19.01.2022 Today marks the 2020 International Day for Persons with Disabilities. FarrisCare, an NDIS-registered provider works towards a more inclusive and diverse communal and individual-oriented growth, empowering people facing all kinds of disabilities and challenges. For this reason, FarrisCare invites you to join hands and make others aware of the difficulties a human being, and subsequently a community can come to face due to a perfectly capable yet differently enabled populous le...ft completely out of the picture. In regards to this, let's read up a little on disabilities and the people who face them: One in five Australians face a disability. In 2006, the UN initiated the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, a document stating the universal rights of people facing disabilities to include empowerment and integration for the progressive development of the individual and the community in all walks of life and work. 40% (6.8 million) Australians face disabilities currently. Almost 80% of disability facing people are either restricted by state-laws or by family & friends from committing regular tasks in life, out of the general risk involved with their condition. People face greater disabilities without proper care or treatment and obviously with the onset of age. Moreover, in a tribute to the commitment and dedication of the disability-service workers, let's read up on a few developments in the disability-care arena: Studies have shown, that over the past decade, an increased number of children facing disability have started attending school. Now the population of disability-facing Australian children in school is 89%. The NDIA and NDIS has made efforts to ensure that if a person facing a disability needs sponsorship for accommodation, they and their condition(s) are taking into consideration when providing support. Starting at 18 years of average life expectancy for an Australian born with down syndrome, in 2009, the age was found to have risen up to 60, based on the awareness campaigns which made the public aware of how to interact with such members of society. In memory of all the members of society who work towards inclusion and diversity, empowering each other and moving society forward, and in tribute to the stories of the people who face disabilities, join hands in raising awareness. For more information on how FarrisCare can help someone facing disabilities, get in touch or come to our new location to talk further.

06.01.2022 A third of December gone by, FarrisCare wants to invite you to join hands in celebrating World Human Rights Day. This day marks the 1948 UN adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a document which makes human rights inalienable rights universally. This document outlines the basic understanding that human rights are not subject to race, religion, political opinion or region amongst many other criterion. Australia was one of the 8 membering countries who were inv...olved with the drafts of the UDHR. "Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home -- so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world." -- Eleanor Roosevelt

03.01.2022 Join FarrisCare in commemorating Self Harm Awareness Day, in remembrence of the emotional, psychological and often social pressures which lead people to harming themselves. In a survey spanning 40 countries, the following facts relating to self-injury came to light: On average, 17% of the people have or will commit self-harm in their life.... On average, the first time a person indulges in self harm, it is around the age of 13. Only 50% of people who indulge in prolonged harm, will reach out to a friend or family for help, very rarely, if ever, a professional. The self-harm cycle constitutes: Sham or Grief leading to Emotional sufferage leading to Emotional overload leading to Panic leading to Self harm which leads to a temporary relief from the other "kind" of pain. Common Myths Surrounding Self Harm: Myth: "People harm themselves in order to get attention from their peers" Fact: The custom and isolated nature of one's problem demotivates an individual from reaching out to others for help. This and the fact that self harm can be targeted at body parts which stay covered in clothing in mundane routine are factors which prove otherwise. Myth: "Self harm is a feminine/youth trait" Fact: While a majority of self harm is reported in teenagers ,there is no concrete evidence of self harm being a gender, age-group or even race-specific issue. Myth: "Self-harmers must enjoy it" Fact: Studies have concluded that emotional depletion due to grief can lead to people wanting to feel alive again, physical pain being the only thing they cannot ignore. Where this allows such people to feel alive again, that doesn't necessarily translate into a pleasurable experience. Further clinical evidence has shown that people can develop a different perception of the feeling of pain, even describing it as reminder in the form of punishment.
