WORKSHOPS
At SACID we think that it is really important that people with intellectual disability and their families have access to information.
OUR WORKSHOPS
When you have information you can make good choices about your life.
One way that SACID helps people to get information is by running free capacity building workshops.
We run workshops for:
- People with intellectual disability
- Family members and carers of people with intellectual disability
- General members of the community and businesses
SACID workshops are co-facilitated by our staff with intellectual disability.
Our workshops for people with intellectual disability and family members / caregivers are run for free.
Want us to come to your group to run a workshop?
 If you have a group of people interested in our workshops we can come to you. Check out our workshop availability information below for all you need to know about booking a workshop with us.Â
