Evening about Self Managed Funding Options for your Teen/Adult with a Disability

Hello!

I’m emailing you about this because you attended the evening on Disability Trusts in August 2009, and might be want to become informed about this innovative program.  Two years ago Ageing Disability and Home Care funded two organisations to trial this throughout NSW;   currently both organisations support families with school leavers (aged 18-25) on the Community Participation Program, and one organisation also supports people with a disability for Lifestyle Choices (aged 26-54) or Active Ageing (aged 54-64).

Melise Bourne of Ability Options and Claire Galvin of Lifestyle Solutions, and two persons / families whom they support, will discuss how the program works.  If you were interested, a staff would meet with your family to make decisions about your goals and support needs, and to shape the support rather than having only access to defined service options.  Resource handouts will be available.

When?        Thursday 18 November, 6.30pm to 8.30pm.  Light refreshment on arrival.

Where?       Meeting room, Warringah Mall Library, same level as Hoyts Cinema, Brookvale.  Same room as last time.

RSVP?       Phone me on 9942 2686 or email janzm@warringah.nsw.gov.au to leave your details.

Regards, Marjorie Janz, Disability Information Officer, Warringah Council.

Located at Dee Why Library, Pittwater Road and St Davids Avenue, Dee Why NSW 2099.
