With the educational license $ 75 when a screening is held in a K12 school, our members chose to pursue this opportunity and connect with colleagues in local schools in preparation for a screening in the fall. Dana shared that San Diego is hosting a Resilience screening on June 21st and they are invited to engage in the opportunity.
Chosen Meeting Schedule
Through consensus, we chose to hold monthly meetings and continue to build capacity on our traction and momentum. These meetings will be the third Wednesday evening of each month, from 6:00 pm 8:00 pm, at the lovely Laguna Woods Village Community Center.
