When
Where
This webinar, moderated by self advocates, will provide participants with opportunities to hear from self advocates and supporters about the importance of having the early expectation of an integrated community employment goal. They will share what worked and didn’t in staying true to that goal when barriers arose, advocacy strategies, such as peer or family supports or finding a mentor as powerful barrier busters. The panel will offer tips on what they wished others had shared when they first expressed their employment goals and considerations for participants in their own journey.
