Registration is open for the Delving Deeper: Race & Well-Being workshop coming up on Saturday morning, September 14, 2019. Delving Deeper will feature Dr. Marcus Campbell, Aracely Canchola and Taya Kinzie, LCSW–Evanston Township High School’s best–engaging participants in a deeper look at the interconnectedness of race and well-being, reflecting on personal identity and biases as they relate to our relationships with others.
