Perspectives Series
Join us every third Monday of the month to hear different perspectives on a variety of disability topics.
No disability journey is the same, but that doesn’t mean you are alone in your experience. Our Perspectives Series is an opportunity to meet, ask questions, and learn directly from people in and around the disability community on topics that matter to you.
What is it like dating with a disability? When should you reach out for care aid? How do parents of children with disabilities deal with stressful times? Our goal with these real and raw conversations is to pull back the veil of what it means to live with a disability.
Have something to share? We would love to have you contribute!
We’re always looking for more people and organizations to host interesting and engaging live disability-focused webinars. If you have an idea for a workshop or presentation, we would love to hear from you. Please email info@connectra.org
