Engagement, Outings and Connection

The Optus sim packs that were donated to the Freedom Hub have been paramount in maintaining and promoting survivor engagement throughout these testing times.
With the pandemic came stay-at-home orders, isolation periods, venue closures, and transportation disruptions; symptoms of the pandemic that were on track to further isolate the demographic we aim to serve. Being able to provide our survivors with data packs aided in bridging gaps of separation, facilitating the transition of educational curriculum from face-to-face learning to an online format, and promoting quality access to service that ultimately boosted engagement during a time that engagement was rapidly declining. Connecting with survivors, maintaining an open dialogue, facilitating educational programs, and ensuring engagement within those programs is vital to the work that we do, your donation and helping hand has made this bumpy ride throughout the pandemic just a little bit smoother.
Further distribution of sim data packs to our survivors will enable contact between survivors, volunteers, and education coaches to continue, facilitate the ability for survivors to access, view, and complete homework activities, and aid in boosting engagement as we set more survivors up with autonomous access to our online services. Survivors can access yoga classes, coffee club, language groups, resources, and many other classes on offer from the comfort of their own homes thanks Good360 and Optus for donations such as this!
