SUMMARY:From Collaboration to Action: State Initiatives Advancing Disability Employment
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will focus on innovative ways states are using partnerships\, shared goals\, and evidence-driven approaches to strengthen service delivery to job seekers with disabilities through the public workforce development system. Panelists will highlight how initiatives were launched\, how partners contributed to design and implementation\, and how states are tracking progress and adjusting strategies to improve results. Participants will hear directly from states as they share strategies—such as implementing a financial literacy train-the-trainer series to build statewide capacity and strengthening collaboration between experienced employment service providers and local businesses to expand employment opportunities. \nThis event is hosted by the LEAD Center via Zoom \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qYGjjbdURSCL76KuXcfdRA#/registration

SUMMARY:Beyond "Just Getting By": Supporting the Financial and Relational Lives of Families with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Families with disabilities navigate emotional\, relational\, and financial challenges that intersect in ways most professionals aren’t fully prepared to address. This workshop brings together experts in mental health\, financial planning\, and disability support services to build a shared foundation — covering research\, theory\, and practical resources grounded in real family experience. The workshop closes with a moderated panel of individuals and families with disabilities sharing their stories and what they wish the professionals in their lives truly understood. \nThe event will be held at Tate Reception Hall\, University of Georgia\, 45 Baxter Street\, Athens\, GA. Space is limited. Registration is required to secure your spot. Students are welcome and encouraged to attend. \nRegister Here
