A new way to connect<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

One of the most requested parts of Family Fun Day is the chance to meet other families who get it<\/em>. This year, we’re excited to be introducing something brand new<\/strong> to make those connections even easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time ever, Family Fun Day will include structured meet-and-connect sessions<\/strong>, bringing together families who have similar circumstances. These relaxed, welcoming meet-up opportunities are designed to help spark conversations, share experiences, and build relationships, whether it’s swapping stories, tips, or simply putting faces to familiar names!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll also have the chance to connect with key DSV staff<\/strong>, ask questions, and learn more about supports and opportunities relevant to your stage of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether this is your first Family Fun Day or you’ve been attending for years, these new sessions are a wonderful opportunity to connect more deeply with our community, while still enjoying all the fun of the day.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
