Please join South Sound Parent To Parent and Chris Heimrel in a facilitated discussion that is designed exclusively for families who
have children with disabilities or special needs. This evening’s conversation will help you identify sources of stress and guide you to the
discovery of healing responses that will benefit all members of your family. Drawing on his experience as a parent of a child with
developmental disabilities, Chris has an enduring sense of urgency and compassion for the struggles of families.  Chris has had a long and
stimulating career of nearly 40 years in a variety of human service capacities. He is most curious about how communities embrace
individuals who have challenging behaviors. His passion is driven by the many individuals and their families whose advocacy bravely define
innovations and those who languish in response to inadequate support. He is currently a consultant to the New Mexico Department of
Health, Office of Behavioral Support.  A light supper and beverages will be available at 5:30, and the event will begin at 6:00.  Located
near Yelm Highway and College Avenue, the Jacob Smith House is an accessible historic home operated by the City of Lacey.  
Participation is limited to the first 20 respondents. Please register by calling Sheila at 360.352.1126 ext. 101.  Thank you.

WHEN: Wednesday, June 6th       WHERE: Jacob Smith House, 4500 Intelco Loop SE, Lacey, WA      DURATION: 5:30 - 8:00 PM

Moving to Managed Health Care for Individuals Receiving SSI-Medicaid
In the next few months, Washington State will be moving to managed health care for individuals who receive SSI Medicaid (but
not Medicaid/Medicare). This move will be mandatory for everyone on SSI who does not live in a long term care facility or
Residential Habilitation Center.  Two Informing Families Building Trust Bulletins and a related podcast detail important things you
need to know if you are impacted by this change.
