Join Carmen Saur, Program Specialist with the Department of Mental Health/Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, to learn more about Life Sharing and whether it may be a good support option for you or your loved one. This session will provide an overview of what Life Sharing is, what the experience looks like for individuals and Life Sharing providers, and who may be a good candidate. Carmen will also discuss how Life Sharing is funded, how individuals are matched with providers, what supports are available, and what families and individuals should consider when exploring this option.
