The “Caring for Adults with Disabilities Study” – Webinar

April 14, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Event Navigation

The “Caring for Adults with Disabilities Study” Project SEARCH is committed to supporting health and wellness during transition to employment. The changes that transition brings can be exciting as well as stressful for transitioning adults as new opportunities and challenges are navigated. With these new experiences, new health promotion needs arise. This webinar addresses the health promotion needs of transition-age adults with developmental disabilities. These health promotion needs are similar to those of other young adults entering college and the workforce, yet a lack of accessible health promotion campaigns for transition-age persons with developmental disabilities exist. Nurses, as champions for health promotion and prevention throughout the lifespan, are uniquely poised to support transition-age adults with developmental disabilities through the transition period and fill in the wide health promotion chasm to promote a positive, healthy transition experience.
