The Commit to Connect initiative, aimed at reducing social isolation and loneliness and promoting social connections, is hosting two events this month. Join Commit to Connect on April 19 for a Peer-to-Peer Exchange focused on outreach, specifically finding and engaging participants for social isolation and loneliness programs. This forum will be an open discussion format—come ready to make connections, share ideas and learn from others. Continue to learn by attending a webinar on April 21. This webinar will highlight an evidence-informed tool that has been used to assess self-directed community participation interests of adults with psychiatric disabilities and autistic adults and guide community inclusion supports planning. Attendees will hear from the unique partnership between an academic institution and a Center for Independent Living, and how other organizations may be able to use this tool.
The first event will be held Wednesday, April 19 at 1:00 p.m. ET. The second event will take place Friday, April 21 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. ET.
