Middle schoolers and teens can experience at least 24 mood changes in a day, so it’s no wonder social-emotional learning is a trend in youth centers. In this webinar, you’ll learn ways to support social-emotional learning in your program. You’ll also explore how disability is a dimension of diversity and how to make your program truly inclusive for all.

Social Inclusion for youth with disabilities can be a daily challenge. Navigating the dating world is difficult for anyone who is bold enough to take it on. Combine dating with disabilities and youth can find themselves in a whirlwind of mixed emotions and difficult decisions about relationships. Successful relationships and healthy love lives have been and can be achieved by people with disabilities. Providing education and support can help reduce the challenges for youth navigating the dating world.
