The Community Support Network at Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD) has an excellent program, “Hear Our Voices,” aimed at empowering, educating and self-advocates. The virtual meetings are also an opportunity to develop social connections.

Its educational programming explores relevant topics for advocacy and, in doing so, helps teach those with I/DD how to become leaders and to make the changes they need.

Its upcoming discussion, “Employment Barriers,” will explore, among other things, the barriers that make employment difficult, suggest solutions, and include a discussion on the changes self-advocates would like to see to help ease the employment crisis for people with developmental disabilities.

This meeting, as are all “Hear Our Voices” meetings, is for any interested self-advocate anywhere in New York State. You do not have to have attended other meetings; everyone is welcome at all times.
