Last month, CPSN participated in VALID’s ‘Having A Say’ conference in Geelong. CPSN’s Marketing officer Josh interviewed CPSN client Michelle and her support worker, Cindy about life transitions.

Michelle and Cindy reflected on Michelle’s journey following an acquired brain injury nearly 20 years ago, from being told she would remain in a vegetative state to rebuilding a meaningful life in the community.

Today, Michelle lives independently in her own home, runs an arts business with her sister, and is a public speaker. They shared the often unseen work behind this independence, including skill-building over time, thoughtful prompting, and designing supports that truly fit the person.

It was a powerful discussion capturing dignity, courage and great support in practice. For the CPSN team, it is a genuine privilege to support Michelle with flexible supports that align with her goals as her life evolves.

March 16 - 20th marked Neurodiversity Celebration Week.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week raises global awareness about the importance of acceptance, equality, and inclusion for neurodivergent people in schools, workplaces, and communities.

Neurodiversity is a broad term that recognises the natural variations in how people’s brains develop and function. It describes the different ways individuals process information, communicate, and experience the world.

These differences can include, but are not limited to:�
• ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)�
• ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)�
• Dyscalculia�
• Dyslexia�
• Dyspraxia�
• Dysgraphia�
• Tourette Syndrome

Too often, these traits are viewed through a negative lens. Instead, it’s important to recognise the many strengths commonly associated with neurodivergent thinking, such as:

• Strong focus and task completion�
• Contribution to team and workplace diversity�
• High attention to detail and enjoyment of repetitive or structured tasks�
• Creativity, innovation, and strong problem‑solving skills�
• Loyalty to employers and lower staff turnover

Our Mental Health First Aid Trainers Anna and Sharon (seated) kicked off this year’s training schedule with another enthusiastic group of CPSN employees, including our Service Delivery Manager, Brian Vanega (pictured far left, standing).

The two‑day course at Kensington Town Hall was enjoyed by all. At CPSN, we provide FREE compulsory Mental Health First Aid Training to all staff and support workers.

Those who have completed the course tell us how invaluable it is, giving them the knowledge and confidence to recognise any early warning signs and use early intervention mental health strategies when someone they support may be experiencing mental health challenges.

Empowering our team means empowering our community.

Over the summer holidays we found some interesting, thought‑provoking, discussion‑worthy reading and viewing material. You might like to suggest these to your local book club, documentary watchlist, or add to your own ‘must read’ list for this year.

We have compiled a list of inclusive book titles.

Have you ever wondered what sort of things the NDIS won’t cover in your plan?

We thought we’d try to simplify some things that might not always be clear, or you’ve been too afraid to ask about. Remember to always ask your Local Area Coordinator (LAC) or Support Coordinator for advice before adding these to your plan.
