Disabilities can be an important aspect of young people’s identities and lived experiences. Many youth with disabilities face barriers accessing needed services and supports. As peer supporters, we can help facilitate better access for young people with disabilities. Join us this month to discuss how our own biases affect the services we offer; strategies and tools for fostering young people’s strengths, interests, and diverse perspectives; and what we need to do to create a more responsive and inclusive system.

These monthly forums are an opportunity to connect with others who share concern and passion for developmentally appropriate and appealing systems and supports for youth and young adults. Maybe you're a peer support provider or a new professional with lived experience working in mental health advocacy. Whatever your role, if you are a young adult professional seeking to make peer-to-peer connections and develop your professional capacity, this learning community offers a space to acquire and build skills with other mental health workforce professionals.

We hope you will join us in collective skill-building, engaging conversations, and young professional networking.

Intended Audience
The target audience for this learning community is young professionals working with youth and young adults of transition age.
