What’s involved with being a visitor to an older person? ACVVS participants visit an older person once a fortnight and choose what they would like to do together. Sometimes people like to: - Enjoy a chat and cup of tea - Take a walk together - Work on a hobby together or - Watch a movie. Friendship and companionship have a positive impact on mental health and emotional wellbeing, and help to increase connectedness to local communities. Be part of the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS), a FREE Government-funded service for older people. Make an impact in your local community. Become a volunteer today. Visit https://lnkd.in/gGWuUqQb for more information or call 1800 366 877. #volunteeringqueensland #volunteerfootprints #acvvs #agedcarevolunteering #agedcarevolunteer #volunteeringagedcare #footprintscommunity #footprints #BetterTogether

Leaving care is a challenging transition, but local authorities often fall short in providing the necessary support for young adults. Many young people face homelessness, unemployment, and mental health issues because the systems in place are inadequate. We need comprehensive reform to ensure they have a safe, secure, and supportive start to their new lives. It's time to hold local authorities accountable and demand better support structures. #YouthSupport #CareLeavers #SystemFailure #HomelessYouth #Unemployment #MentalHealthSupport #ChildWelfare #PolicyChange #SocialJustice #YouthEmpowerment #SupportStructures #LifeAfterCare #Accountability #PublicPolicy #SocialServices #YouthAdvocacy #CareSystemReform #TransitionalSupport #YouthWellbeing #SecureFutures #CommunitySupport #CareLeaversRights #EqualOpportunities #SafeStart #YouthDevelopment #AdvocacyForChange #GovernmentResponsibility #YoungLivesMatter #SocialChange #EndYouthHomelessness #SupportOurYouth

This Carers Rights Day (21 November) we are highlighting the support available for unpaid carers of people who use our services. We are developing the EPUT Carer Network, which is open to anyone who is, or has previously been, a carer for someone who has used our services. We are also recruiting Family and Carer Ambassadors to work in all our mental health inpatient wards to provide practical and emotional support for patients’ families. It follows the success of Family Ambassadors who currently support the families of young patients receiving inpatient care from our child and adolescent mental health services. We also have a number of support networks for family and carers for people who receive care from specific services. Read more: https://ow.ly/7cbQ50UbzZ9

There are six domains for reintegration which are critical in the progression from reunification/placement to the end goal of reintegration. They include health and development which is basically the child's physical health and cognitive changes Also include psychosocial wellbeing and community belonging. This is the social-emotional wellbeing of a child and the care giver as well as their inclusion and support from the community. Care giver and child relationship.This domain checks on quality time spent between the care giver and the child, fostering connection and having clear communication line. The care giver has a responsibility of providing a nurturing environment for the child. Each family is unique and their needs,wants, strength and threat differ. All the multidisciplinary parties come together to ensure the child is reintegration into a family/community and they are connected to the right support system post case closure. #carereforms #forthebestinterestofthechild
