August’s Employee of the Month Winner: Janine! 🤩

Our lovely Janine joined the Creativ Minds team in February 2025. She’s built strong professional relationships with all her clients since then, providing them with reliable, high-quality care and support. Janine provides her clients with gentle encouragement to achieve their goals, tailors support to fit their specific needs, while upholding the NDIS Code of Conduct and respecting their choices.
 
Several key strengths of Janine’s include her communication and collaborative skills, as well as her initiative. Janine has liaised directly with her client’s care team to arrange and organise support for her clients. She is wonderful at identifying any risks to her clients’ well-being and safety, while also addressing any barriers towards achieving their goals. She takes their feedback on board, and works collaboratively to ensure the best outcome for her clients. 
 
Janine has consistently remained communicative with the Management team and uploads detailed shift notes. She has a remarkable ability to pivot when identifying a new goal area to work on — she will take all the steps required to actively work on these goals during sessions, while also balancing autonomy and recognising when clients need a break, are disengaged, or require additional support.
 
Janine remains proactive and attentive during all her shifts, and goes above and beyond for her clients. Janine, we’re so lucky and grateful to have you as one of our mentors! 

Congrats Janine, we are so proud of you! 🌷🤍☀️

Creativ Minds kicked off its Group Activity Program two weeks ago with a Mini Games & Quiz Night! 🎉🎈🤩

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to a night of fun, laughter, and competition! Congrats to “The Winners” for winning — what a fitting Team Name! 😉 We hope you all enjoyed yourselves. 🌷🌙

We aimed to implement one-on-one mentoring in a group setting for participants to achieve their social and community access goals and practice skills learned during individual mentoring sessions within a wider group setting!

July's Employee of the Month Winner: Simone! 🌟

Our wonderful Simone joined the Creativ Minds team in July 2024. Since joining, she has made great connections with participants, providing them with high-quality care and person-centred support. Simone provides her clients with active listening, empathy, and encouragement to progress towards their goals, while still respecting their decisions and autonomy.

One particular moment that stood out to us was Simone's incredible ability to problem solve on the spot when she encountered something that posed a risk to a participant's health. When Simone identifies any risks to her participants' well-being, not only does she take immediate action to reduce these -- she also takes steps to mitigate future risks. She always documents these in her wonderfully detailed case notes, and raises any issues with management as well.

While that was a stand out moment, it wasn't the only one. Simone has consistently demonstrated high levels of attunement and attentiveness to her participants' specific moods, surroundings, wellbeing, and needs. She maintains a delicate balance between encouraging them to take small steps towards their goals, while also recognising when they might need additional support or advocacy.

It is evident how comfortable her participants feel with her. Simone is a safe space -- the rapport and trust built between her and her participants have helped them through challenging times and situations. Simone plays a huge role in her participants' lives while upholding strong professional boundaries, to ensure everyone's well-being.

Simone, we're so lucky and grateful to have you as one of our mentors (and Group Facilitator as well now)! We are so proud of your continuous performance, growth, and your receptiveness to feedback. Thank you for all of your care and dedication, and for being a part of Creativ Minds. 🩷✨

📸 Beautiful scenes around Adelaide captured by participant Chris during his photography mentoring sessions. Chris is exploring his passion for photography and honing his skills through photography mentoring sessions with Creativ Minds.

Not only is it a weekly outing to look forward to, but an opportunity to get out into the community and feel connected to our incredible city, engage with his passions, build confidence and sense of fulfilment, and he has even printed his art to display and gift to others.

🌻 Do you know about the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower? It's an international symbol of awareness for those with hidden disabilities, like autism, anxiety, and chronic pain. It promotes awareness and inclusivity, allowing individuals with hidden disabilities to navigate public spaces with greater ease and support.

Wearing the Sunflower lets others know that you (or someone with you) has an invisible disability and might need a little extra assistance, patience and understanding while navigating public places such as shopping centres and airports.

🛍️ You can pick up a lanyard or wristband at the Concierge desk of most Westfield Shopping Centres!
