Dear families, caregivers and Whānau        

Thank you to all the parents, siblings, family and whanau who are part of this ongoing support group.

Fiona from Empowerment Trust will discuss how we may empower our children, young people and adults with disabilities who area differently abled, and vulnerable. For parents and caregivers keeping them safe is always a big concern.

About Empowerment Trust

Empowerment Trust has provided People Safety programmes in NZ for the past 27 years.  The Fullpower Healthy Relationships is a programme developed with and for teens and adults with intellectual disabilities. It provides practical tools to build resiliency and to prevent bullying, violence and abuse. The programme covers all practical aspects of healthy relationships. It is full of resources as to where and how to get help.
