Publications and Research - Peer Support
Last Friday the Parliamentary Secretary for Families and Community
Services, Andrea Coote MLC, launched a new resource titled "Peer Support". It
is a guide to how people with a disability and carers can share what they know
about self-directing their supports. It acknowledges the value of the
collective wisdom that people with a disability and their supporters hold and
the benefits of people sharing that wisdom and personal experience with each
other.
The guide was written in collaboration with a team of people with a
disability and carers, plus professionals with experience in peer support. The
guide reflects the experiences and opinions of this diverse group of people.
We have a limited number of printed copies to distribute. If there
are particular organisations or people who you think could benefit from this
guide, please contact Eilis Hughes on eilis.hughes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and she will
organise for copies to be sent.
