Last minute spots!

Do you work in local government? Are you interested in social inclusion? If so, then the LGA Workshop Series is for you. Starting on the 20th February, this series runs over four dates in 2013 and is designed to really get you thinking about supporting inclusion for marginalised individuals.

*******************************

There are still four places left for this Friday's Community Inclusion Workshop! Get into 2013 by challenging your thought processes with some new ways of thinking about how best to support individuals you work with.

15 February - Community Inclusion Workshop

This workshop relies on drawing parallels.  You will think about a good life in the context of community, drawing from your uniquely human experience to consider the way connections with others are made and enhanced. This same thinking will then be analysed based on what we know about the people we support. This workshop will encourage you to think about your version of a fulfilling life, and relate that to what others may see as a rich life for themselves. The entire premise of this workshop is about exploring the richness of life and the ways we can support others to share in that richness.

8 & 9 April or 11 & 12 April - John Armstrong Two Day Workshop - Towards a Better Life

Inclusion WA, together with Identity WA, are excited to present this critical professional development event.
Towards a Better Life provides an introduction to Social Role Valorisation (SRV). It is designed to create a deeper
awareness of the circumstances of people who are devalued by society, perhaps as a result of physical or intellectual disability, mental illness, ageing, poverty and/or homelessness.
Come and join us in the challenge - let's work to change our thoughts and beliefs to allow movement in a new direction.
This 2 day workshop is designed to assist participants to:

  • Understand social devaluation and its consequences for people who are marginalised;
  • Learn about SRV as a means of addressing those experiences of devaluation;
  • Gain clarity of personal values in regard to issues of devaluation and one's personal service to people who are devalued; and
  • Strengthen, support and confirm one's commitment and purpose to individuals who are wounded by devaluation.

19 April - Supporting Inclusion in the Workplace

This workshop aims to explore the nuances of supporting a person to maintain employment, and to thrive in their workplace. We will not be focusing on the skills people need to perform their work, but the skills people need to be successful in the workplace. Investing in positive relationships with others is likely to be just as, or more valuable to individuals as their ability to perform work duties.
