SUMMARY:Direct Support Professionals – Accompanying People in their Spiritual Journeys
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, February 15\nTime: 2 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. CT / 12 p.m. MT / 11 a.m. PT \nRegister Online\n  \n\n \nLearn more about the full series \n\nHelping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities discover and find belonging in a faith community of their choice can be daunting. Support staff come from different traditions or may have no religious background. Discovering the “right fit” can be tricky. Accompanying someone on their spiritual journey is about more than attending. The Direct Support Professional (DSP) may need to be a guide\, coach\, and community builder! The work can be meaningful and rewarding\, calling on DSPs to acknowledge their own spiritual biases as they help people find a community of belonging. This session provides practical tips for support teams\, from making initial contacts and introductions to helping build relationships between the people you support and members of a church\, synagogue\, or mosque. \nSpeaker Bios\nBill Gaventa is an author\, speaker\, trainer\, and consultant primarily in the arena of faith and disability. He is the founder and Director Emeritus of the Summer Institute of Theology and Disability and the current Director of the National Collaborative on Faith and Disability.

His primary areas of experience and expertise include spiritual and faith-based supports with people with disabilities\, training for clergy\, seminarians\, and community services staff\, aging\, end of life/grief issues in intellectual and developmental disabilities\, cultural competence\, and community building. He served as the President of American Association of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities from 2016-2017. He was Editor of the Journal of Religion\, Disability and Health for 14 years\, and is author of Spirituality and Disability: Recovering Wholeness published by Baylor University Press in 2018. \nKeith Dow\, PhD. (he/him) lives near Ottawa\, Ontario and serves as the Manager of Organizational and Spiritual Life with Christian Horizons (christianhorizons.org).
