CRU creates videos that tell stories and share insights that can further inspire the community living movement and the broader disability sector at large. These videos assist people to share their stories, ideas and wisdom, whether that be as part of a presentation they are doing, or for the broader public.
Most of our films are made in house and where appropriate these videos are showcased on our YouTube channel. We also work in partnership with other organisations to create films that showcase the valued perspectives of our community and many of these can be seen in the collections below.
CRU has re-released our Video on Demand Collections so that they are now free to access!
Series One: Responding Well to Challenging Behaviours These three on-demand videos provide practical insights and tools, so that people can be supported with compassion, collaboration and respect. They are a useful resource for families, friends and paid supporters and can also be used for training and development.
Series Two: Sensory-movement Differences and Diversity This series of two webinar recordings provides practical insights and tools so that people with autism and other sensory and movement differences can be better supported to live more independently.
The Inclusion – Our Stories video series comes directly from CRU’s community members living in rural and remote Queensland. Daisy, Dan, Steve and Violet share their stories of inclusion and belonging. Watch their individual stories above!
CRU has released four short videos in which Milton Tyree responds to questions relating to Customised Employment. The focus of this series is on how families & support workers can best support a person with disability to gain meaningful employment via a customised employment approach. Visit Phases of Customised Employment to find out more.
About Together in Partnership: Stories of individual and family governed organisations in Queensland (2013)
Together in Partnership was created by the Community Resource Unit in 2013. It features three Queensland organisations, Lifestyle Options Incorporated, Homes West Association and Kalpana.
In these organisations the authority and governance is held either by people with disability themselves, in conjunction with their supporters, or through their family members. These short films describe their history over the past two decades and, through personal stories, how these governance structures have enabled people to live in their own homes in communities of their choice.
