Empowering Conference 2005

"Empowering Individuals and Families in the Human Services
Sydney, 17 June 2005
Y on the Park Conference Centre

This one day conference will explore an agenda of empowerment for individuals and families in the fields of disability, mental health, aged care, youth, schools, health care and family support.

By ‘empowerment’ we mean person-centred arrangements in social policy and service provision, as distinct from institution or agency-centred systems.

Our purpose is to explore what must be done – in communities, services, government departments, social institutions, and philanthropic foundations – to further an empowerment agenda. "
