16/06/2021 - Vanessa Papastavros and Teresa de Leon - Shifting Attitudes Towards Disability in our Diverse Communities
At the heart of living well is a universal need to be accepted, to belong and to feel personally fulfilled.
We recently interviewed sixteen people who live with a range of disabilities, as well as carers or front-line workers, from ethnic communities across New South Wales. We wanted to understand what living well with a disability means from a culturally diverse perspective. Those who participated in the survey were from Vietnamese, Chinese, Arabic, Indian, Filipino, Nepali, West African and East African backgrounds.
