  Join us in Collie for discussions about how we can ensure that those with disabilities are not left behind in times of disaster. 

  Disasters used to be ‘once in a lifetime’ events. But now there are more heat waves, intense storms, more flooding, and fire risk is changing. We don't know what crisis is coming, but we do know things are changing and there will be another big thing to deal with.

  For many, life is already pretty full on. Chronic health conditions and disability can complicate things in ways that are hard for others to see and understand.

  People who are disabled have told us of worry about being left behind during disasters, of having no accessible places to go and be safe, and that they are excluded from talks about planning for disasters.

  We want to hear from disabled community members about what is important and to share some of the things we have learnt from others.

  If you have specific access needs you wish us to know about, or require accommodations to attend, please call or text Jaime on 0406 722066.

  This is a part of CJU's First and Last Project:

  With the endorsement and support of community members and organisations CJU applied for funding from the Federal Government through Round 1 of their Disaster Ready Fund.

  The First and Last project will work with diverse community members across WA to:

  • understand their personal and collective risks to climate and disaster events; 
  • co-develop, test, evaluate, and implement tools and processes to help them prepare for disaster events, and to 
  • assist other people in their communities to do the same.

  This project acknowledges the funding contribution of the Commonwealth Government and support of the WA Department of Fire and Emergency Services. We also acknowledge the tireless work of Aboriginal Elders and many community members to ensure Country and communities are taken care of, without them, this work could not happen.

  In these cooler months, it's always worth collectively taking stock of all the feels...  the challenging, the joyful and everything in-between. And there's much to process: the much-needed rain on Noongar Country, global injustice and more. It's important that we do this in connection with each other to foster a sense of solidarity in our communities. 

  We invite you to join CJU members and friends in reflecting about our shared experiences.

  These sessions are facilitated by Linda Selvey and Jaime Yallup Farrant, who together share a wealth of experience in holding space for people to navigate complex feelings.
  
  Linda Selvey is a public health physician and has also been a climate and environmental activist for all of her adult life. She has just retired so that she can devote more of her time to activism. Linda has also been practicing re-evaluation counselling for more than 30 years. When she lived in Perth she led a monthly climate activist support group, and she has also led workshops for climate activists.
  
  Jaime is one of the founding members of CJU and has spent decades working with people to explore complex concerns whether in prisons, on the streets or in large corporations. With a background in group facilitation and a passion for justice Jaime brings a commitment to creating and holding space for people to connect and care.
  
  We intend for these sessions to provide you an opportunity to listen, reflect and if you feel comfortable, to share from your own experience. We hope you will join us in putting collective care into practice.
  
  It’s important to note that these sessions are not intended to replace any professional or personal support you may need or already have in place. Rather they are designed to complement existing resources and serve as an additional means of connection. We encourage participants to continue seeking guidance from mental health professionals, friends, family and other support networks as needed.

  By attending this event you are agreeing to uphold CJUs guiding principles and acknowledge that facilitators reserve the right to remove anyone who may compromise the safety of other attendees.
