Oct. 8th- Please join Adara Heilmann, Director of Children's Advocacy and Jennifer Harrison, Director of Planning for Adult Life to discuss dropping the rope! Parenting a teen with disabilities comes with unique challenges, especially as they approach adulthood. It’s natural to feel the urge to hold on tightly—but sometimes the greatest support we can offer is learning when and how to drop the rope. This empowering and compassionate webinar is designed for parents and caregivers who want to guide their teens with disabilities into adulthood with confidence, grace, and trust. We’ll explore practical strategies to foster independence, build self-advocacy, and redefine your role—not as a controller, but as a collaborator.

Through real-life stories, developmental insights, and expert guidance, you'll learn how to:
-Navigate the emotional shift from protector to partner
-Encourage decision-making and self-expression
-Prepare for transitions in education, employment, and independent living
-Let go without giving up

Join us for this thoughtful conversation on how to lead with love, release control with purpose, and walk beside your teen as they step into their own future.
