Upcoming FSIBC Zoom Conversations
https://mailchi.mp/fsibc/jan3?e=2c975e4e6a
Our Zoom conversations are a safe space for families and caregivers to come together for support, camaraderie, inspiration, trouble-shooting, and sharing what’s hard. Some of these sessions are by theme/topic and others are for general conversation and engagement. Whatever you might be feeling right now — overwhelmed, sadness, fear, anxiety — you are not alone.
You can also subscribe to their newsletter by clicking here.
