Introducing “Happy Hour: A “Sip & Share” Series”!

Our first happy hour in our new space was such a success that we thought, why not do this every month? 😄

Starting Friday, March 27th from 4-6pm, we will be hosting happy hour the last Friday of each month! This is an opportunity to share your business, resources, ideas, or to simply attend and learn about what’s available to you in your community 🫶

Want to share a new idea or group you’re facilitating? Email us at info@chicagominds.co to sign up for the Sip & Share portion of happy hour, starting at 5 pm.

You can RSVP for free in our bio now!

A special thank you to our amazing speakers for guiding us through the workshop 👏

This interactive workshop will provide education on the concept of moral injury and specifically explain how it impacts therapists.
