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.

This free event brings together some powerful organizations all working toward the same goal — making sure every child and young person feels like they truly belong. The groups behind it include the Center on Human Development and Disability at the University of Georgia (CHDD UGA), the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD), Out of Hand Theatre, Wesleyan College, Lipson Advocacy, the Georgia Advocacy Office, and the Tubman Museum.
Guests can look forward to a powerful one-person theatrical performance, light snacks and drinks, and open conversation about what inclusion really looks like — and how we can all help make it happen. On-site childcare and family support will be available, so families with young children are especially encouraged to come.
