Description

Families with disabilities navigate emotional, relational, and financial challenges that intersect in ways most professionals aren't fully prepared to address. This workshop brings together experts in mental health, financial planning, and disability support services to build a shared foundation — covering research, theory, and practical resources grounded in real family experience. The workshop closes with a moderated panel of individuals and families with disabilities sharing their stories and what they wish the professionals in their lives truly understood. 

The event will be held at Tate Reception Hall, University of Georgia, 45 Baxter Street, Athens, GA. Space is limited. Registration is required to secure your spot. Students are welcome and encouraged to attend.
