The Carter Centre Charity’s "Finding Your Village" event, held last week in Bermuda, gathered parents, caregivers and local service providers to discuss support options for adults with disabilities. The event featured interactive workshops and information booths, providing families with practical resources and networking opportunities.

Bermuda Minister of Health and Wellness Tinee Furbert attended the gathering, underscoring the government’s commitment to inclusive care. In a statement, the minister praised the collaboration between the charity and community stakeholders, noting that such initiatives help bridge gaps in local services.

Local experts highlighted the need for expanded training for caregivers and improved accessibility in public spaces. Participants also explored ways to integrate community-based programs with existing health and social support structures.

The Carter Centre Charity plans to follow up with a series of regional seminars, inviting more families and professionals across the island to share experiences. By fostering dialogue between families and providers, the initiative aims to strengthen Bermuda’s inclusive environment and ensure that adults with disabilities receive the care and opportunities they deserve.
