gets really tough though esp with the time management side of things or the way TAFE words their assignments. somethings are totally irrelevant!

but when im finished i hope to be able to do some more peer support work for those with a disability. im looking to specalise abit more but im not sure on the area yet maybe something like support co-ordination or counselling for those with a disability

I used to do support co-ordination @outlander and really liked it. The business was fairly new though and didn't pay me on time and had a few other issues so I left. But the job itself I liked. Loved meeting new people in the community.

Hello @outlander and @hanami its Lost Angel ,Have also been studying this year although the last online class was last week The trainer is giving me this week to upload any unfinished assesments that need to be finalised before getting an acknowlrdgement of the studies ,just would like to give a summary of what it was like start to finish, To begin with I was determined,motivated and excited to attempt to gain a certificate III in Buisiness Administration ,but as time went on I was more and more disorganised with tasks ect and especially homework ,there where some unexpexted things that happend also including an imediate family memebr having a medical emergency of Anaphyliaxis and being Diagnosed with an Anaphilaxis Allegy ,Also a few bouts of depression, lack of motivation and stress, I basically said to trainer last week that Ive accepted that I wont be getting the complete certificate, dont get me wrong I have tried so hard at times but sometimes try as you might its hard isnt it

@outlander Yep I get that - there are pros and cons of different workplaces for where you are in your own life.

I think I would like to have my own business, but not 100 per cent sure. It would be nice but my husband has his own business and always tried to talk me out of it when I mention it! He hates the never ending admin stuff. So we will see how I go!

It's a shame @LostAngel but like you said, you tried your best but life got in the way and other things became more important. Can you come back to it later if you want?
