We will be doing an advocacy training between 1pm- 2pm for anyone interested in learning new, or further developing, advocacy skills.

In a show of presence and unity, we are encouraging everyone to wear the “It’s OK Not to Be OK” T-shirt. This is not a requirement. If interested in purchasing one, they can be found here:
