‘Supporting people with disability to navigate relationships and sexuality options of their choosing’
This important workshop is being conducted by Alicia Melita from Frank Chats with Alicia. Alicia is an educator and counsellor, specialising in relationships and sexuality support for people with disability.
The role of a frontline worker includes providing assistance to people with disability so that they can engage in the same life experiences as other people. This includes providing support to gain knowledged about building and maintaining positive relationships and understanding options for exploring sexuality.
