This Valentine’s season, we’re celebrating connection in all its forms—friendship, trust, belonging, and the right to meaningful relationships. Join us for a free Lunch and Learn designed for professionals who support individuals with disabilities and want to build confidence in having conversations about safe and healthy relationships.

 

In this introductory session, we’ll explore key topics that help providers offer informed, empowering support:

✨ Why these conversations matter – understanding increased risks for abuse, vulnerability, and the importance of proactive education

✨ Messages, stereotypes, and myths that impact how people with disabilities experience relationships

✨ What to teach to build skills around safety, communication, consent, and healthy boundaries

✨ The importance of organizational policy so staff understand their role and feel confident supporting people

✨ Individual rights and guardianship – how to honor autonomy while navigating support needs

✨ Resources available to help guide ongoing education and conversation

 

Whether you’re new to this topic or want a stronger foundation, this session will give you practical tools, clearer language, and a better understanding of how to support individuals in developing relationships that enrich their lives.

 

 

 

Join us as we spread some love this Valentine’s season and champion relationship rights for all. 💗💬
