I didn't think it would ever happen

Comment Published at 22:2722:274 comments4 comments26 Visits26 VisitsReport

Well, last Thursday, all the frustration; wishing  hoping; working towards, all came together when I had a meeting with the Local Area Service Manaer of NSW Health, a ward adminstrator, and half a dozen affilliatate staff, so that we could finally reached agreement, and my new Project is starting on Tuesday.

It all started in November, when I  lost my job with as a Welfare Worker.. That was not too bad, My boss had sugested that I look outside the company - not to rely solely on ny current employer for work as a welfare worker, and to perhaps provide a service for patients in psyciatric hospitals.

In January 2009, I had a meeting withthe big wigs of my company, where the outline of my program was structured an much as possible. But the final  decision had to await for Health to come to the party. There have been a couple of  meeting  over a period of time, and two weeks ago, my boss told me he was going the see the Administrator of Mental for Area Health

After tht meeting, my boss told me that we had a meeting with all the big wigs, after which the Program could start. And its is!! - next Tuesday. I am so excited, it scares me.

Since November, my feelings have been that they were stringing me along, not brave enough to tell me my services were no longer required. But lo and behold, it has al come together. One little idea in my head, and it has come to fruition.

Boy, am I excited.

Re: I didn't think it would ever happen

Thanks Janice,

I knew you would be happy for me

The psychiatric hospital is relocating, and all I've heard the bosses saying  for the last couple of months is"Afterthe moove" but they aren't mooving for a couple of months, so you can imagine my joy when they asked me to start before the moove!! Even my boss was shocked.

So, now I am a cousultant to my old company, who is trialing a six months pilotprogram, and if that goes well, and I expect it to, the sky's the limit..I am determined to succeed with helping inpatients to re-assimilate them back in the community.
