Family Connections Webinars, a monthly series created to bring Special Olympics families together in a supportive, welcoming space. These virtual gatherings focus on meaningful connection—linking families to valuable information, practical resources, and, most importantly, to one another. Each session will highlight topics that matter most to our community, from navigating available programs and services to sharing personal experiences, practical strategies, and family success stories. Our goal is to create an open forum where families can learn, ask questions, and feel empowered—while discovering they’re never navigating this journey alone.
Registration is FREE and required to attend.
Presenter is Project 10: Transition Education Network
