Today (29th November) is: Blue Ribbon Day/National Police Remembrance Day, [Mo]re Than A Run!

Today is a chance for the community to say thank you to those who protect and serve our community and ensure that those who have fallen are never forgotten. The first Blue Ribbon Day was launched in 1999, after the outpouring of community support for Senior Constable Rodney Miller and Sergeant Gary Silk who were tragically killed on 16 August 1998. Today we remember the 178 Victoria Police Officers who have died in the line of duty and say thank you to all Victoria Police officers for their work in serving & protecting our community. https://remember.org.au/events/blue-ribbon-day/

Today runners are challenged to raise money to fund groundbreaking men’s health initiatives in mental health and su***de prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Since 2021, more than 10,000 runners from 300 run clubs raised more than AUD $2.5M for Movember. To be part of the action, join a team, and then decide which one of three challenges you'll do at your local [mo]re than a run event: 10km, 30km and 60km runs. Each distance represents an important men’s health statistic – and also ensures that runs are accessible for different fitness levels. The Movember 60: 60km for the 60 men that die of su***de every hour around the world.The Movember 30: 30km for the 30% rise in the number of Australian men dying by su***de over the last decade. The Movember 10: 10km for the 1 in 10 men around the world living with an anxiety disorder. https://au.movember.com/support-us/more-than-a-run https://www.morethanarun.com.au/event/MELBOURNE1

Hi Everyone, here is today's Webinar my last for the year! I hope you find it interesting and informative :)

Today (25th November) is: National Silly Socks Day!

Today the first day of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, Australia's first National Silly Socks Day is being launched— and you're needed to step up. Every night, 1 in 2 women seeking refuge are turned away because there aren’t enough beds. Together, we can change that. Visit one of the 80+ participating hotels across Australia to purchase your pair of Silly Socks. Slip them on. Wear them bright. Share them proudly. Show the world you’re standing up to domestic violence and standing with women who deserve safety, dignity, and hope. Every pair sold helps fund more shelter beds — the goal is to provide 500 new beds in 2026. Because sometimes, something as small as a pair of socks can help save a life. https://www.dvcollective.org/sillysocks

Hi Everyone, on today's episode I had Janine Sigley Managing Director/Cofounder Story Dogs is a reading support program for primary school children. They are a reading support program with a big difference in that they take wonderful dogs into schools and make reading fun for children. https://www.storydogs.org.au/ https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/kayla5383/?fbclid=IwY2xjawOR32hleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFQZ0Y2czdOTlBmck1BdWpEc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHhbyqPSaIbT6967uak4nTLdS1uUedem50SnhwaR3IYBY0pQda3sBo46qMwRU_aem_gQiU-OKLKVY-dQ8Dfw_TPQ

Vision: to make reading fun for children so that they become confident life long readers. They believe that no child should be left behind in literacy, every Australian child deserves to be able to read-we are in a developed country and we still have children getting to high school unable to read. They've got a big job ahead of them and they are ready to make it happen and help lots of children become confident lifelong readers.

Mission: they want to create a safe environment for the children to feel that they can relax-a dog makes that environment happen. When they're with a dog they can relax, gently stroke the dog and then they feel that they can have some confidence and overtime their confidence improves. It's making that space for children to feel: safe, confident and to have a go-when perhaps they might not in a different space.

They help over 2870 students every week reading with a dog. They're very proud of that, they've come a long way in the 16 years that they've been around since 2009. They have nearly 580 dog teams all around the country partnering with over 400 schools-it's a great achievement, but there's a lot of work to do. They want to be in every primary school in Australia and there's over 6,000. They're very excited and they want to help as many children as they can.

Volunteer: the commitment that's asked is that they commit around 2 hours every week at the same time on the same day and that they have a calm, gentle, obedient dog that they would like to share with the children. They don't train the dogs, that's left up to the volunteer-it's their own dog generally. The welfare of the dog is really important. The dog needs to sit on a mat and listen to a child read. They give the volunteers some training on how to make the reading sessions fun. They would love more volunteers they've got a waiting list for around about 500 schools long. There are so many schools that want the program. The more volunteers they can get the better. https://www.storydogs.org.au/how-to-volunteer

