Disability and Mental Health Services
Over 5800 people with lived experience of disability or mental illness chose our support services this year. Our services focused on each person’s specific needs, choices, goals and independence. This year, we concentrated on collaborating with the people we support to understand how best we meet their needs. We have made great progress over the year, including:
- Rolling out our “lighthouse program” an Active Support pilot, across our disability and mental health services to maximise people’s ability to participate in their own lives.
- Co-designing the “My Rights: nothing about me, without me” rights statement with people with disability, which articulates their expectations in experiencing their fundamental human rights.
- Strengthening our commitment to co-design that includes a lived experience led approach and service level strategy, like the RELATE mental health framework, which was co-designed with people we support.
- Strengthening our collaborations with families and supporters through more engagement, responding to feedback and more collaboration with family and supporter groups.
