well-being. This workshop examines strategies for supporting both the individual

who experiences disabilities along with the needs of his or her caregivers.

Upside Down and Inside Out: Supporting a Person in Crisis/ Supporting the People

Who Care examines the strategies for supporting a person in crisis. The workshop

focuses on specific physiological changes that overcome a person in distress,

and strategies that make sense for the person and his or her caregivers.

The Importance of Belonging discusses the importance of being connected to the

people we love and how critical that connection is to our emotional and physical

well-being. This workshop shares ideas for moving beyond interventions and

coverage to a system that supports enduring, freely chosen relationships.
