Grand Traverse Industries GTI strengthens and advances the dignity and opportunities of people with disabilities. Part of this includes plastic bag manufacturing.

Grand Traverse Industries provides job training, supported employment and day programs to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

This crew just completed an 8-week course on Healthy Relationships, taught by the wonderful Dayna Ryan! 🎉💙

Some of the key topics they explored were:

🗣️🤝 Respectful communication — learning how to speak and listen so people truly feel heard
🚫🗨️ The dangers of gossip — understanding its impact and how to walk away from it
🚩 Recognizing relationship red flags — knowing the difference between care and control

Please join us in congratulating these incredible folks for their hard work and growth! 👏✨

Our executive team was happy to attend the Northern Michigan Policy Conference put on by Traverse Connect and Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa alongside leaders and legislators from across Northern Michigan. We appreciated the opportunity to learn more about current policy issues, and share perspectives on how decisions made on the state level may impact the disability community.

People with disabilities aren’t so different from anybody else. They have feelings, dreams, and interests. A disability may change how someone moves through the world—but it doesn’t make a person less human💙🧡
