Description

Family and Self-Advocacy fellows face unique challenges leveraging their LEND experiences in post-training advancement. Since their perspectives may not align neatly with a professional leadership track, they may require specialized mentorship. This interactive session, presented by the LEND Family Discipline Network and the Persons With Disabilities Workgroup, will highlight accomplishments of LEND Family/Self-Advocacy graduates and provide opportunities to share accomplishments and strategies for supporting trainees during LEND and beyond.
