A workshop to assist people with a disability to create and thrive in their own home.
In this practical and down to earth workshop, we will explore individualised and innovative ways that people with intellectual disability have created their own home, while getting the support they need.

Creating Good Beginnings with Support Workers
Online Workshop
3 June 2025
Increasingly, people with a disability and their families are self-managing or directing their support workers to enable a full, meaningful and inclusive life. This often involves not only establishing and maintaining positive relationships but motivating support workers, keeping them focused on what is important and making the most of their talents.
This online workshop, facilitated by Groupwork Centre, aims to explore ways to create good beginnings with support workers and to further develop communication skills to set up and maintain positive working relationships.
