Join ABRPO for a speaking engagement from Cassandra Smith in collaboration with ABRPO. Cassandra will share her story of grief and surviving systemic failures and child apprehension. Cassandra will be joined by Chris Leonard, ABRPO consultant and community facilitator, to develop shared language around this type of grief and offer tips for workers on supporting grieving parents. We will also have a facilitator present in case participants need grief or trigger supports are needed in a breakout room. This event will not be recorded.
