There are a lot of reasons why people with disability may not be as connected with community as they would like to be. Yet the need to belong is fundamental to all of us. We all want to feel like our presence is noticed and valued by others.
Like most good things in life, building belonging takes work. But experience tells us that there are real things we can do to make connections and to build belonging and that the effort and is well worth it. This practical workshop explores what it means to belong, and looks at the challenges and barriers to belonging that people with disability can experience. It covers strategies and tips to discover what may already be at your fingertips as we map our community to look for opportunities for connection. You will brainstorm new ways to make a contribution, and become strategic in how you seek out membership of new groups and make your approach to be part of something new.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is for people with disability, their families, friends and supporters. It will be of interest to anyone who wants to achieve real belonging and inclusion for themselves or for someone they care about. It can be beneficial for people to attend with support workers, or other people who might help to implement these steps.
