In this conversation we will map Kathleen's unique pathway to group leadership including important mentors as well as significant clinical and training experiences.

We will also will mine her leadership wisdom, acquired during many years of working in both hospital and community settings. We are particularly curious about her recipe for blending education and activity while simultaneously facilitating a dynamic group process.
