BUR Forum November 21, 2017:  From Surviving to Thriving

Agenda

 

About Chemical & Scent Sensitivity including ways to reduce your use of scents

The Transformation Center strives to make all spaces accessible to all. This includes (but is not limited to) avoiding the use of scented products as much as possible, using wheelchair accessible spaces, and scheduling interpreters and groups in other languages (adapted from Western MA RLC Guiding Principles).

 

The first BUR Celebration and Forum

was held November 12, 2015 in Dorchester, MA.  It was an historic gathering of people who identify as African American or Black and have experienced racism or marginalization, violence, severe emotional distress, trauma or substance use challenges.  2015 Forum & Celebration Flyer
