Craft environments that increase the likelihood of friendships

Are you struggling to help your family member with a disability to form friendships with their non disabled peers? It's a painful experience seeing them struggle isn't it.

We know that friendships are key for a good life.  They bring us joy, a sense of belonging, can help us out in a crisis and bring us more good life opportunities.  So as parents, we really, really, really want our family member with a disability to have friends in their lives don't we.

Friendships are indeed mystical and magical things that you can't force to happen.  But there are things you (and support workers) can do to create environments where they are more likely to form.

There are also things that we (and support workers) can inadvertently do that can interfere with friendships forming too.

In this project you will be supported to apply strategies to increase the likelihood of your family member being able to form friendships with people without disability.

In this training your will discover......

  • Bust some myths about the possibilities of friendships
  • Check in with your own beliefs about friendships to make sure they are not holding you back
  • ​Redefine what friendship looks like so you don't miss opportunities to develop relationships
  • ​Identify potential current friends so that you can start nurturing them
  • Understand the value of having a framework to follow so that you can be methodical and targeted in your approach and avoid trial and error
  • ​Discover in detail the interests your family member has that they could share with others in the community
  • ​Discover the abundance of potential places in your community your family member can share these interests and identify the adaptions required to optimise success
  • ​Harness the connections of key people to act as bridges to these places in the community and develop ways of having conversations with the people in these places to deepen connection
  • ​Learn to develop the role and presence your family member has so that they are visible to others and valued for their contribution 
  • Understanding why supports are not friends so they can be motivated to help build friendships
  • ​Knowing how to introduce their role so that others are encouraged to step into getting to know the person with a disability
  • Understand techniques to facilitate conversation so that they can encourage building relationships
  • ​Being aware of how they can help others to get to know the person they are supporting so they can feel more confident to interact with the person they support
  • Knowing when to step back and fade support so that others can learn to interact with and support the person
  • ​Being aware of the things that supports can do that discourage others from forming friendships so they can avoid them

DISCLAIMER: Please understand my results are not typical, I’m not implying you’ll duplicate them (or do anything for that matter). I have the benefit of recruiting and leading a team of supports for over 5 years as well as 15 years working in government. The average person who buys any “how to” information gets little to no results. Your results will vary and depend on many factors …including but not limited to your background, experience, and work ethic. All recruitment activities entail risk as well as massive and consistent effort and action. If you're not willing to accept that, please DO NOT register for this training.
