After We're Gone Workshop

Yesterday I received an e-mail from the Superior Alliance for independent Living (SAIL) office about an upcoming workshop being held in Marquette.

The After We’re Gone Workshop is a program to assist parents of adult children with disabilities with information and resources in planning for their daughter or son’s future when they are no longer able to provide care.

This two-day workshop will be held 9:30-3:00 pm, May 23-24 in the Marquette Commons. 

The four parts of the program include the following:
Module #1: Worries & Hopes: Person-Centered Planning
Elizabeth Janks, DDI

Module #2: Where can we find support?
Deb Ziegler, Michigan Dept of Community Health; Representative from local Area Agency on Aging

Module #3: What is Self-Determination?
Michigan Partners for Freedom Local Leaders Pat Carver or Angela Martin

Module #4: Social Security Benefits & Estate Planning
Marty Alward & Others, MDCH; Don Hoyle & Ellen Surge Hyman, The Arc Michigan



For more information or to RSVP, contact: 
Amy Maes, SAIL
