“Seeing your work and your scientific integrity made us feel secure and optimistic. We trusted you. You shared your experience with us and you guided us since the very beginning in creating the first Supported Living service in Greece. You were always by our side, hearing our concerns, understanding our fears and supporting us in finding solutions to the problems we faced.”
Petagma, 2022
We believe that everyone deserves a ‘good life’. The current systems rarely deliver that outcome, especially for those with complex or challenging reputations.
LivesthroughFriends brings together a group of very skilled and talented individuals and organisations, that have complementary knowledge, skills and networks. As a collective we have been delivering and sustaining great lives for people for over half a century.
We work with citizens, communities and services to achieve this by creating:
Real Citizenship
Building kindness, relationships and inclusion into people’s lives
Inclusive Communities
Rebalancing the relationship between Civil society, communities and public services
System Change
Helping commissioners to create a more supportive system
Clinical Competence
Addressing behaviours in a progressive way (in a low arousal way)
An exciting ‘Headspace’ opportunity for Policy Makers, Leaders and innovative Practitioners in Learning Disability and Autism Services in a diversity of jurisdictions to take time out to engage in some ‘out-of-the-box’ experiences, thinking and deliberation.
Following a successful collaboration delivering EASPD’s Deinstitutionalisation and Inclusion ‘Lighthouse’ in 2023, the Summer Institute is again organised and facilitated by LivesthroughFriends, Vanguard Consulting, The PLAN Institute, and hosted by The Butterfly Garden.
