Teresa Micallef

Teresa has always chosen to work at the cutting edge of change in community and has worked alongside people with disabilities and their families for over 25 years.

​

For 9 years she was the Co-ordinator of a family governed service called Living Distinctive Lives, in which each person with intellectual disability and/or autism developed their own vision for home and then moved into their own place with a range of personally tailored support.

​

Currently, Teresa is the Project Lead of Building Community Networks at Belonging Matters and provides mentoring and training in Circles of Support.

​

Teresa has been impressed by the power, creativity and resilience of people who experience disability, their families and networks to foster community pathways and opportunities for genuine inclusion.
