Participants need to be able to attend both sessions. Spaces are limited to 30 participants for this professional learning series, so registrations are limited to two participants only per service. Because of space limitations we hope to offer additional sessions in early 2024. We aim to create a waitlist and contact those services when we intend to run another round of this professional learning.
