13 young ppl died in the Kimberley without a mental health assessment.
That’s what broke me & made me fund an Indigenous psychology scholarship program.
We now have 6 from the Kimberley and 41 nationally.
Alice Springs is NEXT!!
& all without one cent of Fed Govt Funding.
We are doing the work of giants.
Because of you; the public.
Keep donating folks it’s tax deductible and 100% of public donations go directly to our scholarships.
I work for no wage to ensure that!

Dude online posting that ‘all the people criticising Ben Roberts-Smith are just armchair critics who don’t know what war is like’ despite all the evidence and testimony against Ben R-S comes from other SAS soldiers who thought he was a monster
We funded @Deakin, Rainbow Rights and Advocacy, @InclusionMelb and @RainbowHVic to hear from LGBTQ people with intellectual disability about what people can do to help them to feel good about themselves. Find out more at ndrp.org.au/project-sayingwh…
When you force a disabled and/or chronically ill person to repeatedly reassert their boundaries, reexplain their limitations, remind you of their humanity, you’re not only causing major distress, you’re robbing them of their very limited energy and demanding they spend it on you.
Saturation as a marker of #qualitative quality is overrated. However, if that's your goal, this systematic review is your friend.
It concludes that, given the right analytic practices, 9-17 interviews or 4-8 focus groups can lead to saturation. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
"The file" does an incredible disservice to many people with intellectual disabilities.
Imagine if you had a file. What would it say about you? What if it recorded some of your worst moments or decisions? Would you want people to read it before they meet you?
ALT ID: Text reads: This is Jim. Jim does not have a disability (drawing of Jim). Jim got angry and threw a cup against a wall and you'll never know it.
Second half of text reads: This is Mike. Mike has an intellectual disability (drawing of Mike). Mike got angry and threw a cup against a wall and it will be in his file for the rest of his f-ing life, and everyone who supports him will read about it.
Good evening, gang!
I have once again compiled a thread of little bits from 2022 that I found funny, heartwarming, inspiring or just plain silly. It can be tough out there so sit back, relax and hopefully something in this thread might make you smile!
Let’s go! 💕
