Hello,

I am an SLP with the Down Syndrome Resource Foundation. You are on my mailing list as you previously attended or helped to advertise my previous local events. I am resuming in-person workshops this year and my first one is Thursday, September 15! Please see the attached flyer for details and share it with any caregivers, educators, therapists, etc. who might be interested. The content applies to all ages!

Details on these local workshops on the third Thursday of each month will be regularly updated here:

Thank you very much!

Hi everyone

Hope that you had an awesome Labour Day long weekend.

Here’s the link to the September Update from CLBC.

Have a great rest of the week!

From Cari at CLBC (Thanks!)

“Hi,  Please find attached the CLBC free online Behavioural training that is being offered for Fall 2022.

CLBC encourages service providers to make the time for their staff & encourage home share providers to attend these workshops. 

Training is the first step to building capacity within the community, and last year we found that the service providers with the lowest attendance were also the ones who struggled the most with supporting individuals with challenging situations.  This is also a cost effective way to train staff as well as it is online. 

There is a full year of workshops planned, and this is just the beginning! Service providers can go to the website to register their staff members at https://pivotpoint.ca/calendar/

If you have any questions please connect with Kymberley through Pivot Point.

Thank you so much.”
