BRINGING THE GOOD LIFE TO LIFE

This website can be found at: The Good Life CRU   

CRU has created a website to explore what makes a Good Life and some of the things that can be done to create and sustain this for a person with disability.  CRU has gathered some great content that already exists on this topic and created some new resources that highlight key ideas and share the wisdom of others.  By following the links you can see where the resources have come from and continue your own research.  As well as resources from around the world CRU has highlighted local resources that are relevant to the Australian and Queensland context.  There is a mix of familiar concepts, old favourites and new resources that will be of interest to everyone that CRU is connected with.
