Life Issues

This section explores the vast canvas we call life.  We often describe our lives in terms of what we do, what we have, where we live, what we know, where we have been, where we are going, who we know, and all the other things that we do in our daily lives.

In our lives there are things we seek, want, and need; things that will help us to live a rich and meaningful life.  It can be good to discuss these things with people in similar situations.

The QuickGuide ideas in this section are designed to help start a conversation in your peer network about life issues such as employment, housing, etc.

The index to the left shows the current range of topics.  Click on each one to read/download a QuickGuide. Some index items include links to video clips.

We expect the range and number of topics to grow. 

E-mail us if there are other topics you would like to see here, or if you would like to write a QuickGuide to go here.

JFA Purple Orange was the National Support Agency for the Disability Support Organisation (DSO) Capacity Building Initiative.

Peer Connect acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as First Australians and recognises their culture, history, diversity and their deep connection to the land. We recognise the distinct rights and perspectives of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.  We also acknowledge that JFA Purple Orange is on the land of the Kaurna People and we pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
