CONFERENCE
|
|
Empowering Individuals and Families in the
Human Services
|
Adelaide, 3 August 2005
Balyana Conference Centre
Clapham (9.30am - 4.30pm)
|

This one day conference will explore an agenda of
empowerment for individuals and families in the fields of disability, mental health, aged care, youth, schools,
health care and family support.
By ‘empowerment’ we mean person-centred arrangements in social policy and service
provision, as
distinct from institution or agency-centred systems.
Our
purpose is to explore what must be done – in communities,
services,
government departments, social
institutions, and philanthropic foundations – to further an
empowerment agenda.
