Shared Lives – My Life, Your Life, Our Life – Easy Read

Shared Living is a way to:

• connect with people
• support each other
• share your lives.

Everyone has different needs.

Your Shared Living arrangements need to work in a way that suits you.

You might live with:

• one person
• a couple
• a family.

Shared Living is good for everyone, including:

• the people who want support
• the people offering support.

Shared Living can give you and your supporter:

• new opportunities
• new experiences.

Everyone needs to understand what is needed to make a Shared Living arrangement work.

Everyone needs to build trust and a strong relationship with each other.

What Shared Living is not

Shared Living is not:

• a hostel or group service

• a place where paid support workers come and go according to a work roster

• a group home for people with disability and carers who live there.
