SF Central Otago Drop in Days

Wednesdays 1pm – 3pm

Are times for discussions or sharing stories / problems and finishing work started at the Sunshine Support Group on a Monday.

Other times there may be a guest speaker or continuation of a previous workshop.

Group staff will be available for you to seek help with advocacy and ask questions or just listen so you can share a problem or an achievement.

If you wish to speak to staff in private let them know in advance so they can arrange for this to happen.

Wednesday 1.00 – 2.00pm

A small exercise group operates. If you would like to go for a walk or bike ride with some one else please let a staff member know so they can arrange it.

We have one spare bike and a helmet if you do not have your own.

Fridays 1pm – 5pm

Are times when you can work on developing skills you may need to return to the work force.

There are two computers and a printer available for you to work on your curriculum vitaes; or staff can arrange for Workbridge staff to show you how a CV is written and presented. We have examples for you to look at also.

There will be opportunities for practice of job interviews – how to present yourself and answer questions in a stressful situation – help you develop strategies for dealing with anxiety in an interview.

Fridays are also days when you can work on any study you may be undertaking – staff will be able to help you with this.

Art and craft projects can be completed using SF Central equipment on these days as well.
