Events and Forums

DD Community Forums

BHDDH holds virtual DD Community Forums every three months. The forums are free and open to anyone interested in joining.

At the community forums, individuals will learn BHDDH news and updates from Director Kevin Savage and other members of the team. This is also a great event for BHDDH to learn more from the community. BHDDH welcomes feedback from the community. 

The forums take place on Zoom and are hosted by Advocates in Action. There is an option to join online or call into the forum. All forums are recorded, and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters are present at the event.
