Building Bettter Lives

Families, carers and support staff have lots of ideas about the kind of places where a person might find a welcome in their local area but they may lack the knowledge and skills to overcome the barriers that prevent people becoming part of their communities.

This practical and participative course will look at developing skills to help people work as ‘connectors’ or ‘bridge – builders’ to community life.

It will work with participants to develop a deeper understanding of the purpose and principles of person centred ways of working and will encourage them to see that building community is not an optional extra for people but an essential part of the work of supporting people to have good lives.
