This session is for unpaid mental health carers who want to enhance their skills and abilities to better support people with disability across their housing journey, using person-centred housing conversations.

What you’ll learn 

In this session, you will develop:

• practical skills and tools to support meaningful, person-centred housing conversations.

• confidence using the My Housing Options Toolkit and Guide to support individual housing journeys.

You will also learn skills to support people with disability to:

• talk about what matters to them most about housing

• identify their housing needs, preferences, and priorities

• set goals that reflect their life, supports, and aspirations

• take practical steps towards housing plans for now and the future.
