First of a kind self-directed care conference will welcome families and caregivers

Living with a disability or being a caregiver for a loved one with disabilities can be lonely, frustrating, and confusing. An upcoming first-of-a-kind conference is designed to bring parents, caregivers and individuals together in Minnesota. “We’ve needed something like this for a long time. Our main goal is to connect people who use the services with one another; sharing lived experiences is the best way to learn,” said Jen Drganc, Director of Operations at Harry Meyering Center (an Applied Self-Direction member), one of the organizations that is sponsoring the conference.
