Providers Thriving Together — Doing the Work You Love
September 23 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Join us for the Providers Thriving Together series, part of the Thriving Project initiative. These free virtual drop-in sessions provide a facilitated space to experience camaraderie and peer support in the service of activating our collective resilience. At the sessions, presenters – usually rural peers from around the province—will share practices, frameworks or ideas they’ve found useful. Sessions will prioritize time for exploring these themes in both small and large groups.
