Join our Inclusive Health Program for 3, 1-hour virtual Family Health Forum sessions on Fitness for the Family, Caregiver Support – Managing Stress and Building Resilience and Healthy Eating for the Family. Attend one, or attend all 3.
Family Health Forums provide a space for parents, caregivers, and siblings of people with IDD to engage with health professionals, community leaders, and social service providers. The Forums introduce new families to Special Olympics and services provided through Healthy Athletes®, Young Athletes and other community-based programs for people with ID, while also surfacing challenges that athletes face and how best to overcome them—with a special focus on bettering access to health care, education, and inclusive activities.
