An Open Letter to Wimmera Communities It Is with Great Regret An Open Letter to Wimmera Communities It is with great regret that I write to inform you that our Mobile Op Shop venture will finish this week. The Mobile Op Shop, a project of the Wimmera Youth and Community Mobile Centre, travelled to Mitre, Minimay, Glenorchy, Pomonal, Natimuk, Rupanyup, Marnoo, Watchem, Serviceton, Harrow, Rainbow, Yaapeet, Jeparit, Goroke and Apsley during a 12-month pilot period. It provided access to affordable new and second-hand clothing at minimal cost as well as an informal method of outreach and communication with people in outlying areas of the Wimmera. During the pilot, coordinator Susan Griffiths and her crew of dedicated volunteers developed robust relationships with businesses, community groups and individuals in the communities the Mobile Op Shop visited. Wimmera UnitingCare would like to thank everyone who supported the project by donating clothing, volunteering, providing information or promotion and all those who browsed the huge array of items the shop had to offer. Although the project received wonderful feedback and some great outcomes, unfortunately the costs associated with running the Mobile Op Shop are too great for the agency to continue. The costs associated with coordinating projects, maintaining the vehicle and general running expenses have resulted in the Board reconsidering its allocation and a decision has been made to cease all operations and associated activities of the Wimmera Youth and Community Mobile Centre. As for what the future is for the vehicle itself is still undecided. Although the end of the project will come as a disappointment to some, Wimmera UnitingCare sees this as an opportunity to reassess the agency’s strategic objectives and look at other ways we can be support and strengthen individuals, families and communities in our region. Yours sincerely Barrie Elvish Chief Executive Officer Single Session Family Consultation Training Single Session Family Consultations provide a framework to help practitioners make the most of each encounter with clients (whether it be an individual/couple/family session) and offer a unique opportunity to meaningfully engage families/affected others who may seek out a support service only once or twice at a time.

This seminar aims to provide professionals and clinicians with the necessary knowledge and understanding to adequately respond to this group. Join ME/CFS expert, Dr Kathy Rowe; paediatrician at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne for what should be a very valuable seminar. Dr Rowe has over 30 years of experience working with young people living with ME/CFS. She has achieved outstanding national, and international recognition for her work in adolescent health. She is an expert in the area of chronic fatigue syndrome, and championed its cause when it was not fashionable. Prof Leonard Jason, Director of the Centre for Community Research at De Paul University, Chicago, referred to her work as "the most elegant and important in the field" and stated that "the entire field has benefited from the precision and rigor of her methods." Supporting Dr Rowe will be child and adolescent psychologist Lisa Ellis (Active Health Clinic) and Annie Keogh (Carer’s Victoria) - both providing insight into supportive strategies.
