Nurturing Self is an interactive workshop created in collaboration with and for people with disability. It’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, share and discover simple ways to nurture yourself in life.
Throughout the workshop, we explore the ‘whole self’ through a series of interactive activities. We’ll explore ways to regulate the nervous system, lean into strengths, reframe challenges and find joy in everyday moments. We also emphasise the importance of fun, ‘collecting the good stuff’ and reminding ourselves that self-care can be simple and accessible.
The workshop is co-facilitated by Nicole and Adrian, educators and peer mentors, who bring you combined professional and lived experience.
Nicole’s life has been shaped by disability through her son acquiring a brain injury at birth in 2006. From her lived experience and professional practice, she has come to realise that nurturing self is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. Nicole’s facilitation draws on her professional practice in communication, mindset, emotional regulation and self-care to create safe and supportive spaces to learn and grow.
Adrian survived a stroke in 2006, resulting in physical disability and vision impairment. Since then, he has been empowering the disability sector for over 10 years. In the role of Lead Peer Facilitator and Mentor, Adrian combines his professional knowledge with lived experience to create meaningful connections and practical strategies to support people with disability to pursue their goals, build independence and grow their confidence.
Together, Nicole and Adrian offer an empowering workshop that is practical and affirming. Participants will leave with tools they can implement in their everyday life, feeling revitalised and with an increased sense of connectedness to themselves and others.
If we can’t answer your questions during the session, we can still provide individual peer mentoring to discuss things further, so feel free to contact us here or call 1800 688 831.
