Chinese parents support service trust is embarking a journey to ask the Chinese community to Think Differently about
disability.
“The unlimited love” is the title of the campaign to change attitudes and behaviour that limit opportunities for
disabled Chinese people in Auckland. The campaign is funded through the Ministry of Social Development, Social Campaigns
Team Family and Community Services.
The campaign will utilise Chinese media, such as Chinese Voice Radio AM936, Skykiwi and Chinese Herald to introduce a
series of local and national disability services. These include, Autism NZ Inc, Blind Foundation, Deaf Radio,
Circability, Elevate Christian Disability Trust, Mental Health Foundation’s Kai Xin Xing Dong project, Independent
Living Services and many more. Beside that, Philip Patston and Dr. Huhana Hickey also shared their inspiration about
their work in the disability sector.
Eva the CEO of CPSST hopes by introducing disability services Chinese people can gain an understanding of the services
available for them. “ We hope more dialogue among Chinese community about disability by introducing the disability
services”.
According to The New Zealand Disability Strategy One in five people, in New Zealand report having a long-term
impairment. This can be born, incidents, health issues or require later in life.
