25.01.2022 MY TEAM I am only as good as those that support me and without my CASTLE TEAM that I call family @cj_castle_cs would not be as successful as it is. Success for me goes far beyond any monetary reward, success for me and CJ Castle is that in the smiles we see every day on our clients faces, it is the positive feed and gratitude we receive from the families we support. It is the laughs and the giggles not just from clients but my staff as well.... I told my mum & dad once that I had a dream... A dream to connect with people in need and not only be able to care for them but allow them to live the life that we all deserve. Little did I know that CJ Castle would be that dream and my team become my family and that family extend out to our clients and their families. Building this Castle has had it fare share of ups and downs already in its short life, BUT with this team I have now behind me, their commitment and that commitment and support from the families that we provide our services too the world is the Castle's oyster as this world as it is the oyster to those that we support. #cjcastlesupport #cjcastlecare #gratitude #thankful #humble #support #inclusion #disabilitysupport #mornington #peninsula #somerville #melbourne #frankstoncity #team #family #cjcastle #care

23.01.2022 Please Help! I found this picture outside of Costco. On the back it reads, Mom and Dad, 1955. I would love to return it to its owner. It looks like an old and precious photo. Maybe if we all share it, we can find the owner. (#funfriday)

Hold on to faith, hold on to love, Hold on to who you are. You’re not alone, don’t lose sight, We will rise above. We are the breath of life, Our hope remains.

16.01.2022 There’s no right or wrong way to go about checking in with someone who’s having a hard time with their mental health and wellbeing but it’s important that you choose a way that feels comfortable. Here are three easy steps: Ask if they want to talk about things with you first. It might be that they don’t want to and that’s OK too. Maybe you’re not the right person for them to talk to, but you can make some suggestions. Listen silence may seem awkward at first but think of it a...s a chance for both of you to gather your thoughts. If you’re finding it difficult to understand what they’re talking about, it’s okay to ask them to explain further. Support is the most important thing you can offer and if they refuse, help them explore their options for how they could begin to feel better. https://coronavirus.beyondblue.org.au//how-to-check-in-wit #cjcastlesupport #cjcastlecare #beyondblue #friend #checkin #support #inclusion #support #disabilitysupport #mornington #peninsula #somerville #melbourne #frankstoncity #counselling #kindness #giving #family #friends

12.01.2022 With warmer weather we find ourselves enjoying our beautiful coastline and outdoors more, and we've earned it Keep in mind a few tips to keep yourself and the... community safe as we #StayOpenStaySafe Stay a towel’s length apart at the beach. You must wear a fitted face mask while setting up at the beach, after being in the water have your mask ready to put on when you get back to your towel. Swim at a beach patrolled by lifesavers and between the red and yellow flags. Visit www.lsv.com.au/Summersafety or use the Beachsafe app to check for locations patrolled by lifesavers and also find an alternative patrolled beach if your first choice is too busy. Check the VicEmergency app for beach closures. When you arrive at the beach, read safety signs and notices about local hazards, take time to observe conditions before entering the water. Ask lifesavers for advice if unsure. Supervise children closely around water and always swim with friend. Photo credit: Steve Brown #FrankstonCity #Safety #COVID19

12.01.2022 I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.- Oprah Winfrey #cjcastlesupport #cjcastlecare #bedifferent #care #support #disabilitysupport #access #ndis #equalopportunity #disability #valid #friendship #inclusion #integrity #mornington #peninsula #melbourne #frankstoncity #somerville

07.01.2022 "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them." ... On 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. With their armies retreating and close to collapse, German leaders signed an Armistice, bringing to an end the First World War. From the summer of 1918, the five divisions of the Australian Corps had been at the forefront of the allied advance to victory. Beginning with their stunning success at the battle of Hamel in July, they helped to turn the tide of the war at Amiens in August, followed by the capture of Mont St Quentin and Pèronne, and the breaching of German defences at the Hindenburg Line in September. By early October the exhausted Australians were withdrawn from battle. They had achieved a fighting reputation out of proportion to their numbers, but victory had come at a heavy cost. They suffered almost 48,000 casualties during 1918, including more than 12,000 dead. In the four years of the war more than 330,000 Australians had served overseas, and more than 60,000 of them had died. The social effects of these losses cast a long shadow over the postwar decades. https://www.awm.gov.au/commemoration/remembrance-day

05.01.2022 Victorian workers permit will need to be reissued over the next few weeks as the dates on the initial batch all run out. The permits were issued before the Stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne were extended. We have tried to reduce the administrative burden as much as possible but if those permits are going to be accurate and effective, particularly for the purposes of curfew, they do need to be reissued, Premier Daniel Andrews said on Wednesday.... If we could find a way where employers didn’t need to reissue permits, and still have them valid and a degree of formality with them, we would. They need to be contemporary and represent who is working and the circumstances under which they are working so police have the clearest and easiest sense of who should be out and about, who can be out and about, after curfew. Employers will be able to use their existing templates to update the permits. They can simply amend the dates on it and reissue based on those steps,’’ Andrews said. https://www.vic.gov.au/worker-permit-scheme

01.01.2022 Spend it wisely!

01.01.2022 Helping others is not only good for them and a good thing to do, it also makes us happier and healthier too. Giving also connects us to others, creating stronger communities and helping to build a happier society for everyone. And it's not all about money - we can also give our time, ideas and energy. So if you want to feel good, do good! Doing things for others - whether small, unplanned acts or regular volunteering - is a powerful way to boost our own happiness as well of ...those around us. The people we help may be strangers, family, friends, colleagues or neighbours. They can be old or young, nearby or far away. Giving isn't just about money, so you don't need to be rich. Giving to others can be as simple as a single kind word, smile or a thoughtful gesture. It can include giving time, care, skills, thought or attention. Sometimes these mean as much, if not more, than financial gifts. #cjcastlesupport #cjcastlecare #community #support #inclusion #disabilitysupport #mornington #peninsula #somerville #melbourne #frankstoncity #counselling #kindness #giving
