Future Ready – A Workshop for Teens & Their Families

October 3 @ 8:00 am - October 4 @ 5:00 pm
$350

Future Ready is an engaging and structured program to equip teens and young adults with disabilities, ages 14 to 21, and their families with the tools and a plan for the transition to adult life.

Teens will build confidence, self-advocacy skills, and create a clear vision for their future. As parents, you will gain practical guidance on adult systems, decision-making options, and learn how you can support their increasing independence. Through expert-led sessions, peer learning, and planning activities, participants explore healthcare, education, employment, adult long-term care, community life, financial tools and skills needed for the real world.

This program is best suited for teens, between the ages of 14 and 19, who have a disability or special health care need, and are at a level of need to qualify for long-term support services. We encourage teens to attend with one or more parents and/or primary caregivers.

You will leave with a shared understanding of what transition means, concrete next steps, and tools to move forward with your teen in greater confidence based on teamwork.

To ensure a quality experience this group will be held to a limited number of families. Early registration is recommended.
