Living Well Wednesday

Every wednesday, BPDD and Living Well hosts Living Well Wednesday on Zoom and Facebook Live. We share current information on what’s happening with COVID-19, the vaccine, services, and the things that matter to self-advocates. We are joined by experts and self-advocates to talk about their experiences during the pandemic and what to expect for the future. Once a month we have a Zoom only hang-out for self-advocates to connect with one another virtually. You can register for upcoming Living Well Wednesdays here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAqde6hqTgpH9DzJDJD30itgZv3weWt0Fwk
