Conversations and Friends

We’ve had several requests to create some opportunities for families to get to know each other, and to learn about some of the alternatives and best practices in community living.   So we’re really excited to announce the beginning of:

A Year of Conversations about

Person Centredness and Making Connections

 On the second Wednesday of each month, at the Spectrum Office (for now), we will host short, informal talks from 6:30 – 7:30 with time for questions, then refreshments and discussion from 7:30 – 8:30. We hope to have parents and self advocate partners speaking and hosting at each event. Please join us!
