CRU is coming to Cairns in June to deliver a workshop to assist families of people with disability to be co-designers!

Co-design gives people with lived experience of disability the opportunity to be part of shaping an inclusive future. 🧩

πŸ—¨ What people are saying about this workshop:
"The sessions were fantastic, clear with easy-to-understand information. As a person yet to engage in co-design, the information shared in the topics around Principles of Co-Design; Levels of Engagement and Influence and the reflective activities around assertive communication were helpful."
