My name is Seyda, and I've been working as a support worker in Australia for the past five years.

During that time, I noticed something that stayed with me.

Many of the people I supported looked forward to our visits because it gave them the opportunity to connect with someone, have a conversation, and feel part of their community. But when my shift ended and I walked out the door, many of them were alone again.

I kept thinking about what happened after I left. How could I continue supporting people, even when I wasn't physically there?

That question became the beginning of Connect My Soul.

I created Connect My Soul to help people stay socially connected, reduce loneliness, and continue engaging with their community from the comfort of their own home.

Through small, host-led online groups, participants can meet new people, enjoy meaningful conversations, build friendships, and take part in engaging activities in a safe and welcoming environment. My goal is not to replace face-to-face support, but to complement it by promoting community engagement, social participation, independence, and wellbeing.

I truly believe that support shouldn't end when a shift ends. Everyone deserves to feel connected, included, and part of a community.

I hope Connect My Soul can make that possible for many more people.
