Unlock Access to FOUNDATIONS: Introducing the SHARE Scholarship Program!
At Among Friends, we believe that everyone who supports individuals with complex needs deserves the tools to foster healthy sexuality, relationships, and self-determination.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our SHARE Scholarship Program (Sexual Health And Relationships Education) offering 5 full scholarships (100% off) and 5 discount scholarships (50% off) for our upcoming Tier 1: FOUNDATIONS course!
In addition, Among Friends is inviting parents and professionals who support someone with complex needs to nominate a Self-Advocate they feel would benefit from the Tier 1: FOUNDATIONS Workshop. Two nominees will be selected to receive free registration for the event!
The FOUNDATIONS training will take place virtually from September 24 to 26, 2025, and is open to anyone nationwide. Click here to learn more…
