The Date-Ability Program
A 6-week educational program teaching NDIS participants about healthy and safe relationships.
Each week, the program has a different focus-
-Boundaries and consent
-Self-awareness and advocacy
-Interpersonal skills
-Staying safe online & scams
-Sexual health and wellbeing.
Date-Ability is run in a small group setting, by qualified counsellors, psychologists, and sexologists.
If a group setting is not suitable, Date-Ability can be provided 1:1.
The Date-Ability Project is now accepting referrals for the Cairns region and via telehealth.
