(If you identify as indigenous and are white please attend the White Resilience workshop).

This session will be attended by an active listener Nosheen Khwaja . She will be on hand to offer support to those who might need it, either during or shortly after the workshop.

Personal matters shared with the active listener will be held in confidence.
