*Within 2 weeks of registering, registrants of this webinar series will receive email instructions for how to access a viewing of the film, Being Michelle, if interested. Viewing the film is not a prerequisite for attending the sessions, but is strongly encouraged, as it provides context and perspectives that are equally beneficial and enhance the overall experience.

*Note - Due to the nature of the content and active participation required, these sessions will not be recorded for asynchronous learning. For those who attend the live sessions, please use a laptop or desktop computer with a camera - other smart, handheld devices are not sufficient and refunds will not be issued if this is an oversight on the part of the participant. *
