QDN has a strong and established group of peer leaders with diverse disability and we provide opportunities for people to develop their leadership skills and mentoring.
The leaders have been working as facilitators, and also as mentors and supports for others. They help others in their leadership journey.
This is another powerful way we live our motto – ‘Nothing about us without us’.
Despite current ads and slogans, the world doesn’t change one person at a time. It changes as networks of relationships form among people who discover they share a common cause and vision of what’s possible. This is good news for those of us intent on changing the world and creating a positive future. Rather than worry about critical mass, our work is to foster critical connections. We don’t need to convince large numbers of people to change; instead, we need to connect with kindred spirits. Through these relationships, we will develop the new knowledge, practices, courage, and commitment that lead to broad-based change.
The information hub, just for QDN peer leaders, is where you will find useful information and videos.
You will need a password to enter the hub. If you are a peer leader and do not have a password please get in touch with QDN on 1300 363 783.
“The best thing about advocacy is that your disability is heard; we are able to celebrate the life that we have with a disability.”
