Learning in and out

There are significant shortcomings in society regarding the target group of young people with NPF diagnoses/other functional variations, not least because those who make decisions on behalf of the target group do not always have relevant experience and knowledge of what it is like to live with a functional variation, primarily NPF. Often, the target group lacks networks, and as resources decrease, it becomes harder to receive support from society.

We want to offer a palette of lectures/study days for, for example, housing supporters, assistants, school/police, social workers, etc., to tell and, not least, show on-site what the right communication can do, thereby reducing dependency on support in the long run and learning to make decisions/take consequences. From experience, we know that with the right support, many can learn to communicate their needs themselves and thus experience increased inclusion in society. Being heard in front of a group of decision-makers makes a big difference.

We believe that more can develop similar activities if one takes to heart our experiences. We also want to inspire and show everything one can do despite – and sometimes because of – their diagnoses.
