Life Building for Change

Life Building for Change is an empowerment programme for disabled people who are planning a transition or change in lifestyle

The course aims to:

• help people get the most out of life.

• create a ripple effect as more people share information, help each other and change things locally and nationally.

• develop community participation skills which will enable you to build a fairer and more just society for yourself and others.

• show you how to approach decision makers to influence policy and

develop skills to increase the likelihood of future success.

At the end of this 2 day course participants understand:
• the history of the treatment of disabled people
• whole life planning, using person centred planning approaches and tools
• options for employment, voluntary work and self advocacy
• how decisions are made and how to influence them
• how to access necessary support
• the implications of supported living, direct payments and other lifestyles
• how to use circles of support and community structures of empowerment
