July 2020 News From The Field
Welcome to our July 2020 News from the Field monthly feature! This is an extension of the bottom of our newsletter. We will be providing you with some of the latest news, resources, and local & national professional development opportunities. If you haven’t already, sign up to get our monthly e-newsletter in your inbox.
This month, we are excited to share several different ways that folks can get involved in Girasol Online. In addition to offering our pre-existing free trainings, we are also starting to offer monthly virtual meet ups. Meet Girasol Mondays are an opportunity to get to know Girasol Program Coordinator Ana Hernández and hear how you can get more involved in Girasol. In our Mental Health Collaborative Monthly Consultation Groups, we are offering a free support group space for anyone in the collaborative to receive feedback and meet other providers and students interested in working on immigration cases.
