And similar to any other practice, there are ways to be more skillful with guidance. In this seminar, we will learn from two expert community advocates with decades of experience working closely with patients, families, and community members. Participants will gain new insights on how to be an advocate, how to ground a career in service, and skills to sustain this difficult and meaningful work.
