Imagine providing a mental health service that actively battles stigma. Creating opportunities and empowering people to improve their own quality of life. Building counter-systems, and individual and structural responses with a longer view to change health care and social policy. If your values align with ours, in Eurobodalla NSW, you may be interested in!
We specialise in social prescribing, linking people with physical and mental health care needs to resources, with non-clinical sources of social support within their community. For us health is about quality of life, including creating opportunities to address any social determinants of health.
Your Approach
Your values and operating style:
You're an activist for kindness. You ensure your practice is firmly grounded in humanistic roots. You like people for who they are, and see people as people, noticing the commonality of human experience more than differences. You approach everyone and everything with integrity. You're creative and socially engaged, wanting to be out in the community, creating opportunities for people to support each other, changing the system by focusing on opportunities created by the fluidity and malleability of structures and systems, and using those to create a better tomorrow. You don't want to change or save people; you act with compassion, creating space for others to write their own journeys in their own way, supporting them to make their own choices and be accountable for those choices. You believe in people, seeing strength and capability in others. The only labels you're interested in are positive, not limiting. You navigate challenges with honesty, dignity and respect, speak softly, and change opinions by addressing the why, not just the what. You see barriers as challenges and constraints, using them to guide creativity while fostering chances for others to author their own stories, mentoring and connecting without needing to control the outcome. You value personal growth and resilience, and you actively author your life story. You're looking for an setting designed to offer those affordances.
Your Future
There's no case management here. Just working with people, creating opportunities. People manage their own destinies; we provide the chance to consider, reflect, identify options, and make meaningful choices. We believe in the transformative power of the people we work with, and that community, cooperation, engagement and consciousness are fundamental to strengthening the social contract for maximum social benefit.
