Support Workers Joanne Fiebig and Greg Vierk keep clients fit and healthy through a regular exercise program with a difference. Calvary’s Brain Gym is an interactive health and wellness program. Each week Calvary clients meet up and exercise together - on their iPads. They complete a series of online games and puzzles designed to keep the brain active, fit and healthy. The training workouts stretch and exercise attention, brain speed, memory, people skills, intelligence, and navigation. Facilitated by Support Workers Jo and Greg, it’s a fun, refreshing and rewarding routine with a big impact. Jo and Greg have both observed an improvement in memory, confidence and digital literacy within the gym group members. ”I was quite surprised at the level of 6
improvement” says Greg, ”I knew it would make a difference but not to that extent”. Jo agrees and says that they all look forward to Thursdays for the next session. ”We have fun” says Jo ”and everyone is eager to beat their own scores and constantly improve”. ”The program has so many benefits”, says Greg, ”it offers a chance to socialise, get involved with technology and keep our brains in shape”.

Life Lessons GOALS AND DREAMS
Author, entrepreneur and blogger, Sue Dymond is an energetic and passionate advocate for daughter Chloe, people with a disability and carers. Sue has consistently challenged society norms about access, expectations and parenting a child with a disability. A resourceful and creative thinker Sue has been a trailblazer for other families and generously shares her knowledge along the way. Many of her tips are captured in the book “Waising Miss Chloe”, launched last year by the Federal Minister for Social Services. Calvary is pleased to have joined Sue and Chloe on their journey.
My life as Chloe’s mother has opened doors to places I would never have had access to and allowed me to be involved with amazing people. I wrote the book ”Waising Miss Chloe” to reassure parents of a disabled children that your life does not have to stop or drastically change because you have a baby with Down syndrome. In fact I am a better person because of it and had amazing experiences. 8
I believe it is our duty as parents to teach and enable all our children to become useful, independent adults. We often find ourselves ’over caring’ for a child with a disability but in fact we have to do less so they can survive and thrive whether we are there or not. Dream big for your child but take small steps. From the moment she was born I wanted to make sure that Chloe could be independent and had more choices in her life.
Continuing the Mission of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary
Sue is a regular blogger at suedymond.blogspot.com.au
Teaching kids with a disability is the same as mainstream children, there are just more steps in between. Each year we focus on developing new life skills - from cooking to using an ATM.
It is not a sign of failure to reach out for help, it is an indication of wisdom. Don’t wait for a crisis before you link into community services. Calvary Community Care support us with weekly respite care. Initially this gave me space and permission to have ’Sue time’.
Chloe works, catches public transport and prepares the family dinner one night a week. Chloe is not unusual, she has just been given opportunities. Now it is all about providing educational opportunities and life See the person not the disability. skilling for Chloe. Our Support Workers provide the family with Chloe is a person who has Down different skills, experiences and syndrome. She is not a Down perspectives so Chloe is not just syndrome person. A simple but very ’taught by mum’. powerful distinction.

Weekly respite services teach Chloe cooking, (spaghetti marinara is a specialty), laundry and other independent living skills.
If I am no good for me, I am no good for anyone.
I believe that everyone has dreams, it is just a matter of finding them.
It is important for carers to remember to look after themselves and to schedule in regular breaks.
If you verbalise your dreams you will find others with the same dreams and drive. I have just set up a not for profit organisation called ”iDareU”. It is designed to inspire and empower people with a disability to follow their dreams and step into the light and shine.
Caring for a loved one with a disability isn’t for sprinters. It is a true marathon. We really need to pace ourselves and keep ourselves as strong as we can. Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. If it is to be, it is up to me. This is one of my mantras. I can’t sit around and wait for things to happen. It has to start with me. We need to be a part of the change we want. 10

A Rich Heritage THE ORIGINS OF CALVARY
Celebrating 130 years of the Little Company of Mary Health Care in Australia. At the invitation of Cardinal Moran, six Sisters of the Little Company of Mary sailed from Naples on the SS Liguria headed for Australia. They braved the tyranny of distance and arrived in Sydney in 1885. The harsh conditions they encountered upon their arrival did not deter the Sisters. They immediately became involved in caring for the sick, poor and the dying, undertaking home nursing and opening a soup kitchen in inner Sydney. The Australian Foundation Sisters were very young to undertake their first international mission. However, by 1888, they started to build the foundations of Lewisham Hospital.
The Sisters lived their mission of prayer, compassion and presence within their communities. For over 130 years the Sisters and those working with them have forged a respected reputation in Australia for the provision of high quality, values-based health, community and aged care. Mark Green, National Director of Mission

