Yes it's 330am.. but this stuff is so important 🤷🏼‍♀️

"It takes a village to raise a child". I agree! ❤️
As youth workers, we use our therapy dog and stay relevant to the issues young people face right now; most importantly for us, we use a non-clinical approach!

👉🏼We must be realistic about the time we have to positively influence our children and teenagers. A parent's/guardian's influence plays a vital role in shaping their child's life, making early intervention essential. 👇🏼

Inspector Daniel Jamison and I had huge plans for a brand new Police in Schools program, and we personally discussed this with Channel 9 news reporter Laura Turner. Then COVID hit! 😭 Inspector Daniel Jamison and I continued with our online resource and referral service to support people in the community during lockdowns. We ran a group of stakeholders to work together for the people - it was amazing.

We decided, why not help the broader community if it's all set up online. There were other articles I know about, but I didn't know about this one. I had no idea that Federal Member for McEwen, Rob Mitchell, took this to the media - local media - but how wonderful it is to feel appreciated by the community and to work closely with Victoria Police, especially Inspector Daniel and Senior Sergeant Joe Vari.

Additionally, therapy dog Carter has been part of the Hope Tour, schools program, where they toured high schools both interstate and soon overseas. Our therapy dog attended one occasion, dressed in his uniform too (see cover photo), alongside Chris Sebastian. The most amazing part is that the community was raising money on their own after I was relocated for a few weeks, but I was grateful to be able to return to my school in Mernda, thanks to their incredible support.
