Please join Mouna Raad, PHP’s Family Empowerment Center and Mental Health Program Manager, as she tells her compelling story of inclusion during a person-centered transition to adulthood for a young woman with a developmental disability.

This is a family’s journey around belonging that started in a small village in a far away country and is continuing to this day in a Bay Area town. Through pictures, videos, stories, and correspondence, we will spotlight:

  • Beautiful moments of inclusivity from childhood through adulthood
  • Ways parents may identify, create, and sustain inclusive opportunities for loved ones before, during, and after transition into adulthood
  • The importance of intention, thoughtfulness, and planning when considering inclusion
  • Lessons learned – and inspiration discovered – along the way

 

 

This is a Connections California event, a project of Parents Helping Parents – Silicon Valley. Connections California is sponsored in part by the San Andreas Regional Center and the California Department of Developmental Services.
