Welcome
Navigating disability requires time, paperwork and so many phone calls. It can feel isolating and overwhelming. This course is about YOU- how to truly care for yourself so you can continue creating the best for your family. Through VELA's interactive 5 session course, you will learn and practice skills for real self-care and wellbeing. Join VELA to gain knowledge, empowerment, resilience and community. You can also check out other course options and/or register for support group.
We look forward to meeting you in person on or the screen!
