Letting Go to Grow: Navigating the Dignity of Risk

Transitioning from adolescence to adulthood is a pivotal journey, especially for young adults with disabilities. While caregivers naturally seek to protect their loved one from potential harm, it’s essential to recognize that reasonable risk-taking is a fundamental aspect of personal growth and independence.
This workshop delves into the concept of the “dignity of risk,” emphasizing the importance of allowing youth to make choices, experience consequences, and learn from their experiences. By fostering an environment where young adults can step out of their comfort zones, we empower them to build confidence, resilience, and self-reliance. Participants will explore:

The significance of allowing youth to face challenges and learn from them.
Strategies to support young adults in making informed decisions.
The balance between guidance and granting independence.
Real-life examples of successful risk-taking leading to growth.
Join us in this empowering session to understand how embracing the dignity of risk can pave the way for a brighter, more independent future for our youth.
