Washington Conservation Guild

Members! Please join us for a Community Support Session with Ilana Hipshman, (LCSW-C).

Ilana Hipshman has worked as a Behavioral Health Therapist in and around Baltimore City for the last 6 years, providing mental health services in multiple languages. Before moving to clinical practice, she spent 6 years partnering with grassroots community organizations, and working to support social-emotional development, and educational success. She values learning about other cultural perspectives, loves reading biographies, and believes the world might actually be a better place if we all took a few minutes now and then to hug a tree.

This in person meeting will take place on March 5th, at 5:30-7pm EST, and is free to all members. The deadline to RSVP is February 25th, via a link sent in the email announcement sent to all members.
