Maria lives with mental health conditions. This was impacting on her self-care, and she was living rough. She was relying on substances which were further impacting her health and wellbeing.
When she connected with Job Coach Viviana, her goals were clear – focus on her health and wellbeing and find herself accommodation.
Maria knew her first step towards these goals was to find employment. Viviana shared the health and wellbeing benefits of working with Maria which further enhanced her drive to find meaningful employment.
Viviana referred Maria to our internal Wellness Services for support with her mental health.
She was also provided with food assistance, and clothing so that she could look and feel her most confident self at interviews.
“Maria feels she is heard, and said the care we have given her, has supported her to get back on her two feet,” said Viviana.
She soon found herself temporary accommodation, and with that she found new challenges. Maria found she didn’t want to leave the safety of her accommodation.
Viviana provided Maria with flexible service during this time including phone appointments.
“Each time, Maria received tailored support to her circumstances, she felt more positive within herself, and things are improving day by day,” said Viviana.
“Maria is able to leave the house more frequently than before and able to do basic living things with ease.”
The continued support by atWork Australia has helped Maria’s mindset and she is now feeling confident and positive towards her goal of employment.
“Thank you, Viviana, for always being my source of comfort and support. You give me positive encouragement,” said Maria.
“Thank you for being my Job Coach.”
