Photovoice is an innovative way to reflect, talk, learn, share, and make a difference for yourself and others. It is a straightforward method that fosters patient, family, and community dialog.

Photovoice puts cameras in the hands of people with valuable life experiences so they can explore and share their perspectives on health, family, community, and their futures. Using photovoice, participants can encourage discussion, investigate experiences, highlight social justice issues, collaborate for change, identify needs, and more.

This workshop is hosted in-person and by video conferencing, starting at 1:00 p.m. MDT.

If participating in person at our Connections office at 1331 8th Avenue, Greeley, Colorado 80631, you must wear a face mask, regardless of vaccination status. Please arrive ten minutes early to the workshops. Remote video conferencing participants will be provided the workshop login information.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, people across the globe have realized the threat of social isolation. But for people with disabilities, social isolation has been an ongoing epidemic. While things have undoubtedly gotten worse as the pandemic has progressed, 35-45% of people with disabilities were profoundly socially isolated even before COVID. We are creating opportunities that enable play in order to combat social isolation, foster inclusive communities, and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities.

In this workshop, participants learn about gaming through available game consoles such as Playstation and Nintendo, and through Internet game applications and programs. A limited number of devices are available for free use from Connections.
