THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS YEAR'S CONFERENCE. IT WAS AN EXCITING VIRTUAL EVENT WHERE BOTH FACULTY AND PARTICIPANTS LEARNED VALUABLE LESSONS AND SKILLS AROUND EQUITY, INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY.

In this conference, we aimed to explore all the different meanings of diversity in our profession. How do we think about difference in our groups, and in our lives? We explored concepts, biases and ideas in areas that challenge and enrich our perspectives. By pushing against our own levels of comfort, we opened spaces to create more welcoming and safe places to heal and be healed.

Access to our conferences is one of our top priorities. The 2021 Conference was held fully virtual via Zoom. This allowed professionals from all over the country (and world!) to participate! 

NSGP also wants our conferences to be accessible to as wide a community as possible.  Therefore we are introducing a new Equity Rate for those who identify as members of a group that suffers from ongoing institutional barriers whether it be race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity as well as new professionals.

NSGP also offers many Scholarships to help defer costs. It is important to carefully follow instructions when applying for scholarships, or registering with an equity rate.
