EBL Carer Advisory Group
The COVID-19 is in the forefront of
most conversations and media
at the moment and South Australians
should be very proud of themselves
and their leaders for the good
position we are in at the moment.
I hope you have coped with the
restrictions asked of us. I have taken
the isolation to catch up on a lot of
things in the home that have been
put aside for when I had more time.
No excuses anymore and I am proud
to say I have achieved a lot and now
enjoying the easing of restrictions.
The closing down of the learning
and lifestyles programs and limiting
of respite services during this time
can be difficult for our children to
understand and deal with. They like
routine and sometimes if this is not
occurring it can lead to anxiety.
Thankfully these services have slowly
been returning and I hope they will
settle into their routines again. While
this may be the case for some there
could be other programs that may
not return or will not offer the same
that you had before the COVID-19
outbreak. I would hope you have
been receiving communications from
other services in the same way that
EBLDS has been doing with their
clients. I would like to suggest that
if you have not had the contact you
were expecting then you may need
to look elsewhere. If you are a valued
client they need to make that evident
to you. Under NDIS we are able to
choose our providers and if you need
to make a change your Support Coordinater
can help you with this.
Unfortunately, the last Carers
morning tea had to be cancelled due
to the COVID-19 outbreak. We hope
to be able to invite you to another
morning tea in July and an invitation
will be sent to you when a date is
settled. Please remember the Carers
Advisory Group are here for you if
you have a concern you would like
to discuss and you do not need to
wait for a morning tea. My contact
number is 041148396 if you would
like to contact me.
