3.21 Magazine Issue 20: The Money Issue

The New Money Issue of 3.21 Magazine is Here!

It is becoming more and more difficult for families of all types to make ends meet on a day-to-day basis, let alone build long-term wealth. In this edition of 3.21, we equip you to make wise financial decisions in both the short and long term.

You’ll find practical advice for developing money management skills, budgeting tips from self-advocates, a sibling caregiver’s experience taking over financial planning with her brother, an in-depth review of financial supports in Canada, and answers to some of the most-asked financial planning questions in the disability community.

Preregister for The New Mindsets Wellness Program

Joining Mindsets is your first step towards building healthy habits that focus on fitness, nutrition, and self-care. This free program was created based on the results of the Mindsets Study to give adults with Down syndrome the tools needed for a healthy, happy, active, lifestyle through adulthood and aging.

Learning Together in the School Community

The CDSS Education Hub is filled with shareable, printable resources and quick guides that include practical tips and suggestions to help support students as they learn together in the school community.
