Families will learn communication techniques and advocacy skills to foster understanding, acceptance, and connection.

Through collaborative narrative reconstruction—therapeutic letters and reflective exercises—you gain agency and resilience. This process honors your values and empowers you to craft a narrative aligned with your authentic self. You’ll leave with narrative techniques to support ongoi
