"I'm a Free Man!" were some of the first words Ahmad shared after regaining his guardianship in May of 2016. Ahmad is a recent graduate from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro's 4 year certificate program in Integrative Community Studies. Join us to hear about the journey of Ahmad and his family over the past 27 years. We will share about our experiences, the power of networking, overcoming difficulties, and setting high goals. By the end of the session, participants will be able to 1. identify the importance of building strong relationships and connections which lead to a meaningful life 2. Identify specific ways to allow someone to make choices of their own without taking full guardianship 3. demonstrate an understanding of additional options to guardianship and how to provide support as needed 4. Identify the importance of allowing one to make their own choices and learn from natural consequences
