Webinars and events
We held the belief that by shining a light on what was working well and what we were learning, we could all benefit and work together to change the system and improve the lives of our clients. We hosted events and webinars to share our learning and reach as many people as possible within the system.

The panel included...

There are gendered differences in how women experience severe and multiple disadvantage (SMD) in comparison to men.
