New Session of Springfield-basedMaking Healthy ConnectionsStarting Soon! We are currently inviting all youth with disabilities and/or special health care needs, ages 14-22, to apply to participate in Making Healthy Connections (MHC), a program of Partners for Youth with Disabilities. Making Healthy Connections is a transitions program for youth with disabilities and/or special health care needs who are 14 to 22 years of age. Youth will have opportunities to meet new friends with similar disabilities and learn information about topics such as their health care needs, independent living, fitness, talking to their health care providers independently, adaptive driving, and much more. Making Healthy Connections also features a variety of adaptive sports and recreation activities to make every meeting interactive and fun! There is a parent group component as well. Making Healthy Connections Springfield program meetings will begin in early January 2015 and run until June of 2015. Meetings take place two Saturdayafternoons per month in West Springfield from 1pm-4 pm. The annual program fee is $75 (sliding scale arrangements are available for any family unable to afford the total amount). Please help us reach young people with disabilities who will benefit from this important program!
