enDescription
Disability within the Chinese community can be associated with cultural taboos including stigma and a lack of understanding can isolate both carers and the cared for. There is reluctance to access services due to a lack of knowledge about what is available from key providers. This results in extra burden being placed on carers and families without adequate respite or additional support from organisations. The storytelling competition provided an avenue for those with a disability or a caring role to share their own personal experiences.Collections
