Community Living Skills Workshops

UPDATE ON CLS WORKSHOPS (9/10/2025): Due to recent organizational changes, we are not currently providing Community Living Skills Workshops in-office or in the community. We hope to resume workshops in 2026. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Access 2 Independence is now offering Community Living Skills (CLS) workshops for individuals with disabilities who would like to further develop their independent living skills! These interactive group workshops are designed to provide introductory information on a variety of independent living topics, including:

Workshop participants can:

Build a support network with peers in the disability community
Explore options and possibilities for setting personal goals
Get information on skills and resources for living and participating in the community
Build confidence and comfort in decision making and problem solving

All workshops are free; there is no cost to attend. Workshops are intended for individuals who self-identify as having a disability, mental health condition, and/or chronic health condition (rather than family members or service providers). Attendees must live in one of the 8 eastern Iowa counties we serve (Benton, Cedar, Jones, Henry, Johnson, Linn, Iowa, or Washington county).

Advanced registration is required to attend.
