One Comment on "Making Choices"
Ian Michael Drinkwater on Thu, 21st Jan 2010 2:44 pm
Hi
Following 2 years of counselling, I am now ready to start to learn how to organise my life. I need to learn all the skills and routines that are normally learnt through being parented during early childhood – like when to wake up, what to do when i wake up, when to eat etc. I missed this teaching at this time because i was rejecting my adoptive parents at the time. Now i need to learn this.
In the daytime i am finding things to occupy my time, one of which is a new voluntary role at citizens-eye for the DZine project. …Which is how i found this comment form.
I’m currently unemployed, recieving Income Based JSA and am wondering if there are any funded courses available, or doccumentation, or a website that i can simply follow and learn that way.
Either way i would be very greatful for any assistance regarding this need.
Thankyou
Ian Michael Drinkwater
