Carer reflections: Wyndham Wellbeing Group
The Brotherhood of St. Laurence (BSL) Disability Services Community Capacity Building team have partnered with community organisations to co-facilitate regular peer support groups for unpaid carers across Brimbank, Wyndham and Hume.
We spoke with a carer who attends our Wyndham Wellbeing Group and shares their experiences with us.
Joe Pascoe’s career as a poet all started when he was faced with a dilemma. In need of a wedding anniversary gift for his wife, and with no ideas coming to mind, he wrote a poem instead.
He has since released two poetry books through Melbourne-based independent publisher, Readings Sideway Press. His latest book, Frangipani, is a series of poems exploring nature, childhood, work and magic.
We chat with Steven Koutsodontis, author and Intake Officer at BSL Disability Services about his journey with MS and the inspiration behind his self-published book, A Conversation About Multiple Sclerosis with My Family.
