Marrakech is the "Living Example of Blue Space"

On May 29, 2014, Marrakech representatives were invited to attend a "Creating Blue Space" Training at the NEAT Marketplace in Hartford.  We were one of only 8 private agencies invited to attend this occasion, alongside our colleagues at the Department of Developmental Services.  Bobby Peterson, Heather LaTorra, Lisa Mierek, and Corinne Jackson represented Marrakech.

It is a rare occasion that we are able to attend a full day of training with our colleagues, where we are not discussing rules, regulations and policies, but instead discussing what matters most to all of us collectively - making sure Connecticut provides the greatest person-centered supports for individuals with Intellectual Disabilities.  The problem solving, brainstorming of outcomes and action items that were developed at this meeting have already been implemented at Marrakech.

The group was led by two high caliber, renowned individuals in the field of Intellectual Disabilities, Hanns Meissner and Beth Mount.  We were thrilled that the author of "Creating Blue Space", Hanns Meissner, recognized Marrakech as a progressive organization in this area and personally signed our copy of his book.
