Special Note from Session Facilitators:
"We are opening up 25 more spaces for this session SPECIFICALLY for PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES/CHRONIC ILLNESS. ASL will be provided. If you are not a person with disabilities/chronic illness, please de-select the session."


Disability, short/long term, is part of life. We'll all need care, or be asked to give care. Caregivers are among the most needed yet least valued. How do we build grassroots care/healing networks?
