The webinars will be offered over Zoom and will be recorded. All sessions will be held from 3:00-4:00pm Eastern Time.
Future webinars will cover topics that include preparing for when your child turns 18, taking a closer look at supported decision-making, and supporting healthcare-related decision-making.
