UTICA, NY – Disability advocate Teena Fitzroy will speak with local families in the community as Upstate Cerebral Palsy hosts the second session of the two-part series called Cultivating Healthy Relationships for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities on June 7th.
Teena Fitzroy is a wife, mother of three, and grandmother of six. Teena also has cerebral palsy — but that does not define her.

She continues to speak to groups of all ages, sharing the story of her journey.
Teena will present information for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities regarding how they can build positive relationships. Topics will include tips for self-advocating healthy relationships as well as discussions around the importance of mutually beneficial relationships with romantic interests, families, friends, and the community at large. Teena will share personal experiences as a person with a disability on how she was able to get to her current happy, healthy life with positive relationships in it.
