Walk away with practical tools\, inspiration\, and the confidence to begin honoring your past as a powerful guide for your future. \nNote: This month’s Women’s Group will meet jointly with the Assistive Technology Group. Shandra will be leading a discussion on family storytelling and the resilience that grows from these shared connections. \n— \nAre you feeling isolated and bored?
