SUMMARY:Fostering Joy Forum Presents - Rooted in Joy: Identity\, Access\, and Belonging
DESCRIPTION:04/21/26\n1:00pm – 2:00pm (MT) \nWhat 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\nlens. Together\, we will explore the power of joy as told through lived\nexperience—by individuals who are D/HH. Hosted by Hands & Voices\, this conversation celebrates\nidentity\, connection\, growth\, and belonging. Through personal stories and\nshared reflections\, this session will highlight everyday moments that make the\nD/HH journey meaningful and vibrant. Whether you are a chapter leader\, family\nmember\, professional\, or community partner\, you are invited to listen\, learn\,\nand reflect on how we can intentionally foster joy—in our programs\, in our\nleadership\, and in our relationships… Because joy is not an\nafterthought. It’s foundational. \nRegister here https://handsandvoices.org/registrations/fostering-joy-reg.html

Attendees will leave with\nrenewed confidence and a practical framework for turning challenging\nconversations into opportunities for growth\, alignment\, and stronger\ncollaboration. \nRegister https://handsandvoices.org/registrations/l2l-fl3/
