Session 5: It Takes a Village - How Your ‘Village’ Can Support a Stoma Warrior
May 13th at 6:30pm | With CCI Interim COO Victoria Spillane
Living with a stoma doesn’t just affect the individual, it touches families, schools, universities, workplaces, friends, and entire communities. In this important closing session, CCI Interim COO Victoria Spillane explores how the people around a stoma warrior can provide meaningful, practical, and compassionate support in everyday life.
This session will offer guidance for:
- Schools, teachers & SNA teams supporting young people with a stoma
- Universities, employers & workplaces providing reasonable accommodations
- Partners, family members & friends building understanding and confidence
- Any “village” wanting to create a safe, inclusive environment
