Thriving in a Virtual World
We have had a busy summer adapting and adjusting to the changes around us and, as a result, we are thriving in our virtual world! We want all of you to thrive along with us, so we have several new projects that we are ready to share, as well as one major exciting announcement. Let’s start with the exciting news!
In our Asset Building Continuum, we acknowledge that “Access” is one of the most critical components of economic stability. With the emergence of COVID-19, we have witnessed and experienced how important it is to have access to technology and the digital/virtual world.
We also know that just having the technology itself does not guarantee that people know how to fully utilize it. There are many other barriers that might exist. Knowledge of how to use technology is a major component to accessing the digital and virtual world that has become such a central part of our daily economic lives.
Thriving in a Virtual World
Through our partnership with Rocky Mountain Human Services, our ResourceAbility program will be delivering a new project titled “Thriving in a Virtual World.” This project will ensure the Denver I/DD community has a safe, engaging and supportive space to access and utilize the digital and virtual world. We cannot express our gratitude enough to RMHS for trusting us to be the leader on this exciting collaboration for the I/DD community!
