Events and Workshops
Community Bridges’ Individual and Family Support Services program provides educational training on a wide variety of topics to help your family better support your loved one with a disability.
We recognize and appreciate that families today want to be well informed and feel empowered to navigate systems, advocate effectively, make informed decisions, and direct the supports and services their family member needs. That’s why we sponsor high-quality workshops and training that share information and ideas to support you and your family in developing strategies to promote a better life outcome.
