Come to this workshop to learn how to develop a Circle of Support to enable the person with disability in your life to grow and pursue their goals and dreams.
Register for this workshop here!
Everyone deserves to live a Good Life, as part of a community, where they belong.
Sometimes people with disability have limited opportunities to connect with a broad range of people. We also know that good relationships based on shared interests can be hard to find.
A Circle of Support is a group of people who intentionally support a person with disability to develop, plan and take action on their goals and aspirations so that they can enjoy a Good Life as part of their local community.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is open to people with disability, their families and friends as well as people who are keen to work alongside people with disability to expand their network of relationships with friends and acquaintances.
Jen Cush from Hunter Circles will share her experience of starting Circles alongside people who don’t have existing networks of friends and family. Hunter Circles supports people with disability who don’t have family or other social supports around them to develop a Circle “so that people with disability can take their rightful place at the heart of community – living big, rich lives filled with purpose, love, connection and equal life chances.”
Susanna Wagner is the mother of Luca. Luca is in his early 20s. He has a growing micro enterprise, selling greeting cards with braille messages. Luca’s family began his Circle about a year ago. Susanna will share how and why they started a Circle and how they hope it will support Luca as he pursues a good life.
Free, but registration is essential.
