Community Aged Services
Case Study

Community Advisory Service

Jennifer has children still living at home, a much loved husband diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and it seems nowhere to turn. After a visit by the Counselling and Advisory Services Coordinator she was able to arrange a social activity for her husband, time-out for herself through a respite program and individual counselling to assist her in building her resilience to manage her current situation. Jennifer continues to increase her skills and has recently joined a network of like minded Carers where she gains support, information and companionship. Jennifer knows her journey is hard but feels more confident with the assistance and knowledge she has gained through the Counselling, Information and Advisory Services.
