Diversity Dialogues, Unpacking Family Violence and Disability - Capacity and Inclusive Practice

REGISTRATIONS CLOSE 4th JUNE, 2024 10:00AM

This session is part of an ongoing monthly series to serve the Loddon region, hosted by the Family Violence Disability Practice Leader at Centre for Non Violence. 

This 1.5 hour Professional Development will approach the topic of capacity in relation to disability, and how the current service systems perception of capacity can be harmful and damaging to people with disabilities. It suggests ways of making the service system responses more inclusive and challenges our thinking and responses to align with that inclusive practice. 

The session has been co-designed with the Specialist Disability Practitioner roles at Anglicare and Bendigo Community Health Services and the Complex Disability Support Practitioner at Anglicare. 

What will you learn from this session?

• What is capacity
• How do we confidently identify and measure capacity
• Non verbal communication in practice
• Disability informed practice
• The intersect of capacity & parenting
• Children with disabilities and how we hear their voice

There will be an opportunity for you to submit questions to be included in the Q&A session at the conclusion of the presentation. These questions will be kept anonymous and a written response to questions will be provided to attendees once the recording is sent out. 

Please note, the session will be recorded and disseminated across the Loddon region. Attendees video's will not be visible in the recording and the Q&A session will not be recorded.
