Wow @Ilovepenguins ! Good on you. This is sooooo great to hear! Hearing about participants having a purpose and drive to do something they love to change the trajectory of how things were means so much to me.
Good on you for making it through to now! I recognise it may not always have been easy, but you're here @Ilovepenguins . I'm also so grateful that you've had @Bon_courage alongside you to support you all the way through this.
Peer work is an amazing experience. I have found that it gives me so much purpose in life and I feel refreshed when i support others.
Thank you for sharing your incredible experiences in the peer guide program. I'm hoping this program will expand so others can also take part.

Good morning @Shaz51 🌞
How lovely that you visited your mum, I'm sure that would have made her day ❤️ I loved when families came to visit when I worked in our local aged care, the residents were always so much happier after having visitors and for me, it was really nice getting to meet their families and learn more about the people I was cleaning for ❤️
@Blackbird11 what a beautiful orchid that is! Orchids are one of my favourite flowers 😊
