Winter is Here!
Hi there, we are so excited to share the second edition of the Family Connections newsletter with you! This newsletter is an initiative of the Perth County Family Network. This newsletter has been created by families for other families.
We send four newsletters a year.

Creating A Home For Michael
Michael’s journey highlights the importance and power of thoughtful planning, family support and community collaboration.
Spotlight Story:
Libro Credit Union
We want to celebrate the Libro Credit Union and their contribution to supporting inclusive employment for youth with a disability.
Connect With Our Community
Being in places and spaces where our community naturally thrives is a great way to build relationships. Our team of families have put together a LIVE community calendar to help your family get connected and have fun doing it! Check back frequently as this calendar is constantly being updated as we become aware of new events.
Managing Individualized Funding?
The Developmental Services Workforce Initiative (DSWI), has partnered with researchers at Queen’s University to conduct a survey on managing supports with individualized funding. They are looking for feedback from families and caregivers.
Featured Resource:
How do you think we are doing as a society to ensure that all people experience the ten dimensions of belonging?
The PROGRESS Center at the American Institutes for Research is sharing a guide that asks questions about belonging in schools. However, they can be easily adapted to help us think about spaces in community as well.
