Join Disability:IN Minnesota in partnership with Center for Disability Inclusion, Disability:IN Chicagoland, Disability:IN DC Metro, Disability:IN North Carolina, and Disability:IN Wisconsin:, for a virtual conversation on the impacts of trauma and how to create an inclusive and supportive work environment for trauma survivors.
