How can we work with chronically ill people? With Laura Sophie Helbig Saturday 11th November, 2.15pm - 3.45pm Sheffield and online. All online links will be sent half an hour before the start time Book now How to be inclusive for people with chronic illnesses can be a challenge. How do you communicate? How do you adapt your schedules to fit partially unpredictable illnesses and how do you best understand everyones needs? Inclusion needs to focus on everybody and if we take a closer look at it, maybe needs aren’t even that special, because we all have them, even though they might differ from person to person. In this workshop I’d like to share my thoughts on working inclusively based on experience and from further reading. But even more so, I’d like to immediately implement some tools during the workshop itself, and there will be a big part in which we all work together to brainstorm challenges, discuss solutions and hopefully we'll all leave the room, with lots of ideas that are easy to implement.
