Thriving in My Community [webcast]

WHEN: June 23, 2026 at 7pm

When we think of a good life, most of us want a reason to get up in the morning, to have some control over our day, and to do something we feel we can grow our skills in—all with other people who we care about and who care about us.

Join us on Tuesday, June 23rd at 7:00 pm EDT for our NEW webcast, Thriving in My Community, as we hear directly from people living full lives as valued members of their communities. Whether that be in their workplace, school, or creative interests, our guests and their families are defining what a good life means for them and finding places where their contributions matter.

In this webcast, we’ll explore the principles that guide a good life, focusing on interests, talents, and passions. You will leave with actionable ideas and a greater sense of what is possible in your community.

What’s in it for you:

Learn from the personal journeys of people with disabilities who are thriving in their communities, pursuing education, creative expression, and employment.
Gain a parent’s perspective on staying positive, trusting the possibilities, and advocating for your child from a young age.
Begin exploring how our roles and responsibilities are pathways to connection and relationship-building.
Discover practical everyday steps people with disabilities and families can take to build roots in your community.