Sponsor: Dog sponsorship is one of the fundraising pillars. They are a charity-registered with the ACNC-all of their income is through donations, dog sponsorship, school contributions. To get a volunteer into a classroom/school it costs around $600-they don't want their volunteers dipping into their pocket. They want to make it as easy as possible for a volunteer to come onboard-they want to somehow cover those costs. They give the volunteers a starting kit-reading rug, books, training, uniform. They ask to try and find a sponsor for the dog. The benefit the sponsors get is: they get their business logo on the dogs vest, on Story Dogs website, they get visits from the dog. Quite often it's a local business-so they feel that they're more connected to the community because they are helping children learn to read. It's a great way for businesses to give back to the community. They've got about 87% of their dogs sponsored. They would love more sponsors. It's a lovely way to connect with the: local school, community and do something nice. https://www.storydogs.org.au/sponsor-a-dog

Donate: sponsorship covers the dog teams. The schools also contribute to the program-they support the leadership team/coordinators and they look after a local group of dog teams volunteers and support them. Lots of other expenses: governance, stuff that goes on behind the scenes to make sure the volunteers are well: recognised, valued. General donations are welcome. If you would like to donate some money to buying books they can put your name on the back of the book-this book was donated by. An important aspect of the program is really nice quality, fun, engaging children's books. They don't use school readers because they're often boring-they want to make the reading sessions fun. Story Dogs select the reading books themselves as well as in partnership with the school. Often the reading sessions happen in the school library. They give all of their volunteers 6 books to start with-so that they have a place to start. They get returned to Story Dogs when a volunteer leaves. They buy reading rugs with the money. https://www.storydogs.org.au/donate

The Christmas appeal is happening at the moment: https://www.storydogs.org.au/christmasappeal

The volunteers see the same students each week, the students are chosen by their teachers-so the volunteer gets to have a relationship with the student, the student starts to have a relationship with the dog and they start to relax and then their confidence builds. What they're seeing in schools now is that students are quite anxious, fearful and if you're fearful you can't learn-you're just concerned about your safety or what's happening next. It's not until you relax-have a few laughs, pat/stroke a gentle, soft dog that you can actually start to learn. Some of the students are so anxious that they've shutdown-they don't speak at school. They're called selective mute students-they might speak at home or in a safe environment. It's very hard for a teacher to teach/engage with that student because they've put up barriers. Their program comes along with a wonderful, soft, shaggy dog and the student can sit there and just relax-there's no pressure on them. The volunteers will read the stories to the students if the students are unable/not at the level to be able to read themselves. Its all about having fun with the stories and getting the meaning of the stories and what they find is that after a few weeks those students who don't speak to anyone else at school start to speak to the dog-they encourage them to whisper to the dog or to tell the dog if they liked the story and they start to interact with the dog and by the time term 1/2 has finished they're actually reading-because they probably can read but they're so emotionally shutdown that they haven't been able to in the past. Story Dogs program works with the students-gives them: time, space and they then become amazing, confident, students. Dogs don't judge. For a student that's having trouble focusing or is agitated-what they get them to do is stroke the dog, they sit still for 20 minutes because they're with the dog. It makes such a change. They go I can: relax, focus on the words/meaning/book and have some fun reading.

There's lots of information on the website. There's a volunteer tab: how to volunteer, what your dog needs to do-there's a video of the dog team assessment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fe8WtL4VKw all of the dog teams get assessed by a 3rd party-they're dog experts not by a Story Dogs person and that dog expert looks at the dog team as a team and makes sure that the dog is happy and that the team will be safe in a school environment around students. There's information about sponsorship. Read the stories: feedback from- teachers, parents. Some parents say their child didn't want to go to school but now on a Wednesday when it's Story Dog day they're ready/keen. Some parents say their children come home and read to their own dog or cat. If children can pick up a book outside of school hours-fantastic.

25th November-10th December is: 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence !

By the age of 16, at least 1 in 5 girls have already experienced physical, sexual, or emotional abuse - and they are up to 58% more likely to face tech-facilitated abuse such as harassment, image-based exploitation, or stalking. This year, businesses and community groups are encouraged to help protect our young daughters, nieces and sisters today - so that our future generation of friends, wives, co-workers, leaders, and mothers avoid becoming another statistic of lifelong violence. A DV Safe Phone offers respite from harassment and a private lifeline. In a world where phones can be used as tools of control, a safe, untraceable phone restores agency and provides a secure path to help. https://dvsafephone.org/16days
