Extend-A-Family Waterloo Region – 91 Moore Avenue, Waterloo
Extend-A-Family is hosting a Living Library, where you can engage with their Human Books – no actual reading required. These Human Books will be sharing their stories with us, and we in turn can come with the curiosity to learn more. All Human Books are people with lived experience of having a disability. Each of their stories will explore their journey to health and happiness through connecting with others.
Are you an open book? Do you defy stereotypes or misconceptions about disability? Do you have a story about how your relationships and connections to others bring health and happiness to your life? Consider becoming a Human Book! Fill out Extend-A-Family’s online form and you could become part of the Living Library.
