Resilience – Part 1
The word resilience is becoming more widely used these days to refer
to our ability to deal with disappointment, illness or trauma in our
lives. From the City of Salisbury in SA, Manager for Community Services
Pru Blackwell speaks about a seminar coming up in two weeks time, on
this topic of resilience, and on the role of local government in facilitating
events that address the changing needs of communities. The seminar is
open to all with an interest in health and wellbeing.

Help is at hand for parents!
A report released by the Australian Childhood Foundation has revealed
that 70% of Australian parents feel they are under significant community
pressure to get ‘their parenting right’ in today’s rapidly
changing society. One in four parents reported they risk being negatively
judged if they admit to having a problem with their parenting and this
pressure stops them from asking for help in times of difficulty. In Take
Time this week, Tony Ryan’s guest is Dr Joe Tucci, Chief Executive
of the Australian Childhood Foundation.

Adelaide’s Trams Revisited
For many weeks, Adelaide’s only remaining tram service has not been
running from Victoria Square to Glenelg, because of major track maintenance
in readiness for the new trams early next year. With the trams now back
in service, today we revisit some of Adelaide’s history and hear
of the once-extensive network of trams that serviced many of Adelaide’s
suburbs. This is a repeat of a program first broadcast in February of
this year.

Resilience – Part 2

visit to South Australia, Tony Ryan recorded this extended and exclusive
interview with Anne Deveson.
