Our Reality of the Caregiver Experience - 2-Part Virtual Series
This series, hosted by the DC Supporting Families Community of Practice, will engage families of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to provide visibility, resources, and support. These activities will also raise awareness of the needs of caregivers across the lifespan and identify strategies and recommendations to improve caregivers' lives.
