Our Senior Behaviour Support Practitioner Avril attended a special World Social Work Day event in the city this morning to recognise and celebrate the impact social workers make in our community.

Hosted by the SA Branch of the Australian Association of Social Workers, guests enjoyed networking over a breakfast, while hearing from several guest speakers including Katrine Hildyard MP (pictured with Avril).

The theme for this year's World Social Work Day is ‘Co-Building Hope and Harmony: A Harambee Call to Unite a Divided Society’, which highlights the vital role of social work in bringing people together across communities, cultures and systems to shape a more inclusive and sustainable tomorrow.

On Wednesday, Jessica and Avril from our team attended a NDIS business networking event - Psychosocial Pathways, which explored best practice for psychosocial NDIS participants and people impacted by mental health challenges.

The event built a solid understanding of client needs, with insights from industry experts and lived experience workers.

It also highlighted the importance of quality psychosocial practice, state-wide mental health investment and stronger collaboration across services. Overall it was a great event for some of our Elcies leaders 😊

We had a lot of fun at the Source Disability Expo last weekend at the Adelaide Convention Centre 😊

Members from our Better Self Speech Pathology team and colleagues at Elcies Positive Behaviour Support enjoyed meeting families over the weekend and speaking with them about the services offered at Lutheran Care.

It was also a great opportunity to see what other services and supports are out there in the community. Thanks to everyone that dropped by!

Thank you so much to K for leaving this excellent review for Elcies' Positive Behaviour Support service on Google. We love to hear that our team is making such a positive difference to families.

"I am so grateful for the support we have received for our child with complex needs from Jessica and Sarah in the Behaviour Support Team at Elcies. Their work is thorough, thoughtful, and clearly grounded in best-practice approaches. Other professionals involved in our child's care have commented positively on the quality of their work, which speaks volumes.

"Communication has been excellent, and they consistently demonstrate empathy, patience, and a genuine willingness to listen and help wherever possible. We have felt well supported throughout, and I would highly recommend this organisation."

"The more we can break down the perception that people with disabilities need to be fixed, the more we can move forward as a society." - Santiago Velasquez

"Do you know what I like to say? Different isn't less. Different is necessary.” - Ronan Soussa

Today is International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD).

In this video, the IDPwD 2025 Ambassadors discuss their big questions on how we can build a more inclusive society. We think it's essential viewing.

Let's continue to listen to and learn from people with disabilities and move toward a richer society where people with disabilities can experience seamless inclusion in every level of community life.
