Learning about the human experience through support work
Gellibrand support worker and administrative assistant Evan Nicefero learnt about disability from an early age – and he’s always willing to learn more.
Father’s Day Reflections
Though Father’s Day is a celebration for some people, it isn’t for everyone. For some, it’s a day that brings back memories of those fathers – and father figures – they may have lost, not had the relationship they may have wanted or indeed, for some, the grief of having wanted to be a dad, but this not being possible. Its a complex thing when some celebrate and others cannot. Gellibrand acknowledges this and hopes that, for each person, this Father’s Day will be spent in a way that works for them.
