Join Professionals Support Group this Friday, June 2

Professionals Support Group is an online support group for professionals working in the intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) field. We provide a space to vent, to talk about current challenges, to give and receive support and encouragement in a safe, nonjudgmental forum with others who understand and relate. Why? Because professionals need support too! Brought to you in partnership with the Regional Autism Advisory Council of Southwest Ohio.

We meet on the first Friday of each month from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET over Zoom. If you plan to participate, please register in advance at the linked button below. Registration is required once. After you complete registration, a Zoom link and passcode will be emailed to you. We look forward to meeting with you!
