Family Matters Parent Training and Information Center will host part four of the Charting the LifeCourse Monthly Lunch & Learn Series “Exploring Relationships with Mapping Relationships and Reciprocal Roles,” on April 16 from 12 to 12:45 p.m.

The 12-session virtual series will introduce Charting the LifeCourse (CtLC), a practical, family-centered framework for planning across the lifespan. Each month, families, youth and professionals will explore one key CtLC tool or concept through:

  • Short videos

  • Examples of how families are using these tools to plan, connect and advocate for the life they want.

There will also be time to network, share ideas, and connect with others on similar journeys.

Sessions are free. Anyone supporting students and young adults with disabilities is welcome to attend.
