This is an interactive, online workshop in two parts, presented by Janet Klees, for those who are serious about exploring and discovering the opportunities for welcome, engagement, and relationship that abound in our communities! Although our day to day life has looked different over the last few years – there are tried and true ways to plan and take next steps to help people lead purposeful, meaningful lives where they participate, contribute and belong.
If you are involved with planning and supporting a person to be a fuller member of their community and need a practical approach that works, this workshop is for you!
These two sessions offer real life stories to stretch your imagination, a basic framework that you can begin to use today, and some tips and ideas on support basics that stand the test of time. You will also be able to problem solve and brain storm for your own situation.
Come as a family member who wants to bolster and expand a meaningful life. Come as a supporter who wants new and powerful ideas for people to be engaged and growing. Consider even attending this event “with” a small group of family members, supporters and allies who sign up and remain in a “group” working together throughout the workshop.
Over two evenings, we will plan, practice and polish setting up and supporting our own contexts that work.
The workshop is based upon the belief that when our communities are able to invite, welcome and appreciate the contributions of its most vulnerable members, we all benefit. Communities need support to discover these contributions. Supporters need a vision of possibility, a sound approach and effective strategies to take action.
