The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities has organized “The Family Engagement Series”. These hands-on sessions will teach you practical ways to manage pressure, patience, and learn creative ways to modify your existing methods of coping and caring for those you love. We must care for ourselves first in order to care for others in our family. The Family Engagement Series is designed to unlock your strength, build a foundation, and learn skills and strategies to manage family stressors. The Family Engagement Series will be an opportunity for families to get personal and work together to solve common –and uncommon—family stressors. Moderators will work with each group’s real-life obstacles to find solutions that work for your entire family. Your presence is important because we cannot have these conversations without you. REGISTRATION When registering for the Family Engagement Series you must commit to attending four (4) session. More than one family member is welcome to attend the series, but they should be registered and committed to attending the same sessions.
