Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Well hello to anyone who's discovered this new thread .... and welcome!!!

For some time I've noticed things are a bit quiet on a Saturday, especially in the evening. So this will be a social gathering for all forumites and hopefully a place to relax and meet friends. It's also a place where you can talk about whatever's going on for you at the moment, safely, and find support.

If you want to bring something to eat or drink that would be welcome, whatever makes you happy.

Actually that may be a good place to start - jump in anywhere and let us know one thing that makes you happy - currently or over time.

Really looking forward to finding a posse to hang with on a Saturday.

L E T ' S P A R T Y !!!

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Hi all hope you enjoyed your day yesterday and have an even better one today.

@octavia re working in mental health - I am no expert on how to get into the workforce by any means. I've been on the DSP for 13 years! But I am experimenting to see whether working in the disability sector might work for me down the line. The way I'm doing it is peer support training days through the local disability alliance, which is for all disability types and run by all ppl with disabilities too. Being here as a guide has been a starting point for me too in a way.
There are pathways through courses at TAFE too. I may head for one of them in the future. Also at uni. As a person who receives support workers I know I'm looking for workers who have education as well as lived experience.

So that's my 2 bob's worth on the topic. You might want to start a thread about it as I'm sure there would be many others with ideas to contribute. Tagging @DesertRat here as I think you said you work in the MH disability sector. Hope I've got that right.
