A SPECIAL LIVE EVENT ON THURSDAY APRIL 19TH, 2018
Building on the success of last year’s Art of Belonging event, we are super excited to screen the second annual P4P live event! Once again P4P has invited a group of diverse, passionate speakers to share their thoughts and personal stories related to the theme of resiliency.
When we think of the individuals, families, allies and advocates who strive to create good lives and inclusive communities for all people, they are nothing if not resilient. In other words, they have oodles of …

Join us for this engaging and practical series!
Families throughout the Region of Durham (and beyond) are invited to participate in an innovative and interactive six-week workshop that will support in re-imaging opportunities and real options for their family member. The heart of the series is to move beyond traditional uses for funding to plan for a life that reflects interests, hopes and dreams.
The series is led by mentoring parents that engage in useful conversations and share their experiences in planning and creating opportunities. These conversations highlight simple choices that families can make to discover ordinary, yet significant ways for family members to be involved in their neighbourhood.

Thinking About Housing for a Loved One with a Disability?
Imagining Home is a group of like-minded people delving into finding and creating “home” for a loved one with a disability. This group has been meeting monthly as part of an MCSS funded pilot project.
Interested in coming out? New members are welcome! Get in touch with Selena prior to a meeting so she can catch you up so you get the most out of the meetings.
The Bio-Medical Study Group is a group of family and community members who find it inspiring, helpful, and personally rewarding to talk with each other about our own experiences and share new information all about optimal health, balance and well-being. We think about wellness in terms of food and nutrition, making sure sensory needs are met, figuring out mindful and conscious approaches, or looking at what recent research can tell us about medications, seizures, digestive issues and more.
Our conversation focuses on the whole person and how people may respond with more or less sensitivity to their environment, including diet and nutrition, brain coherence, sensory integration issues, the calmness or agitation of those around them, and more.
The group has been meeting monthly for over a year and is open and welcomes new participants! We meet at The Gathering Place (20-850 King St. W, Oshawa), the second Friday of each month at 10am. Please RSVP your attendance to jklees@dafrs.com so that we can plan a successful morning.
