Two neurological nurses, Kym Heine and Dianne Hull, from the Neurological Council of WA, visited the Dumbleyung CRC on May 22nd and delivered an interactive information session. The material was well received by those who attended, with many questions asked during the power point presentation and a lot of valuable points covered.
The Neurological Council of WA provides a service called Neurocare to the community, which is funded by the State Government and started in the Wheatbelt a couple of years ago. Community Neurological nurses support all people living with the impact of a neurological condition. The Neurological Council of WA base for the Dumbleyung region is in Northam, and can be contacted on Freecall 1800 645 771.
Monthly education sessions are held to promote wellbeing, quality of life, and independence. Dumbleyung Shire residents are welcome to link into these information sessions via video conference at the Dumbleyung CRC. These sessions are held every third Wednesday of the month and have a variety of speakers and topics. The next session is Wednesday June 19th and will cover Art Therapy. The VC will run for approximately one hour from 1.30pm to 2.30pm and will be FREE. Locals are welcome to bring a cuppa or some lunch and join the group across the airways from 1.00pm.
The July session will be on Wednesday 17th and will focus on the Independent Living Centre and showcase what is available. Please contact the Dumbleyung CRC to register your interest, or for more information call 9863 4829 or email admin@dumbleyungcrc.com.
