Support for living would save lives from despair

October 22, 2010.

On Monday, 150 families of people with a disability will sit down with candidates for next year's NSW election to demand the Minister for Disability Services and the opposition spokesman adopt a plan to reduce the likelihood of family breakdown.

These families believe the crisis-driven allocation of accommodation for people with a disability increases their stress because it reduces their capacity to plan.

They want the state government to implement a preventive approach, widely used overseas, to allow adults with a disability to move into their own homes while their families still have the capacity to support such a transition. A proposed supported living fund would help families develop informal support among family and friends, complemented by paid support from the fund.
