Here's our review
Please share so others can read about the great work SEC have been doing in collaboration with Charmagne and Smart Support.
Thank you for your review Charmagne.
We’d like to extend a big thank you to the team at Support Embrace Connect Victoria being such a helpful and collaborative partner.

Working together across different providers in the mental health sector can be challenging, but it’s a vital part of delivering quality support in such a complex and sensitive field. Casey, as Team Leader, and Donna, as Director, have both played a key role in making this collaboration smooth and effective.

We truly appreciate your professionalism, care, and commitment to the work you do. We look forward to continuing this partnership and want to acknowledge that your efforts are making a real difference in the lives we all support.

Keep up the great work!

Regards,
Charmagne
Managing Director - Smart Support

SEC have since day one worked hard to get the best outcome for our participants and when their care teams work together we get results. We have had some pretty amazing outcomes in our 5 years. Today we were given a review from a company we have been collaborating with. It's a company we have worked with on many occasions but this new level of collaboration has been amazing for the team involved but seeing the positive impact on our participants while working together for the best outcome. Both our businesses are client focused and outcome driven which helps gain the outcomes we work for.

I am so glad you sent this through to me Tanya Dewhurst-Rose. This from my point of view is what we do at SEC. Support people while giving them that positive reinforcement when they are doubting themselves. When you see this outcome from what we do is amazing. It is life changing for people when they learn how to have positive self belief and self talk. Watch video to the end!!

SEC have ran cooking groups for the past three years with returning participants each term learning new and tasty ways to cook at home with a cost effective and tasty menu planned. We have had feedback from coordinators that the participants are engaging in the community more with groups and support as well as improving daily living skills and independence. We love watching the growth and confidence throughout the time of the group and the relationship building.
