Lawrence will present a slideshow and DVD about the California Mentor Network, a “national network of local health and human services providers offering an array of quality, community-based services to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, brain and spinal cord injuries and other catastrophic injuries and illnesses, and to youth with emotional, behavioral and medically complex challenges, as well as their families; and to elders in need of support.”

Lawrence said her program will “offer information on how individuals in the community can make $1,000 to $5,000 a month from home by matching with a person with intellectual or developmental disabilities to live in their spare bedroom and mentor them towards a better quality of life and independence within their abilities to do so.”
