Takeaways
The September PAT meeting had to be redirected from an in person PAT reunion marking the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, to a virtual discussion of future plans and self care practices to forge on through the ongoing pandemic of novel COVID-19 and its variants’ effects on school, work, and personal lives. The PAT was also visited by Alice Bufkin of the Citizens Committee for Children, who gave a presentation on the current state of their EI work and other ways to get involved in systemic EI improvement.
