A home is more than just a place to live—it reflects who we are, how we connect with others, and provides a foundation of security and comfort.
For people with disability, having a home of their own is not only possible but can serve as a cornerstone for a fulfilling and community-oriented life. With the right planning, opportunities, and support, this goal can become a reality.
Join us for this informative workshop facilitated by Valued Lives, packed with practical insights, resources, and inspiring stories to help you explore and understand individualised living options.
Our speakers will share innovative and personalised approaches to creating homes for people with disability, while ensuring the necessary support is in place.
What You’ll Learn:
About the speakers
Karen Reid
Karen shares her deeply personal journey of creating a secure future for her daughter Caragh. A sudden medical emergency served as a wake-up call, prompting Karen to reflect on the question: “What happens if I’m no longer here?”
