Whether you are caring for an elderly parent with dementia, a spouse or partner, a child or a sibling with developmental disabilities, or another family member, there is no question that continuous caregiving can, at times, be overwhelming. November is a time to recognize and honor family caregivers across the country, offering an opportunity to raise awareness of caregiving issues, educate communities, and increase support for caregivers.

We are excited to share the second digital edition of our magazine, My Life Now.

After a successful decade as a print magazine, The Community Living Education Project (CLEP) re-launched this publication in an online and interactive format.

Our mission for this publication remains the same: to spotlight individuals who have transitioned from developmental centers, nursing homes, or family homes to vibrant community settings.  We celebrate their journeys of empowerment and self-discovery and share how they have embraced choice and control in their lives.

Each issue tells the story one individual CLEP has supported as they explored community living options. In this second edition, we introduce Shannon Lewis and her mother, Anna Marie Perrone.
