Thriving Together is a family guide to getting through disability services. It is a series of workshops that allows parents and professionals to come together and learn from one another. Navigating the health care system can be a confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming task when you have a child with disabilities. In this workshop you will hear parents and professionals discuss the challenges of getting through the system, solutions to these challenges, and how you can work together.
