The workshop “Building Perspectives” focused on key topics related to disability, perspectives, and support work. The discussions included the concept of disability, different models of disability, disability rights, and ableism. Participants also explored the distinctions between support workers and carers, defining what makes a great support worker. Emotional intelligence in the field was discussed, along with the best aspects of being a great support worker and the challenges both clients and support workers face.
Throughout the session, attendees shared their personal perspectives, opinions, and previous experiences, creating an interactive and reflective environment.
