Description
Join us on Wednesday, June 5, 2024 from 11-12:30 pm Eastern Time. Adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities may need information or support about sex from their guardians. So, how do great Guardians, Social Workers, Providers, Caregivers or Attorneys manage this sensitive topic in order to keep clients safe and happy?

In this 90-minute webinar, The Center is delighted to interview Pat Carney, Director of Learning & Development for MA Department of Developmental Services, CW Region. Pat brings practical, actionable advice to help family and professional guardians navigate personal conversations about sex.
