About the Workshop
The only thing that stays the same is that the world is always changing. And while change can feel overwhelming and uncertain, Asians and Pacific Islanders come from a long ancestry of resilience in the face of change. In this workshop, participants will dive into a deeper understanding of what change is and how to manage it regardless of how much agency they have over the change they’re experiencing.
This is only a sample version of the workshop. It is free and open to all via Webex (virtual)!
