SUMMARY:Facilitating Conversations That Matter - Workshop
DESCRIPTION:About this workshop \nOften our conversations and planning with people who have a disability and others who have needs focuses on what people can’t do or finding “services” for people rather than how a person could contribute to their community. This workshop aims to assist facilitators and planners to enhance their skills and engage in deeper conversations about assisting people to pursue valued roles in the community. \nTopics covered in this workshop include: \n\nDisrupting patterns of thinking and resistance\,\nCreating vision\,\nEmbracing diversity\, values and community\,\nExploring valued roles\,\nBringing life to meetings\,\nDoing work that matters\,\nGetting unstuck\, and\nConnecting people and ideas.\n\nWho is the workshop for? \nThis workshop would be of interest to those who facilitate Circles of Support\, team meetings or planning meetings that aim to increase the inclusion of people who might be marginalised from the community e.g. people with a disability\, people who have a mental illness\, people who are aging etc.   \nPresenters \nDeb Rouget is the CEO of Belonging Matters. For nearly 30 years\, she has been involved in the lives of people with a disability and their families and has gained much practical experience and wisdom about imagining and designing supports that enable people with a disability to have typical opportunities in the community. Teresa Micallef 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 20 years. She has been the Coordinator of a family governed service called Living Distinctive Lives for the past 9 years and is currently the Project Manager of Building Community Networks at Belonging Matters. \nThrough their varied work\, both Teresa and Deb have learnt what it takes to facilitate conversations\, meetings and Circles of Support which aim to establish\, maintain and harness people’s enthusiasm and skills to enable a full\, meaningful and inclusive life for those they support. \nCost for one day \nConcession $60.00 (incl.
