Hi @outlander
Great idea for a studying space. There are definitely a lot of members who study.
I'm actually doing an art therapy diploma at the moment. I have no tips but would love to hear what others have to offer.

Yes @outlander
Art helped me so much over the years with mental health too. Your diploma sounds really interesting too. I remember doing some units on community studies when I was at uni and it's very involved. Super interesting though.
❤️

i already work in the industry the last couple of years @hanami so its been interesting to elarn more. gets really tough though esp with the time management side of things or the way TAFE words their assignments. somethings are totally irrelevant!
but when im finished i hope to be able to do some more peer support work for those with a disability. im looking to specalise abit more but im not sure on the area yet maybe something like support co-ordination or counselling for those with a disability

I used to do support co-ordination @outlander and really liked it. The business was fairly new though and didn't pay me on time and had a few other issues so I left. But the job itself I liked. Loved meeting new people in the community.

@outlander Yep I get that - there are pros and cons of different workplaces for where you are in your own life.
I think I would like to have my own business, but not 100 per cent sure. It would be nice but my husband has his own business and always tried to talk me out of it when I mention it! He hates the never ending admin stuff. So we will see how I go!
