The "Journey Men"

CatholicCare's Men’s Carer Support group was established to provide male Carers with an opportunity to share caring and life experience from a male perspective by creating a socially supportive and comfortable environment for emotional expression that for many men might be the greatest challenge of all. The support group focuses on different approaches that assist male carers in “breaking free” from isolation that is generally one of the major issues of a caring role. It adds a greater dimension to their lives by supporting the development of strong friendships and offering a pathway to broaden their interests. Carers are provided with the opportunity to get involved in interesting activities and events of their choice that are more of a “male” nature. They are encouraged to do things they enjoy and participate in new and already existing community activities. A well rounded outlook, creativity, a good sense of humour and adventure are all great contributors to overall health and well-being and are very much present and nurtured amongst the group participants.

Friends of Differently Abled People Association

The Friends of DAPA are a group of active carers for people with a disability. Differently Abled People Association Inc. was founded by parents and young people who have a disability including autism spectrum disorder to meet the support needs of people who have a disability and help them discover and develop their abilities and talents to achieve greater independence in the areas of life and social skills, leisure and creative pursuits, communications and technology skills, vocational skills and adult education needs. So often programs and services emphasise the disability whereas our new organisation seeks to take a more positive approach and emphasise the abilities and talents of the individual. This is reflected in the choice of name for the association. It is the key philosophy underlining our purpose in helping people with disability and/or autism spectrum disorder discover and develop their abilities and talents; to make a socially valued contribution to the community and benefit other people in a similar situation to themselves. The association aims to promote greater community awareness of the abilities and talents of people who have a disability and or autism spectrum disorder.

Disability Info Support Hub (DISH)

The concept of Disability Info Support Hubs (DISH) aims to empower and educate people with disability and their families so that over time they become confident to be in control of their own lives, and in turn teach them to then go on and empower others. It is through lack of information, education, status and confidence that these people are often dis-empowered. The DISH concept aims to ensure people with a disability and/or their family members are empowered and informed, who ideally then become the most powerful stakeholders in their lives, which they should be. It is believed that for real change to occur in the disability area greater education, resources and responsibility needs to be given to “family driven” groups in local regions who will create the change that is required. It is believed that the long-term answer to an inclusive, empowered life for people with disabilities lies in the education and empowerment of individuals and families with a disability.
