SPRING 2026 COHORT IS NOW OPEN

Join Dr. Gillian Boudreau for an eight-session, Reflective Practice Group. Stewarding kids through challenging times is a big responsibility, and at times nearly impossible. Many of us also work within crumbling systems that require more of our heart and soul than we are able to give. Reflective practice is a time honored tool to help helpers ask the important question “Am I okay?” and if not, “What can I do about it?” in safe community with those grappling with the same questions.
