Hello!
The newsletter starts with a bush dance and discobility, a new paper studio, art works at Sunnyfield, several large festivals (VividLIVE, Biennale, Sydney Writers), and a call for Deaf actors to make a film promoting the National Relay Service. Carers are invited to a Wellness day, the Life House Project and the Father/Grandfathers’ day. There are vacancies in In-Home Respite and for CALD people who require case management. Fundraising involves the Biggest Morning Tea, Sex and the City 2, and the community development grants.
Resources include information on revision of the National Standards for Disability Services, support groups for mental health, the Carers (Recognition) Bill 2010 and www.d4d.com.au. Your participation is invited regarding the revision of National Standards, pedestrian access and mobility in Warringah, and World MS day.
Workshops and meetings involve carers of people with mental illness, family law, bullying and racism, knowing your rights, energy, glaucoma, clients from refugee-like backgrounds, the first GLADNET online seminar, role of fathers, computer assistive technology, and several courses at Northside Community Forum. Conferences deal with schizophrenia, caring, intellectual disability and mental health. There is a DVD launch on the devolution from institutions to homes. There are also two paid positions.
Your comments and suggestions are welcome, as always!
