Please join us for a Region IV Meet & Greet!
It’s been too long since we’ve all connected in the same space;
so much has changed since 2020 and we at First Steps want to reconnect with everyone! This is an opportunity to meet EarlySteps practitioners, referral sources, DCFS workers, and others in person, mingle, and get acquainted with who these people are beyond the emails, text messages, phone calls, and Zoom meetings!
