Thank you Positive Space Network

Thanks to all of the wonderful folks that attended Positive Space sessions over the fall and winter semesters.  We had our first group to complete all 6 sessions of Positive Space this semester.  We also received some very helpful feedback from participants about how we can make the Network more accessible for students as well as how we can do more outreach.  We will be taking this feedback and revamping the Network over the summer in order to offer more sessions in the fall.  In the meantime, please join our Positive Space Facebook page and network with other folks that have taken some workshops or are interested in doing so!
