Hi Libby,
Thank you for a well thought-out and considered guide to p-ractical issues around promoting the wonderful opportunity that supportive housemates bring to people’s lives. i just did a workshop with Dee Sanders through Pathways to Leadership about asset based community development and found the methodical, measured work they do to be inspiring. Really looking at people’s gifts, talents and uniquness is how we should all be, in and out of work mode

Hello Libby
Thanks for putting these tips together and making them available to those of us who see housemates as a great option for people with disability who are being supported to live great lives in their communities.
You will be pleased to hear that it has been a pretty good year for the 10 people Kalpana is supporting here in Brisbane.

Hi Kerry yes I’ve been following your movements around these workshops. Great initiatives! Just talking with Sarah at Belonging Matters in Vic about capacity-building work and importance. Would love to talk with you about how you guys are thinking about it and how we are thinking of tackling it.

Hi Libby, this is great information for other people/parents who are looking for supportive people in the life of the loved one with disability. I am currently coordinating the series of workshops aimed at preparing people living with disability for the decisions and choices they will need to make one’s the National disability insurance scheme is implemented. I will forward the information on to them. Hope everything is going well for you and Matthew, Kerry
