We’re excited to welcome school counselors and social workers back for the second year of Together at the Table 🫶🏼

Last year reminded us that some of the most meaningful learning happens when we simply sit down together, share ideas, and remind one another that we’re not in this work by ourselves. This work was never meant to be done alone. ✨
