CEO Mike Paton recently stated; "DISCO understands the importance of ensuring anyone who connects to our organisation is aware that we are operating under a DISCO Management Committee approved Coronavirus Risk Management Plan. We want to take all possible steps to ensure our operating environments are as safe as possible and to this... end the organisation has invested in training, marketing and resources to enable our team members to be appropriately prepared and equipped so that all visitors to our sites can feel confident that we are doing everything possible to keep them safe. All that we ask is that clients and visitors to our sites follow the directions of our staff around key areas including social distancing, temperature checks and hand sanitisation. By doing this we lower the risk of transmission and maximise our ability to continue to support young people across South West Queensland" Mr Paton said.

Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before they're in crisis.
