Preparing for the Future

As parents age, the responsibility for caring for a relative with a disability or aging parents shifts from one generation to the next. This workshop helps families, including siblings and extended families, to look ahead and plan for this.

A Safe and Secure Plan is a written summary of your plans for the social and financial well-being of your family member with a disability.

We have learned that the most effective question when making a Plan is: What is a good life? Families tell us that a good life for their relative should include the following elements:

• caring and loving relationships
• a place of one’s own
• choice
• contribution
• financial

The worksheets will assist you with answering these questions for your family’s unique circumstances.

The worksheets accompanying the workshop are from the book Safe and Secure: Seven Steps on the Path to a Good Life for People with Disabilities.
By Al Etmanski, with Jack Collins and Vickie Cammack.

***Early Bird pricing ends September 7th. The ticket price includes morning refreshments, lunch, the Safe and Secure book, and an extra copy of the worksheets.

***Please email [email protected] if you have any food sensitivities. Let us know what they are and if you prefer a change. We will try to accommodate.

PLAN Okanagan helps to create safe and secure futures for people with disabilities and their families in the community.

We are families that share your concerns about the future of your family member with a disability. We know how hard you are working to secure a good life for them, and we are here to provide resources, support and guidance through our collective shared experiences.
