The Social Awareness Book and Movie Discussion Group is open to anyone wishing to attend. Read the book in advance, or watch a documentary or film and participate in a thought-provoking discussion.

The experiences of others in written and visual forms can expand our understanding of different perspectives and promote a lively discussion on how they affect us.

 

Discussion facilitated by Gail Quenneville, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
