Diversity Dialogues, Unpacking Family Violence and Disability - Responding to Non Disclosures of Disability in Practice

REGISTRATIONS CLOSE 6TH AUGUST 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 offer attendees a look into how a client can remain supported and have their access and support needs met during their engagement with your service, without disclosing a disability or diagnosis.

The session has been co-designed with the Family Violence Disability Practice Leader, from Central highlands Integrated family violence committee, Susie Muller.

Susie will speak at length about the Disability Responsive Intake Report that has been trailed in the Central Highlands, and how it is making a difference for everyone. This session will be emphasising how practitioners as well as service systems can implement processes that are not considered 'alternative' but rather, the standard. 


What will you learn from this session?

• How to ‘park the disability’
• How to build trust
• Why Non disclosures occur
• When and why does disability identification matter?
• How can you meet someone's support needs if they don't disclose or identify?

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.
