Spotlight on Helen Connolly – Excellence in Support Work
Helen Connolly is the Manager of Special Projects at ACT Disability, Aged and Carer Service (ADACAS). Her team works alongside disability advocacy groups to inform people on how they can take control of decisions integral to their lives.
Helen has helped pioneer the Supported Decision Making model, which has helped to place people with disability and other vulnerable people at the centre of the decisions which impact their daily lives. Her work at ADACAS is just one of many accomplishments in supporting the community. She has had a direct impact on the lives of many who have benefited from her empowerment to take more control over their choices.
For more information on this work, see Advocacy, Information and Peer Support and Supported Decision Making Project.
