This Month’s Advocacy Cafe Session

Jennifer Milligan of ARC New Mexico joins us to talk about Disability Pride Month.

Jen has spent the majority of her career in the nonprofit field. The last 5 have been spent serving individuals living with I/DD. She comes to Albuquerque as a recent transplant from Durango Colorado where she was once a residential program manager and a contracted family style care provider to two adults living with I/DD. New to the Albuquerque area and to the Arc, Jen and her team are leading the way with a pilot program, providing sexual assault advocacy services specific to survivors living with I/DD.
