We will alternate the times on Fridays to accommodate different schedules. Please join us this Friday, May 1st, at 11:00 a.m. for a general question/answer format. 

Save the date of May 8th at 1:00 p.m. for a Coffee Talk focused on mental health. Fairhill's mental health team will be providing resources for families while we navigate these challenging times.  

We will be sending out links to join prior to Coffee Talks.
