EPISODEIn this episode, we have Brendon, our resident staff member and budding superstar podcaster, doing a 'one on one' podcast interview with another HPS Participant from the Gold Coast, named Pam.Pam reached out to Brendon via her Support Coordinator, after Brendon called out to "anyone" with a NDIS journey in SDA, and he wanted to hear all stories, both good or bad. Thus we now have an episode with 2 HPS Participants chatting about SDA within the NDIS scheme.While it is rare to hear firsthand about Participants' stories, this is one of those special moments where we as listeners will appreciate Pam's personal journey. Thank you Pam, for sharing your story, and thank you Brendon for making this podcast interview happen. We are truly thankful from both of you, and we hope that both your stories inspire others to step up and share the struggles that they have gone through, so that our audience  better understands how hard it is to qualify for SDA as an NDIS Participant.#thankyou #pam --FOLLOW US ON:LinkedIn InstagramFacebookTwitterGOALS:It is our goal to see Participants with high-needs disabilities being appropriately housed in accommodation that is right for them.

Ever wondered what a Support Coordinator is? What's their role, and why are they so important? In this episode, we sit down with Michelle, an NDIS Support Coordinator, to hear all about the part she plays in disability support.  Michelle has always had an affinity for helping people meet their needs. When her son, Tom, was born with multiple disabilities, she realised how overwhelming the  world of disability support can be. Sometimes it's a complex and time-consuming procedure just to access the NDIS in the first place! After facing several obstacles – including a misdiagnosis which forced them to restart the entire process – Michelle decided to help other people navigate this journey. Michelle explains how a Support Coordinator links people with services and fills gaps in their knowledge of the NDIS.  She is “the other woman” (Michelle said it, not us!) which eases the pressure off families and carers. Listen in to hear the perks and pitfalls of the NDIS and learn how to gain access to the support scheme. Find out how Michelle ended up screaming  ‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie' in her wedding dress (spoiler: it was that one time Australia won the Bledisloe Cup). We loved hearing Michelle's stories, and we know that you  will too!   Be Stories By Be Physiology | Season 2 of UNAWARE Tune in to hear our amazing guests talk about their experiences of disability.

For this special series, Voices Lifting the Community, HIROC is partnering with the Alliance for Healthier Communities to highlight the work of several of the presenters at their online primary healthcare conference in June. Today we're talking with Celeste Turner, the LGBTQ2+ Support Coordinator at the Niagara Falls Community Health Centre and a member of the Alliance's Rainbow Communities Advisory Group. Celeste uses the ‘they/them' pronouns. At the Alliance Conference, they will be presenting the session, “Making the Invisible visible: How can we get support if no one thinks we are there.” Celeste's early dreams were to work with animals but they found their calling in the field of fitness and health promotion. They remember feeling lost for so many years as a young person and feel privileged to now be in a position of advocating for others in the LGBTQ2+ community. When it comes to giving trans folks access, inclusion and visibility, Celeste says the building is on fire. Their personal mission is to get their voices at the table and make sure their stories are told.   Quotables “The building is on fire and I'm putting out fires on the ground, dealing with the smaller, more local things but this is a huge systemic issue that we need to come together on.” - CT “If we want to look at who makes the decisions about trans healthcare from a very high up level, it's probably not trans folks. We need to get those voices at the table.” - CT “If I do my job right, no one will replace me when I retire.” - CT “Understanding that it's absolutely not a choice. Someone's gender identity is a strong internal sense of being, sense of knowing and sense of self.” - CT “It all could be boiled down to education.” – CT “We make today Day One and start that journey of learning.” – PDS “I don't think virtual groups, services, having that virtual option, I don't think it will ever go away because it's proven to be very beneficial.” – CT   Mentioned in this Episode: Alliance for Healthier Communities Alliance for Healthier Communities Conference 2021   Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on Twitter, and listen on iTunes.

The key to success in our new COVID and post-COVID new landscape is knowing how to connect-to and relate-to all our campus stakeholders. Andy Vogel, Classroom Support Coordinator at The Ohio State University, joins the show to discuss how his journey helped position him well in his newest roll. Also, we discuss how a student-led initiative helped ease the concerns over supporting across multiple campus departments by incorporating Microsoft Teams bots into the communication process. Oh, and of course we talk about the great local Columbus, Ohio, foods.

Have you ever felt like you've lost your confidence or you don't have a sense of purpose in life? Feel like you're a burden and don't fit in? Have you wanted to hide yourself away because you can't easily do the things that you think you should be able to do? Claire Whitehouse felt this way when she had a Stroke and was told she wouldn't walk again at the age of 19. Once an active perfectionist, she began to experience social anxiety and isolation and struggled with her thoughts and emotions. But Claire tells us that her disability has opened her eyes to her true abilities.Here she shares her story with us and explores some of the tools and thoughts that helped her to maintain a 'have a go' mindset that allowed her to embrace imperfection and failure and shift her perspective to what's important in life; which eventually led Claire to defy the neurologists' predications and get back to running, and also discover a sense of purpose and greater confidence and connection in life. Claire is talking primarily about her experience of stroke here, but as you know, many of the emotions and difficulties that Claire faced are similar for any of us who are going through an experience that makes us feel inadequate and different to others. So join us on Claire's inspiring journey and consider what you can take away from her experience that can helpfully shift your thinking too. ABOUT OUR GUESTClaire Whitehouse is a Stroke Survivor and also a Support Coordinator for Dorset Stroke Association where she facilitates peer support groups and provides individual support for other stroke survivors and their carers. In 2010, 19-year-old Claire had two disabling strokes that transformed her life. She felt isolated by her wheelchair and existence. She became socially anxious, and lost her sense of worth and self-confidence. But, five years on, Claire became properly informed about the way that her mind was working and how this was impacting her mental health. She no longer felt it was her fault, but a case of self-management and understanding.With acceptance, Claire recreated herself through mindfulness, meditation, music, animal therapy, healthy living, and nature. Claire says “my disability showed me my true abilities” as she readapted and tried new hobbies like Stand-Up Paddle boarding. Each leap, mistake and failure reframed as lessons to build on her learning, confidence and wisdom.Now life is full of purpose while working for Stroke Association as a Dorset Coordinator supporting others in a similar place. Claire is proud of the person she has became. She tells us that, there may be stumbling blocks on the road but with determination, encouragement, and self-belief, we can find a way through them. Claire no longer allows her disability to define her, because only you can define yourself. Claire also shares her story and inspirations through her ‘Hope for Stroke’ pages on Facebook and Instagram to help others who need reassurance and encouragement.

Jacqueline is the Butte Outreach & Support Coordinator for Child Bridge, and together they share a powerful story of how God put the need for involvement in foster care and adoption on their hearts and lead them and their family to a journey that has both had its struggles and its joys. Titus and Jacqueline are the real deal. They love Jesus, and they love what Scripture has to say about what love really looks like lived out on the earth. They share important information on how to trust God with your heart as you journey this road one step at a time, and talk about how it's changed their family as their entire family is in agreement about how they can help children in need together.
