Many people with disability live their lives surrounded by services or paid staff, with few relationships beyond their families. Having friendships and a community around us is an essential part of a fulfilling life and also provides a safeguard for the future.
Join this workshop to:
- Explore ways to build context to relationships
- Discover how to turn everyday situations into moments of possibility
- Learn how to initiate an “ask” or “invitation” to engagement
- Learn about strategies such as circles of support
- Build a community around a person to safeguard their life
- Hear real-life stories and examples
You'll also gain clarity about the most crucial role of the supporter: being a bridge to community and relationship.
