Employability: Podcasts! 3 of 3: Travel Training and Food Prep

Choices Waves is an exciting broadcasting station supporting people to learn skills
for employment.

This podcasts reflects on travel training tips (the basics of finding your way building on simple journeys like going from our bed to the toilet and back, how to plan your journey and plan b’s if something goes wrong, roads, busses and trains, and staying safe), other tips (use the Mooveit app, ask for help, take pictures at landmarks) and food prep (diary, balanced diet, enjoy your foods, include people, cook for someone maybe and have a goal – saving money, staying healthy or for a weight goal).

Hope it helps provide food for thought.

Have a fab week.

Stay real, stay you, stay fruity.

Podcasts! 1 of 3: Reconnecting To The Community

Professionally, I help people with a disability secure volunteering and employment. I branched out to work with Choices Waves which is an exciting broadcasting station supporting people to learn skills for employment.

Kerry Brown and I discussed ‘Reconnecting: Transitioning from lockdown and being locked in to re-emerging and #reconnecting to the community.’

This podcasts reflects on expectations (masks, perception of covid, what to say if you’re not wearing a mask at rigid venues, and touches on anxiety), how to overcome potential hurdles (masks now optional, ask for help, plan to visit less busy shops through quieter routes, remember the benefits of reconnecting) and tips (regain your routine, re-explore at your own pace, share your preferences, write down your goals, it’s ok to cancel and try to be a friend to yourself).

Hopefully this helps #tackle taboo topics like #disability and #mentalhealth.
