Questions You Might Have 

WHO WE ARE

This is SWAA

SWAA exists because support work matters, and the people who do it deserve better.

For too long, support workers have been undervalued, underpaid, and under-resourced. We're a team of industry veterans, advocates, and support workers who are tired of waiting for change, so we're creating it.

When support workers thrive, everyone benefits—especially the people they support. That's why we're shaking up the future of this essential industry, one empowered support worker at a time.

Here's What Our Members Say About Us... 

Nic - Member

SWAA is the gap in training that support workers need! Within my years of support work, I’ve noticed personal development is often under looked among workers as the current information out there is often presented in ways that is difficult to retain and within messy websites. SWAA offers an abundance of information through a simple website navigation which includes brief and detailed training modules as well as downloadable files which are easy to access through your phone (perfect for my short attention span and forgetful brain).

I was amazed to see you’re able to book 2x 1:1 mentoring times with its founder, Carly, as well! An invaluable opportunity especially for newcomers to the industry who can use that time to speak to an expert on any topic in the field that may be overwhelming. The fact that more information is being added weekly, makes SWAA my one stop shop for continued PD in the disability support space. Can’t wait to see what’s to come!
