Enabling Good Lives 101
Beginning in 2024, My Life My Voice will be running a new series of community-based forums called Enabling Good Lives 101.
These forums will be held across six regions and will explore the Enabling Goods Lives approach and how it can impact your life. This forum is for people who are familiar with and know nothing about Enabling Good Lives but interested in learning more.
Where did Enabling Good Lives 101 come from?
My Life My Voice is part of the Community Capability Development Services Initiative (CCDS). This is an initiative funded by Whaikaha to promote the Enabling Good Lives vision and share its eight principles and approach to more regions across Aotearoa.
This initiative focuses on our community, the disabled community. This includes:
Disabled people/Tāngata Whaikaha Māori
Family/whānau of disabled people
Disability service providers
Disability support workers
All members of the disability community are invited to attend our Enabling Good Lives 101 forums.
Where will the forums be held?
Our Enabling Good Lives 101 forums will be held in person in various locations around Aotearoa or via Zoom. Currently we are only scheduled to hold forums for Gisborne, Nelson, Invercargill, Auckland’s North Shore, as well as East and South Auckland.
Locations and addresses are included below and will also be announced via social media.
