Monday Night Support Group


This group will be meeting every Monday night via Zoom. The intention of this support group is the sharing of anything you are feeling, trying to manage or struggling with. It is intended as a way to connect with colleagues, to know you are not in this alone and feel a sense of belonging. We laugh, we cry, we BE together. Email Pam at pmoore@sbnm.org or Briggs Cheney at BCheney@DSC-LAW.com and you will receive an email back with the Zoom link.
