Being in Mitchell's life
Mitchell is seen as ‘a little different’ to many people and so does not have many friends in his life. His family are working to change that. They have put energy into building up the circle of friends around Mitchell to help support him – this is often called a circle of support.
You can read about support circles and a more formal microboard on Australia’s National Resource Centre for Circles of Support and Microboards↗. Bespoke Lifestyles – a NDIS service provider who helps us – has a blog post about starting a circle of support↗.
