Fostering Joy Forum Presents - Rooted in Joy: Identity, Access, and Belonging

Date: Tuesday, April 21st, 2026
Time: 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm MT

https://handsandvoices.org/registrations/fostering-joy-reg.html

What does joy look like in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (D/HH) experience? Too often, conversations focus on challenges, barriers, or systems. This forum shifts the lens. Together, we will explore the power of joy as told through lived experience—by individuals who are D/HH. Hosted by Hands & Voices, this conversation celebrates identity, connection, growth, and belonging. Through personal stories and shared reflections, this session will highlight everyday moments that make the D/HH journey meaningful and vibrant. Whether you are a chapter leader, family member, professional, or community partner, you are invited to listen, learn, and reflect on how we can intentionally foster joy—in our programs, in our leadership, and in our relationships... Because joy is not an afterthought. It’s foundational.

Presenters: Thomas Horejes, Ph.D. and Heidi Klomhaus

Today is International Cochlear Implant Day!

We recognize cochlear implants as one of many tools that can support access to sound and language for some deaf and hard of hearing children and adults. At Hands & Voices, we know there’s no one “right” choice—only what works best for each child and family. Today, we’re celebrating informed choice, respect for different paths, and all the ways our community connects and communicates.
