This is a really important webinar, especially if like me you're thinking about whether parent peer advocacy could be set up in your area and wanting to learn from the experiences of those who have done it.

Let's run with that. I feel your optimism!

Ha! I'm hoping that the fields are golden here in bsky. We shall see. It's good to be back in touch with you all!
