Coming Soon! | Supporting People with Access & Functional Needs Training [PAFN]

The purpose of this workshop is to educate the participants about People with Access and Functional Needs. It is expected that the clients of an Emergency Respite Center (ERC) may be people with access and functional needs. ERC staff needs to be able to identify different types of access and functional needs and have the necessary understanding for how to help those with access and functional needs.
