FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome to the first issue of Just Better
Care’s refreshed magazine, Possible. At Just Better Care, we are building an Australia where everyone has the opportunity to contribute
to and participate in community life. In every issue, this magazine will feature stories that empower people to rise to challenges, achieve their goals and transform their lives.
We all remember a moment in time when a word of advice, an opportunity, or a helping hand changed our lives for the better. The world is full of life-changing possibilities.
In this first issue, we share articles about how people are creating possibilities with a few small steps. Every day around Australia, thousands of older people and people living with disability are taking their first steps towards achieving great things. This means something different to everyone. For some people,
it could be embarking on a camping trip or boosting their health and fitness, while for others it could be preparing their own meals or keeping in touch with friends.
In August, Peggy will celebrate her 101st birthday. Peggy lives independently in a retirement village, attends monthly Country Women’s Association meetings and regularly shares a chuckle
or two with friends over lunch. Keeping herself busy and getting involved in different activities is the key to living a long life, she says.
For David, his incredible weight loss journey started with
a few simple steps. After months of dedication and encouragement from his support network, David has developed the tools to lead a happier life and make his weight loss goal possible.
Do you have a story you would like to share about how
you are achieving your goals and creating new possibilities? If so, we would love to hear from you. Send your story to Micheala.Longbon@ justbettercare.com.
