Be the change you want, hero day June 13
It is a busy week at Imaginif this week:
Three trainings:
Our infamous fortnightly network lunch (we have small groups of people come and lunch with us so that we can network and stay on top of community information): This week we are meeting with guidance officers.
Regular counselling and supervision loads for talk doctors Megan and Rebekah: Fran is on holidays so there’s no extra person to cope with phone and administration.
If I fail to respond to comments or update the blog this week I have not disappeared: I am just computer time deficit.
Imaginif Jade was already doing our administrative work
