Words 2 ActionHow it Works
Words 2 Action is a practical, free self-advocacy coaching program for anyone with a disability, and families and carers, to learn how to better deal with, and get through the hoops and hurdles of the systems that are there to support you. Whether that’s dealing with the NDIS, your carers, where you live, your job, your doctor, or even family and friends, it can sometimes be hard to have your say, and have people really hear what it is that you want.
The program consists of an introductory workshop and one-one-one coaching sessions provided by our friendly disability advocacy experts. After attending a workshop, participants can engage in coaching, which will help you develop a plan to deal with a real-life problem you may be facing and want to solve.
