SESSION OVERVIEW
Connecting to Ourselves and as a Community
The presentation will begin with a benefit finding exercise. We are going to look at different points of the story and think of the benefit that he gained and how times of adversity led him to live a life of purpose and advocacy. Each individual at the training will be walked through the exercise. This has been a year of setbacks for LGBTQ+ individuals but collectively the community will come back stronger.
