Workday 01 · The Form He Can't Read
Monday · 9:14 AM

Workday 02 · Enrollment Week
Thursday · 8:05 AM

Practice steps
Choose a step that fits your situation. Mark a step when you have tried it in a setting that fits your life — at work, in a class, while volunteering, caregiving, in your community or in a practice conversation. Nobody is grading this.
