Networking Meetings are online (on Zoom video conference) every Thursday from 6:00 - 7:00 pm and include an educational topic led by one of our group members. The last meeting of each month is a planning meeting to decide topics for the next month.

The next meeting: February 6 will be our monthly networking and planning meeting. Come to network with others and discuss your ideas about topics related to peer support or supervision that you would be willing to lead a meeting and share.
