Disability Awareness Inclusion Training
Event description
One in five Western Australians has a disability, including intellectual, mental health, cognitive, sensory or physical impairment, along with neurological difference. So, regardless of our work or community role, we can assume that most of us will have some interactions with people with a disability as colleagues, clients or stakeholders.
Presented by Evolve (through Department of Communities funded 'EMPOWER project'), this program was developed in consultation with people with disabilities and provides participants with an understanding of different types of disability. It looks at how we can go beyond compliance to create places, programs and communities that are universally accessible and celebrate diverse strengths.
Along with developing an understanding of disability and what it means in a modern world, this course develops inclusive attitudes and challenges outdated assumptions.
Befriend and Purpose Studio (powered by The Platform) have come together to host this workshop for our members and community to support our skill development and advocacy in this area.
This is a FREE workshop, however spaces are limited and registration is essential.
Complimentary tea and coffee provided.
