2023 SPIN Conference “It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint: Part 2”
We’re back in person at the UH Campus Center for our 37th annual SPIN Conference and we offered a virtual option to Zoom into the live workshops – our first hybrid event! In order to share these amazing workshops with everyone, anytime, SPIN worked with our wonderful speakers to do a separate recording of each workshop that could be captioned and posted to the SPIN Conference website and we are so happy to share these gems of knowledge, inspiration and hope with you!
2022 SPIN Conference “It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint: Part 1”
We planned to hold the 2022 conference in person, but life had other plans, so we shifted once again to a virtual event for our October 22, 2022 event. We chose to have a mini conference, focusing on 3 “Marathon Skills” families can use as they raise their child with a disability. Skill #2: Take Time for Yourself – is showcased beautifully in the “Find Your Pace, Find Your Peace” workshop with Dr. Thao Le & Benjamin Chu. Skill #4: Build a Network of Supports – takes you on a journey to create a care map for your child in the workshop “Mapping the Course” led by our SPIN Advisory Committee. Skill #5: Know Yourself and Your Family – is about managing stress in your ohana and Dr. Matthew Wappet uses humor and science in his workshop “Resilience for the Long Run” to help us manage stress. Each workshop also has a coordinating infographic to share.
