Please join us for the ongoing community discussion of A Better Normal, our ongoing series in which we envision the future as trauma-informed.
College graduates across the world have been celebrating their big day virtually this month, missing out on the right of passage that marks their stepping into new realms of adult and professional life. Many students and recent graduates are feeling the negative impact of the current pandemic: being housing displaced, adjusting to virtual classrooms, and facing more limited career and economic opportunities.
Please join for a discussion with Dr. Carol A. Dolan and Laura Hofmann, MA in Education, on Tuesday June 2, 2020 at Noon PDT // 3:00 PM EDT, moderated by Alison Cebulla, ACEs Connection Community Facilitator for the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic.
Our current capacity is 100 participants, so please join us on time and we will enter people until we reach capacity. These will be recorded and available on the ACEsConnection website and YouTube channel.
