Hi Violet I really cant believe that any organisation would employ you to be a recreation activity officer without any qualifications or any idea what to do. No doubt you will learn but it does seem irresponsible on their part. They have a duty of care and so do you to develop and initiate activities are suitable for an individual. There are lots of issues at stake, especially thier safety. Margare
I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs. After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).
Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!
Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!
