I'm deeply concerned about the recent NDIS decision to reduce art therapy funding by 60%. This drastic cut, based on the claim that art therapy is "not evidence-based," disregards the wealth of research demonstrating its effectiveness for people with disabilities. Art therapy provides a unique and vital means of expression, communication, and healing. I personally have worked with nonverbal individuals with disability and chronic life limiting conditions for over 10 years and have witnessed firsthand the impact of art therapy interventions where “talk” therapy failed. I urge the NDIS to reconsider this decision and prioritize the needs of participants who benefit significantly from art therapy.

Took 50 years to admit it was not an accident. A story of lies, coverups and evasion of responsibility at the NHS. It's what happens when not enough people stand up for truth. And what a few that do can achieve. A story to tell learners in healthcare simulation and life skills labs. #healthcare #patientsafety #healthcaresimulation
