Format: This is a facilitated online meetup with open discussion. We encourage active participation, but listening is also welcome. We will have a moderator to ensure everyone has a chance to speak and that the conversation remains respectful and supportive.

Special Notes: This event is free and family-friendly. Feel free to have your children nearby, but please be mindful of background noise. We strive to create a sensory-friendly environment, so cameras are optional, and you are welcome to participate via chat if you prefer.
