22.01.2022 Its a sunflower kind of week.....spreading some sunshine.........

22.01.2022 Warning! Transformational story ahead! I wanted to share with you all, why we do what we do, here at the Traralgon Neighbourhood Learning House. Our Transforming Women course started last week. One of our wonderful participants is challenged with agoraphobia and required a support worker to be able to attend the course. Unfortunately this week, her support worker was unwell and could not bring her to the course. Our student was on the phone and extremely upset, as even though... it had been so difficult for her to attend the first week due to her challenges, she was really eager to return this week as she had already felt the benefit and didnt want to miss the class. We were able to talk her through the process of catching a taxi to Moe train station to travel by train to Traralgon where I was going to pick her up and bring her to class. This wonderful lady never usually leaves her house and definitely never without a support worker with her. She agreed that she would give it a go and phoned to let us know she was on the train. When I picked her up from the station she was visibly anxious, but so happy that she had pushed through her fears and accomplished so much in being able to get to her class. Obviously the rest of the class greeted her with applause and positive reinforcement. She was able to participate in the day and we were absolutely blown away that she was able to smash through one of her goals so early on in this course. Our amazing facilitator, Aisha, and this course has already made such an impact on her life in such a short time and we know each week she will accomplish more and more. Then we received this message from her support organisation: I want to thank you and your team today for the most amazing work with our client!! You guys assisted her to smash goals today. I can express how wonderful this was today and to hear her so excited. This is a huge achievement and I thank you and your team for being a part of her life. We never know what the day will hold here and this was a fabulous outcome and a great moment for us all. We have a fabulous team, wonderful caring facilitators and courses that truly do transform lives. #transformingwomen #transforminglives #smashinggoals #whywedowhatwedo #empowerment

12.01.2022 Meet Scott. At the age of 51 he decided he no longer wanted to be a marine mechanic, he wanted a change of career. But to what? All he knew was that he wanted to make a difference in peoples lives, to help in some way. He had the opportunity to enrol in our Introduction to Disability course and Tafe Gippslands Upskill in Disability. The rest, as they say, is history.......... A few months later he was enrolling in Tafes Cert IV in Disability and applying for work at the same time. Now he is half way through his course and working for a fabulous organisation in a career that he loves. "The Introduction to Disability course with TNLH was the catalyst to get me started on a fabulous new career. I received all the support I needed, met some great people and discovered my calling." Our new Introduction to Disability course is starting soon and its online so you can study for a great new career from anywhere. The Disability sector is growing exponentially with organisations continually looking for workers. Discover whether this is the career for you.

We miss you and hope to see you again soon :) https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/community-services-third #thirdsteprestrictions #wemissyou #IndoorExercise

She patiently changed the threads of colour and also learnt a new stitch called the 'V' stitch. It's great to see people learning new skills a...nd sharing their creativity around.
