Developing Relationships and Connections Training - Day 1 (April 29)
Access: Members Only, Public
Developing Relationships and Connections - April 29, 2025 9am-4pm. NO COST - limited spaces
This is a one-day training designed to provide learners with a brief overview of the history of services for individuals that are supported. We explore the concepts of giftedness, belonging and practical tools to assist people to build connections and relationships in their community. This is an interactive offering that allows learners to participate in discussions and group activities.
This training is excellent for people working in a direct support capacity. Course participants will learn:
1. A brief history of institutionalization, segregation, isolation, and the importance of inclusion and relationships.
2. Self-reflect on values, beliefs, biases, goals, and experiences.
3. Unique Perspectives of individuals, families, and support professionals.
4. The importance of disability support workers defining their roles in relation to friendships.
5. Giftedness, the importance of being valued and how to think creatively.
6. Where to look for connections within communities and neighborhoods.
7. Understanding that this important work goes beyond connecting with others in the organization and requires new ways of thinking.
In person in Pulford Community Living - 5-1146 Waverley, Winnipeg
