SALINA, Kan. — Kansans who are aging, their families, and those who provide care or support are invited to attend The Power of Advocacy: From Awareness to Action, a free educational session hosted by OCCK, Inc. on Thursday, November 6th, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at OCCK, 1710 W. Schilling Rd., Salina, or virtually via Zoom.
This month’s discussion is designed specifically for Older Kansans, as well as the people who support them — family members, caregivers, friends, and professionals. Led by Rocky Nichols, Executive Director of the Disability Rights Center of Kansas (DRC), the session will focus on how recent and upcoming changes in Kansas law may impact independence, care options, and everyday life as people age. Attendees will learn about their rights, how to advocate for themselves or someone they support, and where to find reliable information and resources.
