SUMMARY:Building Your Toolbox for Caregivers: Aligning Expectations for Employment
DESCRIPTION:We all have expectations around what the transition to employment will look like for our young adult\, but what happens when our expectations do not align with theirs? \n\n\n\nIn this strengths-based workshop we will discuss tools and strategies to improve shared communication between caregiver and young adult throughout their transition to employment. These skills will help to align expectations and create space to support all parties through this transition. \n\n\n\nPlease note: caregivers do not need to be parents in order to attend this workshop. Caregivers can be legal guardians\, supportive roommates\, natural supports\, or family members. \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain the knowledge and skills to: \n\n\n\n\nRecognize the factors that impact communication between caregivers and young adults\n\n\n\nUse strengths-based tools to support their young adult in the “preparing for work” phase\n\n\n\nModel and implement strategies and routines that support shared growth and understanding\n\n\n\nReflect on expectations and needs regarding the transition process\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, May 206:00 – 7:30 p.m.In-person at The Ability Hub (300\, 3820 24 Avenue NW) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpace in this session is limited\, and registration is required through Sinneave Connects.

SUMMARY:The Role of Stigma and Trauma in Shaping Autistic Experiences
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will include an overview of research on the impacts of trauma and stigma on Autistic people. Together\, we will explore how autism-related stigma in society\, research\, and interpersonal interactions translates into a greater risk of experiencing trauma\, including exclusion and discrimination\, for many Autistic people. \n\n\n\nThe presenter will discuss Autistic peoples’ experiences with stigmatization and trauma in a variety of contexts (including interpersonal relationships\, school\, work\, clinical\, and community spaces)\, and address the self-reported coping methods Autistic people use.  \n\n\n\nThey will also explore intersectional\, neurodiversity-affirming\, and trauma-informed approaches to supporting Autistic people in their day-to-day lives. \n\n\n\nThis session is brought to you by Autism Edmonton with support from the Sinneave Family Foundation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, May 2612:00 – 1:00 p.m. (Mountain Time)Online via Autism Edmonton \n\n\n\nRegistration for this event is via Autism Edmonton’s Eventbrite page. You can register by clicking the button that says “Register.” \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter: \n\n\n\nTamara Garfield is a doctoral student at Drexel University in the Community Health and Prevention program of the Dornsife School of Public Health in Philadelphia\, PA.

SUMMARY:Caregiver Resilience: Living Authentically
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, attendees will learn how to identify their values and what’s important to them and how they can use that knowledge to live more authentically. Living authentically means valuing yourself and learning to live according to your values instead to the expectations of others. \n\n\n\nWhile this session is for everyone\, its focus will particularly benefit women and aging adults. \n\n\n\nThis session is brought to you by Autism Edmonton and YMCA with support from the Sinneave Family Foundation.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, May 281:00 – 2:30 p.m. (Mountain Time)Online via Autism Edmonton \n\n\n\nRegistration for this event is via Autism Edmonton’s Eventbrite page. You can register by clicking the button that says “Register.” \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the YMCA: \n\n\n\nAt YMCA\, we believe in the power of people. Every day\, our dedicated employees and volunteers bring energy\, positivity\, and inclusivity to everything they do. They are the spark that ignites potential in others – helping individuals grow\, thrive\, and truly belong. \n\n\n\nWhen people feel connected and supported\, communities become stronger\, more resilient\, and full of life. That’s the impact of people-powered change. Together\, we create welcoming spaces where everyone is valued\, differences are celebrated\, and possibilities are endless. Be the spark. Shine bright. Help others shine too.
