SUMMARY:FMS Learning Series: Positive Approaches
DESCRIPTION:Inclusion Alberta Family Resource Centre – Grande Prairie and Region and the Darrell Cook Family Managed Supports Resource Centre present the FMS Learning Series: \nPositive Approaches\nDate: Saturday February 12\, 2022 \nTime: 9am to 12pm \nVirtual – REGISTER HERE \nWorkshop Presenter: Arne Fulton\, Complex Needs Coordinator \nAll behaviour is a means of communication. When we start to uncover what the behaviour is trying to tell us\, we become much better at meeting the needs of people with developmental disabilities who have been labelled as having ‘challenging behaviours.’ \nToo often\, people with developmental disabilities’ efforts to communicate their needs result in behaviour that is identified as challenging or in the individual being identified as having complex needs. Targeting and addressing behaviour in this way puts people at risk of having their needs ignored\, being isolated or openly punished for trying to meet their needs. As a result\, individuals with developmental disabilities\, sometimes compounded by mental health and other challenges\, are often identified with complex behaviour and find themselves living very restricted and chaotic lives. \nArne Fulton\, Provincial Coordinator of the Complex Need Initiative will share how Inclusion Alberta works with families\, individuals\, and service providers to develop meaningful and thoughtful positive approaches. These approaches have brought stability\, home\, and more meaningful community engagement to support the lives of people with developmental disabilities identified with having complex needs. This session will explore concepts and approaches that focus on the importance of really getting to know people by listening fully with your body\, heart\, and mind to support changes that enable more meaningful and inclusive lives. \nThe session will cover: \n\nUnderstanding loneliness and its relationship to unmet needs and challenging behaviours\nTrauma Informed Care\nNormalizing behaviour as a means of communication to help understand what someone might be expressing\nReframing the description of behaviour by changing the lens in which we view communication\n\nFamilies and FMS staff are encouraged to attend. \nIf you require assistance registering\, contact Pat Winter at 403-539-8192 or dc-fms@inclusionalberta.org

SUMMARY:FMS Learning Series: Exploring Opportunities for Creating Employment
DESCRIPTION:The Darrell Cook Family Managed Supports Resource Centre and the Inclusion Alberta Family Resource Centre – Grande Prairie present the FMS Learning Series 2021/2022: \nExploring Opportunities for Creating Employment\nSaturday\, January 22\, 2022 \n9am – 12pm \nPresenter: Wendy McDonald \nRegister here for a Zoom link \nEmployment has a central role in most people’s lives\, offering purpose and meaning to one’s life\, in addition to an income. The vast majority of individuals with developmental disabilities can be successfully employed at least part-time and many full-time. The resources available through FMS can be effectively utilized to both create employment possibilities and to provide on-the-job supports to ensure success\, when and where needed. More and more employers are demonstrating a willingness and recognizing the benefits of hiring individuals with developmental disabilities. \nThe session will cover: \n\nEngaging employers\nCreating employment possibilities based on the interests of the individual\nFacilitating natural supports in an employment setting\n\nFamilies and FMS staff are encouraged to attend. \nIf you require assistance registering\, contact Pat Winter at 403-539-8192 or dc-fms@inclusionalberta.org

SUMMARY:FMS Learning Series: Creating & Facilitating Relationships Through Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:The Darrell Cook Family Managed Supports Resource Centre and the Inclusion Alberta Family Resource Centre – Grande Prairie present the FMS Learning Series 2021/2022: \nCreating & Facilitating Relationships Through Community Engagement\nSaturday\, November 6\, 2021 \n9am – 12pm \nPresenter: TBA \nRegister here for a Zoom link \nRelationships are an essential and intimate part of everyone’s daily life\, including individuals with developmental disabilities. Relationships and friendships not only encourage individual expression\, dreams and passions but also provide important natural supports necessary to have a good life in community. Individuals with developmental disabilities will never secure a safe and meaningful life if the only people in their lives providing support are staff paid to be there. A principle role of staff hired by families through FMS must be to facilitate community engagement\, membership and belonging to allow for the emergence of freely given relationships and friendships. \nThis session will explore: \n\nThe meaning and power of natural pathways\nStrategies for community engagement and inclusion through which relationships can emerge\nHow families and FMS staff can facilitate and encourage connections within the community\nHow to identify individual interests\n\nFamilies and FMS Staff are welcome to attend. \nIf you require assistance registering\, contact Pat Winter at 403-539-8192 or dc-fms@inclusionalberta.org
