Everyone deserves to experience the life they want in the community they choose!
This presentation will discuss key components and strategies to support increased Quality of Life through identifying interests and strengths, along with building community partnerships and relationships. This presentation will set the stage for the symposium and introduce social and community mapping. Active community engagement leads to better outcomes!
Participants will learn ways to engage themselves or their loved ones in identifying interests and hobbies, and how to navigate community partnerships that would support such interests through relationships, employment, life-long learning, independence, and independent living.
Each participant will be able to complete their own SPIN (Strengths, Preferences, Interests, and Needs) to reference throughout the day.
