Today is RUOK Day, a national day of action for mental health encouraging us to Ask R U OK for any day of the year, because a conversation can change a life 💛 We enjoyed these delicious cookies from genU’s Seasons Cafe and had a look at how we can ask somebody how they’re doing.

⭐️SCHEDULING ASSISTANT POSITION⭐️
We’re on the lookout for a part-time scheduling assistant with strong communication skills, the ability to work in a fast-paced team environment and experience with rostering.
We have been hard at work over the last year with the amazing team at Ambulance Victoria, helping prepare a Neuroinclusive Toolkit!
Calling an ambulance is a stressful experience and Autistic people and their supporters can face additional barriers. We spoke to many people in our community who told us about the unpredictability, the sensory overload, and the difficulties in communicating pain, and how they contributed to their stress and anxiety levels.
It’s great to see inclusion in practice.
Thanks to Ambulance Victoria for partnering with us!
We have some exciting things coming up this Term and we wanted to do a quick update!
This week was the first week of our Fishing Friends and it was an absolute blast! They rugged up and headed to Barwon Heads and began learning the process of catching a fish including regulations and rules around fishing. There are still some spots available if you want to join our crew on Mondays 🎣
We are also excited to announce that we have launched our Art Therapy by Lucy Program! For more information, have a look at our previous post about art therapy or contact us via the details below! 🎨
Term 3 programs have been sent out!!! We have seven after school programs (including a brand new Fishing Friends program), two adult day programs and a weekend program!
From craft classes, old Geelong Gaol tours and Sorrento day trips to Inflatable World and Lego StarWars Exhibitions, we’re certain there’s something for everybody!
Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information, we’d love to have you!
