And that’s a wrap on Where We Belong! 💛

What an incredible two days of connection, learning, laughter, and celebration at the conference presented by Speak Up Self-Advocacy Awareness - SUSA Society

One of the most meaningful moments came during the closing session, when everyone had the opportunity to share what stood out to them and what they would take away from the experience.

Hearing those reflections was such a wonderful reminder of why opportunities like this matter. Bringing people together to share experiences, learn from one another, build relationships, and have their voices heard is what community inclusion is all about.

It was a privilege for KSCI to help bring this event to life and to connect with and learn from so many wonderful people along the way.

A huge congratulations to SUSA and everyone who helped make Where We Belong possible!

The Pride Open House is a great opportunity to celebrate connection, visibility, and the importance of creating communities where everyone feels welcome, valued, and free to be themselves.
