Hi Solange I am studying Cert IV Leisure & Health and doing my work placement at a day respite centre. I am amazed at the rigidity/rules that are cropping up both where I am and at other facilities too. For example, massaging and the use of essential oils are prohibited, even a gentle hand massage with some hand lotion is disallowed! I am new to the industry and feel perplexed by the difference in rules and regulations between workplaces. I have heard different stories from other students and at my local Diversional Therapy Association meetings. By the way, congrats on a great website with so many great resources and tips.
Golden Carers is a wonderful resource. I really like the idea that more of it is going to be in video format as this grabs my participant's attention! Even after 20 years in the activity director role, the ideas in Golden Carers are often refreshingly innovative and really useful, even on the fly. Your help is invaluable! Many thanks!
