Family Leadership

Families have been the leaders and shapers of CLP’s values, service models and decision making since 1984. A vital focus of CLP is supporting families to develop their leadership skills and to increase their understanding of how to bring about positive change in the life of their family member with disability.

Leadership often arises because a person with disability, family, their allies or ordinary citizens see a need or step up because they have a vision of something better.
