CCN at Work

This year, Community Care Network's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee started monthly Children's Story Hour. Story Hour aims to teach kids about themselves, each other, and the world around them through children's literature. Each month, clinicians select books that celebrate different cultures, family dynamics, abilities, and more!
