**Beyond the backpack**

An event for families of people with developmental disabilities. Meet other families in your community and learn from their experiences :)

Beyond the Backpack: A Parent Resource Mixer

The event is designed to connect families navigating developmental disabilities, OPWDD, mental health supports, and services outside of school with providers, programs, and community resources that can help them build a clearer roadmap.

Vendors and community providers who would like to connect directly with families, as well as sponsors who would like to support the event are welcome to join. Even simply helping us spread the word to families and organizations in your network would mean a lot!
