Navigating the disability support system in Aotearoa can feel like a full-time job. There's a lot to understand, things keep changing, and the stakes are high, because this is about the support that shapes your daily life, or the life of someone you love.
The series is made up of three standalone workshops. You can come to all three, or just the one that's most relevant to you right now.
Each session runs for one hour, with a presentation until about 40 minutes in, then open discussion and questions for the rest of the time. Sessions are offered twice, 10am and 6pm, so you can choose the time that suits you.
