Meet Theresa, the amazing Facilitator for Kyabram MyTime, and MyTime Officer for the North East and North West Regions of Victoria.
Meet Theresa, the amazing Facilitator for Kyabram MyTime, and MyTime Officer for the North East and North West Regions of Victoria.
Theresa was first introduced to MyTime in 2015, starting as the Kyabram Play Leader, but it wasn’t long after that Theresa moved into the facilitation role. Over the years, she and the group members have worked closely together and created the strong and supportive MyTime community it is today.
Theresa also became a MyTime Officer in 2022. In this role, Theresa oversees two regions of MyTime groups and supports facilitators to deliver the MyTime program. Theresa says, “It really stretched me and deepened my knowledge and understanding of the MyTime program, as well as helped me build skills I never imagined I would develop.”
Theresa is constantly inspired by MyTime members, their positivity, resilience and ‘never give up’ attitude. She loves the teamwork involved in planning meaningful sessions and seeing members arrive feeling stressed or overwhelmed and then leaving with smiles and renewed energy. While there have been some challenging moments, there has been so much laughter and connection.
When Theresa isn’t working, you will find her travelling, spending time with family and friends, gardening and listening to music. A fun fact, Theresa loves trains, especially steam trains! She is looking forward to an upcoming trip on the Q Train.
When Theresa speaks with potential members, her enthusiasm for MyTime naturally comes through. She truly believes in the value of connecting with others who understand and get it. While the activities and guest speakers are fantastic, she believes the real strength of MyTime is the peer support, the opportunity to share openly and feel understood. That sense of connection is invaluable.
