The life adjustment period after high school graduation is momentous for so many positive reasons of achievement, growth, and increasing independence. At the same time, it often comes with anxiety and strain related to a less structured schedule, a more disjointed sense of community, and persistent questions of “What now?”

In this webinar, Dana Smith will cover:

-- A therapeutic exploration of the developmental milestones common between the ages of 18–24
-- Short- and long-term strategies for managing anxiety, worry, and stress
-- Practical guidance for recognizing and responding to symptoms of depression for both caregivers and the young adults they support

Who Should Attend:
Caregivers, family members, and close supporters of young adults with disabilities who are approaching or navigating life after high school. Soon-to-be graduates, siblings, and other trusted supports are welcome.

Sponsored by the Center for Psychological and Educational Assessment

This year, we're celebrating the 100th anniversary of Black History Month. It originated as Negro History Week, a weeklong celebration by Carter G. Woodson, a Black author, historian, and journalist. The second week of February was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of abolitionist Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln, two figures who had been celebrated in the Black community since the 19th century. In 1976, President Gerald Ford recognized Black History Month, officially extending the celebration to the entire month of February.

The Black community has had a major influence on our society and culture, and its history deserves to be celebrated and appreciated. This month, we reflect on the stories of the past, acknowledge the progress being made in the present, and strive to create a better future. 💚 ❤️ 💛

Today is Ed Roberts Day, an occasion to honor the disability rights advocate and activist. Born on January 23, 1939, and paralyzed from the neck down due to polio, he became the first wheelchair user to attend the University of California, Berkeley. While at Berkeley, he and some friends formed the Physically Disabled Students Union, a student-led disability services organization that was the first of its kind on a college campus and served as a model for Berkeley's Center for Independent Living, leading to more centers of this kind opening up around the country.

He has been called the father of the Independent Living movement, a movement geared towards equal opportunities, self-respect, and self-determination for people with disabilities. Throughout his life, he fought for disabled individuals to be able to fully participate in society. In 1983, he co-founded the World Institute on Disability with fellow activists Judith Neumann and Joan Leon. The WID continues to fight for a more inclusive and accessible world for those with disabilities.

Although Ed Roberts passed away in 1995, his legacy and impact on disability rights history live on. Let's continue to uphold his legacy and work together to create an inclusive and accepting environment for those with disabilities❤️

Some helpful tips for the upcoming inclement weather - everyone, stay safe and warm! 🌨️

Don't Panic. Just Prepare.

We're a few days out from seeing winter weather in a large portion of North and Central Georgia. While it's too early to determine expected impacts in specific locations, the potential exists for significant travel issues, widespread power outages from downed trees and powerlines, and burst pipes this weekend into early next week.

Here's what you can be doing:
🫂Prepare your family. Make a family communications plan, have enough non-perishable food, water and medications for at least 3 days, ensure you have warm clothing and blankets, update your first aid kit, and keep your phone charged.

🏠Prepare your home. Install and test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, cover outdoor pipes and seal doors/windows, clean out gutters, ensure safe use of portable heaters and generators, gather supplies like flashlights, batteries, candles, and extra blankets.

🚗Prepare your car. Make sure your gas tank is full and prepare an emergency car kit including a first aid kit, cell phone charger, jumper cables, blankets, water, snacks and an ice scraper.

For ongoing updates, follow GEMA/HS, the National Weather Service, your local emergency management agency and trusted media outlets. For more preparedness tips, visit https://gema.georgia.gov/winter.
