Workshops
ADNet representatives present workshops in various settings. Here you will find handouts and other resource materials we have developed for these workshops.
ADNet presented "Supportive Care Revisited" at Mennonite Health Assembly 2009. It grew out of our ongoing review of the booklet, Supportive Care in the Congregation , and how the model in proposed has been implemented since the booklet was first published in 1986. The following are handouts developed for this workshop.

A Healing Community in an Overstimulated World is a workshop first presented at Mennonite Health Assembly 2008. Responding thoughtfully to the needs of our brothers and sisters with sensory differences may give our congregations new ways to build a truly healing community for all people in the midst of bombarding stimulation in our modern world.
