Wise Webinar Series: 

Community Inclusion: Short-Term Efforts for Long-Term Gains

 with Dan Rutten

 

Please join us on Wednesday, August 26th for our webinar, “Community Inclusion: Short-Term Efforts for Long-Term Gains" with Dan Rutten.

Providing quality, meaningful Community Inclusion services in the face COVID19 is complex. Many typical opportunities have been put on hold. Some people aren’t able to access their communities until later Phases, per Governor Inslee’s orders. And figuring out how to move forward someone forward can feel insurmountable. The good news is:  things will get better and we will get back to a version of our previous services. But what do we do in the meantime?

In this webinar, Wise Senior Program Manager, Dan Rutten will provide ideas and approaches to keep your Community Inclusion services rolling. From intake to identifying options for community participation, there are a number of things that can be done now to ensure that you are able to keep people moving forward on their paths to inclusion and we want to share our ideas with you!

.

Learning Objectives (Info, tools, and skills attendees will receive):

  • Clarify the purpose of Community Inclusion services
  • Establish the difference between being in/a part/included in your community
  • Identifying progress focused, billable activities that can be delivered despite the complex ability for some to engage in their communities during COVID19

Do you require an accommodation, materials in alternate format or have inquiries about accessibility in this event? If so, please reach out to support@gowise.org no later than 5pm Friday prior to this webinar. Due to the short turnaround of our webinar series we are unable to accommodate same day requests. We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully.
