Disability & Healthy Relationships ECHO

There is a general lack of awareness and capacity around supporting healthy relationships and sexuality education for individuals with disabilities. This ECHO is primarily for professionals who provide services or support to individuals with disabilities, in any capacity. This ECHO training series will share important information, education, and resources about the intersection of disability and healthy relationships, sexuality,  consent, and abuse prevention to increase the knowledge and capacity of professionals who work in various fields. With this information, participants will be better equipped to share accurate information, resources, and support for individuals with disabilities.

These sessions are FREE for all participants

The target audience is adults with disabilities, family members, and professionals who serve individuals with disabilities 

Sessions will be held the 2nd Thursday of each month from 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. MST via Zoom video conferencing technology
