This third annual Skin-in-the-Game workshop provides practical guidance for clergy, children/youth leaders and parents, and features Evanston Township High Shool's Dr. Marcus Campbell, Aracely Canchola, and Taya Kinzie, LSCW, engaging attendees in a deeper look at the interconnectedness of race and well-being. They will reflect on personal identity and biases as related to our relationships with others. You'll learn how healing-centered engagement, restorative practices, and sustaining practices are all key to understanding the needs in the lives of those you serve and support. Register online by August 29. $25 fee includes lunch. CEUs available.
