Who We Are
The Personal Support Networks Project, aka “101 Friends,” is hosted by Spectrum Society. This blog is published as an e-newsletter each month, subscribe at www.spectrumsociety.org It’s our intention to create a provincial forum for a continued discussion of how people with disabilities engage in recipricol relationships, and how we can expand and deepen the possibilities of those relationships. We also hope to let people know about upcoming training events, our own and those of other workshop leaders, that have to do with this topic and focus on self-governance and authentic person-centredness.
We are always happy to get submissions to the newsletter and love to get your stories of successful relationships. Please send them to psn@spectrumsociety.org
