There’s no one right way to look, dress, or be. This session is a chance to explore what confidence means to you, what beauty looks like on your terms, and how you can express yourself in ways that feel joyful, comfortable, and true.
Who This Is For
Young women ages 18 to 22 with communication disabilities who want to explore body image, self-expression, and disability pride.
What to Expect
Join us for a 60-minute workshop on Beauty, Style & Confidence, led by an amazing facilitator. We’ll explore how beauty and confidence can look different for everyone and how you can define both on your own terms.
Accessibility and Participation
You are welcome to participate in whatever way works best for you, whether that’s speaking, typing, using AAC, camera on or off, or just listening. Let us know about any access needs in your registration form, and we’ll do our best to support them.
What You’ll Take With You
• A personal reflection on what beauty means to you
• New tools to express yourself through style, voice, or creativity
• Pride in how you move through the world
• More joy in showing up as yourself
• Confidence shaped by your values, not by outside expectations
Think of this workshop as: “Here’s how I see myself, and I like what I see.”

Financial planning can feel overwhelming for many people with disabilities, especially when saving money may affect important benefits.

This special session of the H.E.R. initiative is open to women of all ages seeking clear, practical guidance on financial tools that support independence and financial security.
Your mental health deserves care, just like everything else you’re building. In this session, you’ll discover calming routines, emotional check-in tools, and ways to ask for support in ways that work for you. Leave with strategies to protect your energy, care for your mind, and move forward with strength.
Your identity is yours to define. This session is about seeing yourself fully—and helping others do the same. You’ll explore how to describe your disability on your own terms and feel proud doing it. You’ll also reflect on what drives you, build confidence in how you show up in school, at work, and in group settings, and strengthen your voice across different parts of your life.
