Talking about healthy relationships is important, but is not always easy. This workshop will focus on the unique needs/challenges that caregivers have supporting someone with a disability in establishing healthy relationships (romantic and platonic). This workshop will educate providers on better understanding their role in facilitating these relationships. Learn about your role as a guardian vs natural human rights. As parents, guardians, siblings, friends, and family members, it is crucial to help support such a vulnerable population to live full and healthy lives. Connect with other caregivers who are experiencing simliar difficulties and share your successes.
People with disabilities need health care and health programs for the same reasons anyone else does—to stay well, active, and a part of the community.
