- How do we deal with our own anxieties, stress, grief, and sadness?
- What are the tools we need to thrive not only survive?
- How do we embrace imperfection and messiness?
Watch our conversation with distinguished author, spiritual leader, and mother of a child with special needs – Sherre Hirsch! Dr. Jason Bolton, VP of Community Partnerships and Admissions at The Help Group, lead the conversation and field questions from the community.
