Tuesday seminars will occur from 9:30 to 11:30am PST, and Friday workshops will provide follow up conversation and activities based on the Tuesday content from 9:30 to 10:30am PST. These events are open to all and free of charge.

Meaningful Remote Billable Activities
Please join us on Friday, May 21 for our seminar, "Meaningful Remote Billable Activities" with Trillium.
We will be providing information on how to work with someone remotely and still provide quality service. We will also be providing tools and examples for working with someone remotely. These remote activities can be done via virtual meeting, phone, or if needed, mail.
- Learn how to identify activities to do with the person you serve that will best benefit them.
- Get ideas on various ways to provide remote support and when it is appropriate.
- Learn how to use various tools with the person you serve to make the most out of remote service.
Do you require an accommodation, materials in alternate format or have inquiries about accessibility in this event? If so, please reach out to support@gowise.org no later than 5pm Friday prior to this webinar. Due to the short turnaround of our webinar series we are unable to accommodate same day requests.
