Family Governance
As a group of families, FAST has involved the brothers and sisters of our loved ones with a structured programme over a weekend in a retreat resort.
We developed a record for each disabled family member with information that would benefit people helping them.
​
We are now working on the 50 year plan to ensure they continue to live a good life even after we are no longer here.
​
For some years, Lawrence worked with groups of families throughout Aotearoa/New Zealand. He walked them through the processes of establishing a vision for a personally meaningful future for their disabled family members, identifying the things that would make a “good life” for them.
​
He advised on support funding and ways to develop a relationships with support agencies, how to manage
individualised funding, support people living in their own home, and on legal and financial structures such as trusts, guardianship and wills.
​
He acted as a guide in setting up infrastructure for the time when parents are no longer available for their loved ones: succession plans, records, and coordination roles for on-going support.
