Hello @Former-Member and @Anastasia @frog @Meowmy @MDT
The work that we were involved with was, as public service staff, assisting people with work placements, training opportunities, apprenticeships, personal development - The STS Leeuwin (Sail Training Ship), TAFE Courses, and the associated financial support. Most of this work has now been outsourced to private companies.
The lady to whom I have referred probably knows me better that anyone else. So is also aware of the issues that I personally deal with. As far as I am aware, she is not effected by any psychological issues. She has simply accepted me for who I am, without reservation, for which I am particularly thankful.
I have also been accepted by members of her extended family, from which I gain much social support. They are not aware of any issues that I have, unless they would have known from my own presentation.
Both my friend and I know that we are each assured of discretion with regard to any issues or matters that we discuss. So, as can be imagined, I consider myself extremely fortunate to have such a friend.
With Best Wishes
HenryX
