Yet there are moments when we also know that like it or not\, it’s time to talk. In June we’re excited to welcome Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker Erika Figueira-Basheer as our guest presenter. Erika will give us tips for figuring out why we’re avoiding a conversation\, thinking through what we want to say (and how we want to say it)\, and stepping beyond our fear to invite healthy\, honest dialogue with the people we love.  Register here! \n  \n\n     \n
