Three-part, virtual discussion series designed to help families:

• Approach service planning focused on strengths, family priorities, and personal preferences
• Identify and discuss areas that impact planning for the Now and the future
• Know that although planning can be challenging, there are tools that can help throughout the process and across the lifespan
• Approach eligibility events feeling more prepared and ready to be heard

REGISTER HERE: https://ipulidaho.org/news/08-27-2024-charting-the-lifecourse-family-roundtable-series/

By signing up for all three sessions, you will have the opportunity to learn about simple but effective tools created by families and people with disabilities who have lived what you are going through. You will spend time with experienced planners, specially trained in using and adapting these tools to meet individualized needs. But most importantly, by participating in these discussions, you will give and receive support from those who are experiencing the same challenges you are.

Seats are limited and we expect they will fill quickly.
