About PPP
Positive Powerful Parents is a Self Advocacy Group run by and for Parents with Intellectual Disability.
Positive Powerful Parents started in 2012 by parent and Self Advocate Susan, with support of Reinforce Self Advocacy Group and SARU (Self Advocacy Resource Unit).
When Susan found out that she was not the only parent with intellectual disability to become involved with child protection & lose their child, she decided she wanted to make a change so families got to stay together.
Positive Powerful Parents began to raise awareness about the issues and discrimination parents with intellectual disability face when they are involved with the child protection system.
Positive Powerful Parents believe that parents with intellectual disability have their own unique way of parenting and with the right supports in place, most parents should be able to keep their children at home with them.
Positive Powerful Parents believe parents with intellectual disability have the right to access any supports they need.
Positive Powerful Parents also believe that when parents with intellectual disability become involved with child protection, they need to have plans put in place so they get the chance to be kept together.
Positive Powerful Parents want the Victorian Government to be committed to ending the discrimination of parents with intellectual disability.
