14.01.2022 Leadership defined! Congratulations to our Nulsen Youth Patrons at Methodist Ladies' College, Hale School and All Saints' College WA who wowed program partners, business leaders and their parents at their respective public speaking boardroom luncheon events, holding courageous conversations and demonstrating the power of empathy, self-awareness and vulnerability. Here's a snippet of some of their inspiring words and reflections: Nulsen, Nulsen Group, Nulsen Youth Patrons, ha...d these words been said to me a year ago my likely response would have been a blank stare as my brain worked in overdrive to think about what they meant. Now I could tell you in a heartbeat they mean love, and love for not just our friends but for everyone in our community, they mean joy of a shared experience and they mean hope for the future. It is these words and their meanings that shaped my experience as a Nulsen Youth Patron. There is nowhere else that provides as enriched, quality care as Nulsen does and this marked the beginning of what it is today such a close-knit loving community. I feel honoured to have been a part of this program and to have done my part in bringing joy and love to the Nulsen community, all because of hope, a dream that what is good enough does not have to be enough and the persistence to make this dream a reality. Elizabeth, 15 years old.

14.01.2022 As We Are: Empowering Artists With Intellectual Disability is hosting a FREE bird making workshop with WA's premier dance company Co3 Australia.
