LOOKING FORWALK LEADERS
The City of Port Adelaide Enfield has become a Host
Organisation for the Heart FoundationWalking Program.
Walking in a group creates strong social connections, helps
people to take notice of the world around them, provides
opportunity to be more active, helps maintain motivation and
builds positive wellbeing.
Physical activity on its own improves physical health and reduces
risk factors for diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease
and some cancers.
We encourage people living in the council area to enjoy our
walking trails, fitness stations and open spaces.
You can be part of a Heart FoundationWalking group no matter
what your ability or level of fitness.Walking is a great way to see
your neighbourhood and meet the people who live there!
Heart FoundationWalking groups are already active in
Semaphore, Port Adelaide, Holden Hill and Gilles Plains.The
Kilburn Community Centre is coordinating a new group on
Tuesday and Thursday mornings, departing about 9.15am.
For more information or to register please contact Christine at
or phone 8405 6730.
We are also looking for enthusiastic people to become Volunteer
Walk Organisers in the following areas:
• Lefevre Peninsula
• Northgate
• Lightsview
• Enfield
• Port Adelaide
Volunteer Walk Organisers are community members interested
in volunteering their time to lead and support a group to keep
walking.The Heart Foundation provides support for Volunteer
Walk Organisers with training and resources.
If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer Walk Organiser
contact Vanessa on or phone
8405 6525.
WHO'S IN CHARGE
Youth and Family Support Workers,Trevor and Kay, have been
delivering theWho’s in Charge program for more than ten years.
The program is targeted at parents and carers of young people
(8-18 years) who are beyond control, violent or defiant.
As children become teenagers, their needs for support in
times of stress change, and as dynamics evolve, many parents
need guidance around how to handle conflict within their
family relationships.
Trevor and Kay have seen the ways in which the program makes
a real difference to the family relationships.Trevor says “It can
be very scary when a child lashes out. Many parents feel guilt or
shame when their child’s behaviour is confrontational or hurtful
and we help parents to re-establish themselves as head of
the household.”
The short course offers insight into the power struggles and
dynamics of family relationships, and offers ideas to help develop
individual strategies for managing behaviours that can lead to
problems.The next free eight week course will be offered in
August at the Enfield Library. Phone Trevor 8405 6862 or
Kay 8341 1334 to reserve your place.