Get Active. Feel Great. AQUATICS FOR EVERY BODY
Make a splash this summer. Dive into the water with the aquatic activity that suits your body and fitness level best.
Cool down with a dip in the pool. Water can be used for relaxation, exercise, therapy, fun, sport and competition. Unlike land, where you are weight bearing, the forces of gravity are reduced in water so it is often easier to get your body moving. As Senior Physiotherapist Jan Hill explains, “When you are neck deep in water, only (approximately) ten percent of body weight is felt in your feet making it easier to move”. Water provides scope for exercise ranging from very gentle movement to high aerobic work. 14
Water temperature is also key. According to Jan Hill, who specialises in hydrotherapy “warmer water offers many benefits including pain relief, so is good for people post injury, with poor coordination, tight muscles or other physical conditions”. Aquatics in your Community. Suitable for all ages and life stages, the local community pool is also a great social outlet. “The Romans recognised the power of immersion” says Jan and acknowledges that “there is a levelling aspect associated with getting into your bathers and the pool. People tend to be more relaxed and more amenable so it is a great way to build connections”.
Continuing the Mission of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary
Stay healthy and cool with a range of water exercise options. Aquatic activities are suitable for older people.
Swimming
Pool Walking
Swimming is an important skill for everyone to have to build water confidence and safety. Easy on the joints, swimming is a low impact activity that can improve flexibility, coordination and fitness. You can select your lane, speed and stroke.
A simple activity that can be done on your own or together with a friend. Start in the shallow end. Hold on to the edge, walk up and down or across the pool. Add in some kick boards or hand weights for a greater impact.
Deep Water Running
This is a treatment modality provided by Physiotherapists to treat patients in the water. This treatment utilises the unique properties of water to design a program that suits your individual needs and physical requirements.
A ’cool’ fitness option, the buoyancy of the water softens the impact on bones, joints and tissues while you enjoy the benefits of a healthy workout. Water Aerobics Refreshing, energetic and social. The resistance in the water builds muscle strength and the routines encourage a good cardio workout. Join a class to suit your fitness level.
Hydrotherapy
Want to dive in? Depending on your circumstances you may first need a land based assessment. Contact your local pool for more details.

New Year, New You ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS
The start of a new year is a popular time for resolutions and goal setting. What are your hopes and dreams for 2016?
Check out our tips on how to establish SMART goals and some great resources to inspire and help you stay on track. Being Smart
18
This could be a number, an event or an experience
Make your goals simple, straightforward and SMART – specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely.
• Attainable. Don’t aim too high. Make sure the goal is possible and not out of reach
• Specific. Describe exactly what you want to achieve.
• Realistic. Be practical about the outcomes you want.
• Measurable. What will it look like when it is accomplished?
• Timely. Set dates and milestones for the steps along the way.St
Continuing the Mission of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary
Staying on Track
Socialise your goals! A goal shared is a dream with a deadline. Talk about them with friends, family and your Support Workers so you can stay focused, motivated and work on them together.
Keep it Simple. Select no more than three key goals and focus on them rather than a whole list.
Plan Ahead. Check your calendar and see if there is anything that will make it difficult to stay on track or if there are times you may need extra support.
Monitor your progress. Use a journal, app or statistic. Check in regularly with your goals and how you are tracking. Reflect on what you have achieved – often you will discover that you have come a long way.
Celebrate your successes. Reward yourself when you have achieved a milestone target then plan for the next one.
Learning and Development Keep your brain active by learning a new skill or subject. Idea: University of the Third Age (U3A), offers low cost learning and leisure programs. u3a.org.au
Activity and Fitness
Healthy Eating
Build activity into your daily routines by making different choices eg. Walk to the shops rather than drive. Start with activities like walking, swimming, tennis or tai chi.
Nutrition Australia recommends: less salt, avoid high fat foods and drink more water.
Idea: Do Yoga with Me offers a wide library of online Yoga and Meditation routines that are free to download. doyogawithme.com
Idea: Plan a weekly menu with shopping list. Keep your pantry stocked with nutritious essentials. Calvary Support Workers can help you with menu planning, shopping and meal preparation.
Spirituality
Relationships and Community
Making time for reflection, prayer and thankfulness can keep us connected with our spirituality.
Follow your passion while building community connections.
Idea: Colouring books for adults offer a new way to take mental time out, destress and self connect.
Idea: Volunteer or join a group involved in art, animal welfare, music or heritage buildings.

Hot weather is a hazard for us all. When the temperature rises take steps to avoid heat stress.
Health & Well Being BEAT THE HEAT
Keep Your Fluids Up.
Be Cool.
It is essential to stay hydrated. Even if you do not feel thirsty, drink plenty of water throughout the day. It may help to freeze drink bottles the night before so they stay cool for as long as possible. Avoid coffee and alcohol as these can dehydrate the body.
Wear light clothing and use hand held fans. You can reduce your overall body temperature with a shower or bath.
Retreat from the Heat. Keep out of the sun, especially at the midday and avoid too much activity. Draw blinds, close windows and pull down any outdoor awnings. Turn on air conditioning and ceiling fans. If the house is too hot, consider retreating to air conditioned public spaces such as the library, cinema, shopping centre or swimming pool.
For a fast cool down, wrap ice cubes in a tea towel or face washer and rub over your face and body. No ice cubes? A packet of frozen peas can also do the trick! Stay Connected. Monitor temperature changes through weather alerts on the radio, television, smart phone or websites. Stay in touch with loved ones and monitor for nausea, light headedness or cramps.

Fresh & Quick DATE AND ALMOND BLISS BALLS
Recipe by Maggie Beer
These little super balls contain cinnamon that may help to regulate blood sugar levels and dates which are a great source of fibre. Cocoa is the highest known anti-oxidant food on the planet; frequent consumption may reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Almonds are rich in Vitamin E, an anti-oxidant that helps protect
26
against damaging free radicals and are also high in monounsaturated fats - beneficial for heart health. Coconut oil increases the energy content of these little balls making them perfect for small appetites, and an ideal sweet finger food option! They are also soft enough to be enjoyed by those who have difficulty eating firmer foods.
Continuing the Mission of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary
DATE AND ALMOND BLISS BALLS INGREDIENTS

• 125g toasted slivered almonds
