Real Talk

Our Real Talk Workshop Series are ‘learning conversations’ that help strengthen the community’s understanding and knowledge around difficult issues that impact families and children. By creating 'safe spaces' to discuss these issues, the hope is for participants to gain insight and have informed interactions, decision-making, and service delivery.

Topics vary, and have included racial equity, homelessness, addiction and more.
