  • Transformational Change: Creating Meaningful Individual Service Plans (Macon)

    Middle Georgia State University 100 University Parkway, Macon, GA

    DBHDD, in partnership with Sangha Unity Network (SUN), will continue the work of Transformational Change through a series of interactive, one-day workshops focused on creating more meaningful Individual Service Plans using the new ISP template.
