Al CondeluciHaving a network of meaningful relationships—called "social capital"—is a critical component of building a healthy, happy life for all people. Internationally respected scholar Dr. Al Condeluci will examine the importance of social capital for people who have disabilities, how friendships can be better developed, and how this leads to inclusive, vibrant communities.

The morning session will cover the realities of relationships and the impact of social capital in our lives. We will examine social capital and the impact of community engagement.

The afternoon session will focus on strategies of building social capital and ways to develop friendships. Al will engage us in exercises to help frame concepts.
