Learn approaches and tools to help build a good life for your children and whānau.

We are offering a FREE two-part Zoom workshop. Topics include:

  • Accessing health and disability supports to build a good life
  • Understanding chronic stress and trauma, how to build family wellbeing and resilience
  • Your child’s education: rights, inclusion, specialist intervention, how to build partnerships with educators, complaints pathways and resolution
  • Vision planning, goal setting, building community and support networks
  • Enabling Good Lives principles and how to effectively advocate for your child

Workshop facilitator Frian Wadia has many years’ experience advocating for her own disabled children. She is connected with a number of groups and initiatives that champion inclusion and equity for disabled children within their communities.

It is recommended to attend both sessions.
