We’re excited to share that new dates are now available for our Family Compass: Guiding Care and Connection Workshop Series—a free 3-part interactive virtual series designed to empower families and caregivers.
With cohorts running until December 2026, this series will provide practical guidance and support, helping you envision what’s possible as you take actionable steps toward creating a secure and supported life with and for your family member with a disability.
Each workshop is divided into three weekly, 2-hour sessions:
Session 1: Crafting a Future Vision
This session will help you clarify your vision and values, imagine a “good ordinary day”, and draft your first vision statement. We’ll help you translate your vision into concrete goals for home, relationships, and supports, strengthen and sustain the plan, while mapping out allies and resources.
Session 2: Discovering Purpose and Valued Roles
In this session, we’ll explore what gives your family member meaning and purpose. We’ll identify their unique gifts, interests, and strengths, and identify opportunities where they can contribute, belong, and be known for who they are.
Session 3: Building Relationships and Creating Connections
This final session will wrap up by helping you strengthen the relationships and networks that bring your vision to life. We’ll explore how you can build circles of support and cultivate a community where your family member is truly known, valued, and included.
