Person DirectedServices and supports are directed by disabled people, their families and whanau.
This strategy is all of ours
In 2023 and 2024 we engaged our community with our Future Focus sessions. People we support, their families and whanau, and staff were invited to one of many sessions to discuss their experiences, wants, dislikes and needs in independently facilitated sessions.
We looked at our purpose, our services, how we work, and our culture and community. Questions included what we could do better and what we do well.
This strategy draws from the output of those sessions. It reflects the priorities and concerns of the people in our communities.
Vision: Disabled people thriving in the community
This has been our goal since we were formed in 1989. It means putting power in the hands of people to live the life they choose in their communities. We do this by partnering with disabled people, their families and whanau and advocating for people to direct their own lives.
We call this Nou te Mana – “the power is within you”
