We are pleased to announce that Nathan Ory is coming to Victoria to present a workshop on “How to Support a Person Who is Emotionally Fragile and Explosive: what you can do when nothing else works.” Nathan has been a registered psychologist for more than 30 years. He has worked in and around Victoria since 1978 with children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He specializes in autism spectrum disorders, fetal alcohol syndrome, extremely challenging behavior, and persons who are dually diagnosed with one of these conditions and a mental health disorder. He regularly speaks throughout the United States and Canada, and we are very excited to be a part of South Island Education Committee that is hosting him. Contact Kristen at BeConnected’s Head Office to register.

‘Three Times a Week’ by Peter Leidy
March 18, 2015
Sometimes in social services we create plans that disregard the importance of relationships and social roles and that are, quite frankly, boring. We hope you see the humour in this short video, but also are able to recognize OUR ROLE in creating with people, plans that are meaningful, challenging, and lead to the things that matter like relationships, community, and employment.
