This year’s conference will focus on how we live, grow, and thrive together by gaining understanding about the challenges some people who learn differently face. Dr. Katie Rose Guest Pryal, will speak about living with a neurodivergent mind and how her mental health advocacy has helped raise awareness about the systemic inequities that exist.
Please plan to join us following the conference for a Community Resource Fair featuring organizations, services, and resources that support our community. Additional details and participating organizations will be announced as they become available.
