This session is designed specifically for people with disabilities, their families and supporters to explore the variety of decision-making options available to support a full, meaningful, and good life. We will discuss the principles of Supported Decision-Making, ideas for practice, and some of the unintended consequences of guardianship. Attendees will also hear from a Youth Ambassador and their family about their lived experience using Supported Decision-Making.

The Caroline Thome Fund Event
We are so excited to be hosting The Caroline Thome Angel Fund Benefit again this year. The Caroline Thome Angel Fund is used year-round to help Down syndrome families in need. Specifically targeting opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome to attend camps and help families in need over the holidays. We started this fund to honor our sweet daughter Caroline, who left us too soon. Help us continue to honor our daughter by helping other Down syndrome families. We hope to see you on January 27th! --Julian and Mandy Thome
All proceeds will benefit the Caroline Thome Angel Fund, created to impact the lives of local families raising an individual with Down syndrome. Learn more about the Caroline Thome Angel Fund.
