Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. Proposed HCBS Lifespan Waiver: Announcing a Family/Guardian/Youth  Stakeholder Informational and Listening Session Please join the Office of Aging and Disability Services (OADS) and Maine Parent Federation (MPF) as we receive questions and comments in a listening session.  The session is oriented toward families and youth (14-22 years old) who are currently managing or anticipating a transition to adult services.  We would like to hear about the challenges this group faces and also hear input to how the proposed Lifespan waiver could offer resources to improve this experience.  This Zoom session will also allow youth and their families to learn more about the proposed waiver concept. We will include a brief high-level review of the Lifespan design and updates based on feedback from the Concept Paper comment period. Please use the link below to register for the Zoom session. Dates/Times: Tuesday, October 24, 2023, from 11:30 AM to 1:00PM Zoom Registration: https://mainestate.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0ud-2rqT4oGt1NdfO2nj5KoLeouCv1pFcp State-Wide Tour OADS also is offering a series of in-person events across the state with Providers, Waiver Members, and their Family Members. Providers will be asked to attend the provider-specific sessions to promote active interaction. The meeting spaces have a person limit, and we want to house the meeting adequately, so we need to know how many people to expect. Meeting locations may change depending on the size of the response to the sessions. If that happens, we will notify registrants. Registration Form for In-Person Events: https://forms.office.com/g/g6wrMSxJAr There will also be online video sessions: Please use the link below to register for the Zoom sessions.
