More Information

😢 Do you or the person you love or work with feel alone even with support? You’re not the only one. 😔 Many people with disabilities feel the same way. They have support but no real friends. This isn’t okay. 🌈 Let’s work on changing that! 🤝 Our workshop will help you think about making friends and being part of the community. 🤔 What will we do?
  • 🌟 Learn what “good support” really means.
  • 🌉 Talk about how paid support DONE WELL can help you make friends.
  • 💪 Share easy steps to build relationships that last.
  • ❤️ Think about how to make a real difference in people’s lives.
  • 🧡 Learn how to find friends, not just support.
  • 🎤 Join Sam Paior and Dr Leighton Jay for this very practical workshop
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Who should come? Disabled people, family carers and support workers (and even Support Coordinators) 🤗 Don’t miss out. Everyone deserves a friend.
