Community of Practice – Bridging Social Roles
Join our ever-growing Community of Practice! Social roles shape how people are seen, valued, and included in community life.
This session will help leaders understand why valued social roles matter and provide practical ways to help people take on roles that connect them to others—whether as family members, employees, volunteers, or through talents and interests.
Participants will explore tools, learn how to nurture positive and current social roles, and share real-world examples of what works.
You’ll leave with concrete ideas and resources to bring back to your organization to strengthen belonging and new opportunities for those that you serve.

Getting Rights, Right! – Direct Support Professionals
Getting Rights Right is a full-day, interactive workshop that explores how direct support staff can turn rights from abstract ideas into everyday practice.
Together, we’ll look at the history and laws that shape disability rights, unpack what real choice and decision-making mean, and reflect on the barriers that still get in the way.
Through discussion and practical strategies, participants will learn how to support people with disabilities to take the driver’s seat in their own lives—balancing rights and responsibilities, navigating “grey areas,” and standing beside people as equal citizens.
