Hi people, I'm Sarah & I'm a worker for Peerhear. I've been a mental health, drug & alcohol, suicide pre and post vention peer worker for many years. I've got indepth knowledge of the ndis ( in case anyone wants to ask any questions) and I'm also a carer of adult children with disabilities. I've got a few framework I work in, but by far my favorite atm, is this
"One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”
The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”
“Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf.
Then, smiling at the man, he said…..“I made a difference for that one.”
Love that Sarah. Thanks for sharing. Really beautiful.
