C.I.T.Y’s Bi-Annual Professional Networking Event

You and a colleague are invited to join us for our Fall 2024 C.I.T.Y. Sponsor Soiree!

These bi-annual events are the perfect way to meet other C.I.T.Y. Supporters, share information about your business, and learn about other resources in the community. Networking not only leads to stronger professional relationships, but also builds trust among your clients, as you provide more knowledgeable suggestions and referrals for care.

As can be the case with free events (and maybe you know from personal experience), we understand that attendance can be unpredictable. We want this event to be a success, so we ask you to please be mindful of your RSVP and plan to attend if you reply “yes.” Early responses are extremely appreciated.

We hope to see you on the 7th! Please email us with any questions: hello@cityofsupport.org.

"Let's Meet" Parent Retreat

Parents! This in-person retreat was designed just for you! Mark it on your calendar, and line up the babysitters now, so you can treat yourself to this day of connecting and learning! This is a day that will benefit you AND your child–we hope you’ll join us!

A﻿nd, thanks to a very generous donation from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, this program is offered AT NO COST to parents!

This year, we are focusing on the overall theme of communication and “Navigating Tough Conversations.” Our line-up of speakers includes adults with disabilities, parents of children with disabilities, and professionals who work with families on this journey. We will explore strategies, resources, and advice that will make communication more effective among friends/family, our children’s treatment team, the general community, and each other.

Space is limited! As an incentive to register early, ONLY those who register before September 1st will be included in our raffle to receive an exclusive self-care gift package at the retreat. Register now!

NEW this year is an option to extend the event with social activities following the workshop, where parents can continue to make connections among themselves in a fun, casual atmosphere.
