🎉 Christening our new training room!
 
Last week we hosted our first training session in the new Xanadu Group head office, bringing together support workers and allied health professionals for Positive Behaviour Support training tailored to a participant’s individual needs.
 
A big thank you to Beth from Ability Action Australia , Louise from Opel WA and Anna from Bloom Healthcare for sharing their expertise and helping create a collaborative learning experience.
 
When support teams learn together, everyone benefits, especially the participant at the centre of it all. 💙

A wonderful day connecting with the Geraldton community at the City of Greater Geraldton Disability Expo. 💜

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with Rahab and Aleta about disability supports, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), and Independent Living options.

We loved meeting so many people and sharing information about creating opportunities for greater independence, choice and connection.

"Are you ready to yarn with me?" - Don, Helping Solutions NDIS Coordinator

Celebrating 50 years of deadly!

Yesterday morning, our teams across Perth and WA, Melbourne and Cebu got together for a yarn to exchange cultural words and significant facts.

This year’s NAIDOC theme honours the generations who have continued to keep NAIDOC Week alive. This session was an amazing way to honour that work by taking initiative to learn about the country we live and work on, then teach one another.

Since we have a hugely diverse team, it was also opportunity to team build in a way that built genuine connection. Members of our teams shared facts and language from where they’re from (stemming as far as Geraldton and Karratha, Proserpine, the Blue Mountains, Vietnam, Pakistan, Kenya, and the Philippines!)

A few new words we learned included:

👋🏽 Kaya (Noongar for “Hello”)

👨🏾‍🍼 Yaboo (Gia for “Father”)

🏡 Baan (Thai for “house”)

🐍 Wagyl (Noongar for “Rainbow Serpent”)

🫶🏽 Mabuhay (Filipino for “To live”)

🌳 Kaarta Koomba (Noongar for “King’s Park”)

👋🏿 Yaama (Gamilaraay for “Hello”)

During the morning tea, we also spent time learning about the significance of Dreamtime stories and the different types of bush medicines. NAIDOC resources and maps were shared with the teams for further learning, and we all left a little more inspired to learn and share culture with one another. 🖤💛❤️

Thank you to everyone who attended and participated, we’re excited to continue learning and growing together!

Omair is taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout again this year to support Australians experiencing homelessness.

It’s one night outdoors for him, but for many, it’s something they face every day.

We’re aiming to raise $4,000 before 18 June, and every donation helps, no matter the size.
If you’re able to contribute, we’d really appreciate your support.

Thank you 💛

Our team had some BOLD ideas for our CEO Omair Chodhry … 

🪂 Skydiving
⁉️ Bungee jumping 
🧭 Road trip with no destination??

He’s agreed to 😴 sleeping (or not sleeping) outside for a night in the middle of June. An experience that is unfortunately more common than we realise in Australia.

This is one challenge that will make a difference.

to our last art workshop where we met Sarah! 🌸

Sarah is a boy mum of an 11-year-old who was looking for a fun, enjoyable and calming activity to do during the week when her husband is working FIFO and she has some much needed time to herself.

She found our community art workshop on Eventbrite and, given that she recently moved to Perth from Brisbane, was excited to try a new activity where she could meet new people.

Together, we made ombre flowers using nothing more than pipe cleaners and chalk (no glue!). Sarah commented on the nice atmosphere and calming music played in the session, and found this activity relaxing and enjoyable.

Are you looking for more mindful and creative activities like this for your week? If you're interested, please reach out and we will notify you of our upcoming dates. Email [email protected] or send us a message here.
