The Inland Regional Center (IRC) proudly announced the success of two impactful Blue Envelope Training sessions held earlier this month. These events, designed to enhance communication and foster inclusiveness between first responders and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), brought together key stakeholders from across the community.
Board and Care Training
The first session, held on January 8, 2025, welcomed Board and Care vendors to IRC. This training provided an in-depth introduction to the Blue Envelope Program, emphasizing its significance, practical functionality, and strategies for seamless integration into daily interactions. At the conclusion of the training, vendors received Blue Envelope car decals for their company vehicles, as well as lanyards, bracelets, and keychains for the clients residing in their facilities—ensuring the program’s visibility and accessibility for those it serves.
Parent and Client Training Day
The second event, a large-scale community training held on January 11, 2025, brought together parents and clients at IRC. Organized in collaboration with local agencies—including the Autism Society Inland Empire (ASIE) and various law enforcement agencies—the session equipped attendees with essential tools for fostering positive and compassionate interactions between first responders and individuals with disabilities.
