David Pitonyak “The Importance of Belonging” October 11th, Vancouver
August 30, 2012
Being connected to the people we love is critical to our emotional and physical well-being. Many people experiencing our services are sick from loneliness. This workshop is about ideas for moving beyond interventions and coverage to a system that supports enduring, freely chosen relationships. The workshop can be conducted in either a one-day or two-day format (the latter involves problem-solving with teams).
Objectives
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will have developed knowledge in the following areas:
- The impact of loneliness in the lives of people who experience disabilities, particularly as it relates to difficult behaviors;
- The importance of going home to the people we love as an important organizing strategy for helping people to develop relationships;
- Strategies for helping people who are lonely to develop enduring, freely chosen, positive relationships.
- Problem-solving strategies for times when relationships are unbalanced or slow in developing.
Pamphlet will be uploaded soon!
