Disability Employment Awareness Month is a reminder of how important it is to embrace inclusivity in our workplaces. It shines a light on the incredible strength of employees with disabilities, who navigate daily challenges while making meaningful contributions. Just because the odds may be against someone or they need to adjust their approach doesn’t make them any less capable; in fact, it reveals their remarkable creativity and determination. When we recognize their talents and celebrate their resilience, we create a more accepting environment where everyone can shine and feel valued. Together we can spread awareness and change the stigma!

🛠️ National Disability Employment Awareness Month helps dismantle barriers and build opportunities by advocating for a future where all abilities are valued! Learn more about how our Employment Services team supports individuals as they navigate job market challenges here: https://bit.ly/3TThAHI

We cannot say we promote recovery if we do not promote inclusive hiring and and access to supported employment for people with behavioral health conditions. Yet this is often the last thing practitioners think of and only when they feel people are “ready”. We need to end paternalism and ableism, and promote true shared decision making in care and community inclusion. This starts with higher education and field experience. Our behavioral health field must evolve if we want to see sustainable outcomes. #ipsworks #supportedemployment #recoveryisreal

🌟 Embrace the future of disability policy in Australia! With a decade in the industry, we know its complexities. A new National Disability Strategy post-2024 is key. Reflect on past wins and areas for improvement. An independent review a decade ago highlighted progress and implementation gaps. Let's use this as a starting point for better policies. Draw strength from past and present leaders. Australia's commitment to supporting the disabled and marginalised shines globally. Let's work together for a brighter, inclusive future. #DisabilityPolicy #Australia 🌟
