Positive Directions: Resourcing Families workshop, regional NSW

See the previous post for information about Family Advocacy events scheduled for the 10th October in Coffs harbour and 16th October in Nowra :


About the Workshop:
Many families have said that they would like their son or daughter with disability to enjoy the same good, ordinary, opportunities as their other children but that they find this hard to achieve.

This workshop considers why this is so and explores strategies for helping a person with disability to have a good life as part of their community. These strategies are:

  • having a positive vision for the future
  • working not just for community presence but also community participation and relationships and
  • assisting people to develop and sustain positive roles in their community by ‘looking the part’ and ‘acting the part’.
With NSW Government policy changing to enable people with disability and their families to have more control over their lives, now is a great time to be inspired!
