My Home – Your Job
Imagine that your home was someone else's workplace! When these two domains cross over, as they do for thousands of kiwi's everyday, a whole raft of unexpected and of often undesirable realities are born. This event has been created to aid in our understanding of how we are able to serve a person while not violating the sanctity of their home.
It may seem so simple but if you are the person who's home is being over run, how to get autonomy back is usually anything but simple.

About the Workshop
This workshop invites us to understand the experiences of people with disabilities as society sees and treats them.
It offers the opportunity to better understand the impact on a person’s home as a workplace, and how staff can work in ‘power-with relationships’ with individuals and families. There will be strategies for moving forward including consciousness of our mindsets and enabling people to be in valued roles related to home life.
Participants will:
- become more aware of what ‘home’ means and the importance of adding to, not taking away from, people’s home
- understand the power of social devaluation and its impacts
- clarify the purpose of a worker in someone’s home
- identify roles typically connected to home life,
- community presence and community participation
- identify the power in the relationship between worker and person, and ways of working in ‘power-with’ ways
