18.01.2022 FACE MASKS MADE AVAILABLE FOR VULNERABLE COMMUNITY MEMBERS United Way Glenelg has distributed 4,000 single-use face masks to local health services and not for profits in the Glenelg Shire. Masks have been made available free to vulnerable residents who are at the greatest risk of infection.... Portland District Health Nurse Unit Manager of Palliative Care JoAnna Spurge, who has taken delivery of 1,000 masks said they would be valuable, particularly for palliative care patients and District Nursing Service patients, their carers and families. "It is reassuring that our patients and their immediate caregivers are not compromising their protection and have the luxury of replacing their single-use facemasks regularly." Face masks are still mandated in Victoria and it is anticipated we will be wearing them through to at least the end of the year. If worn correctly and provided hands have been sanitised before placing on the face they can provide an additional barrier to lower the risk of transmission. United Way Glenelg Executive Officer Nicole Carr delivered the masks across the shire last week and they have been well-received. "While the shortage of facemasks has eased in Victoria they are still relatively expensive to buy. Access to free masks can ease the financial burden for vulnerable people." Masks have been made available to the following health services; Winda-Mara Dhauwurd Wurrung Elderly & Community Health Service Inc. Portland District Health Heywood Rural Health Dartmoor Bush Nursing Centre The Salvation Army Portland Casterton Memorial Hospital St. Vincent de Paul Casterton and Kyeema Support Services, Portland. Some single-use facemasks have also been made available for free to community members who may require them. They are available by contacting United Way Glenelg on 0410 513 305. This project is supported by the United Way Glenelg COVID-19 Impact Fund with masks provided by B-Colors and advice from Brewster Walsh and Associates Portland. #unitedway #unitedwayglenelg #facemasks

01.01.2022 Resilience is important for childrens mental health. It gives them the ability to bounce back when things go wrong. So much of the way in which children act is from what they see or know about how to behave. This #dollypartonimaginationlibrary book is a great way to start having conversations with how your little one feels or the way they play or interact with others.... Stanley Paste, struggles with feeling different. Along the way, Stanley starts to accept himself and for who he is. Look through the pictures. You might ask your little one What do you think might happen in this story? or How do you think he is feeling in this picture? These questions will start to build your little ones understanding of self-esteem and self-worth.
