The brief: Highlight the benefits of an evening workshop.
Companionship is foundational to a good life – sharing our joys and sorrows with those who love us and choose our company. People with disability sometimes miss the opportunities to give and grow that come with friendship because opportunities to initiate mutual relationships with new people are limited.
Building Context for Relationships is an evening online workshop that can help you learn how to bring people with disability together with others who share their interests, and open up pathways to friendship.
Join this workshop to:
- Identify interests that can provide a foundation for friendship.
- Learn to think big about where opportunities for friendship could be found
- Develop strategies that move a person from spectator to teammate within a group
- Expand opportunities for the person with disability to develop relationships they choose, not just those they require
