Disability Connection of West Michigan

The Empowerment Program is a series of workshops designed for persons with disabilities to help them take charge of their own lives…to become empowered.

 

Who Should Attend?

Consumers working with Michigan Rehabilitation Services, Community Mental Health, or anyone with a disability can benefit from these workshops.  The workshops address challenges faced during life in general, schooling, transitioning to work, training, and/or acquiring vocational skills.

A disability can make life more complicated and usually the answers are not simple.  We try to address issues such as: 

• Assistive Rights
• Americans with Disabilities  Act
• Accommodations

 

Living with a disability may be new to you, or you may be going through a life change so you may have questions like…

• What do you need to build a meaningful life?
• What is working for you? 
• What isn't working? 
• What can you do about the parts of your life that are not working for you?

These issues will be addressed so you can figure out where you are and where you want to go.

 

There are many community resources that can help you meet your needs and goals. How do you find out about these resources?  How do you get help?  Come and find out!
