Funding Partner: The Grit and Resilience Program
We are absolutely rapt that through a partnership with The Grit and Resilience Program, funding has been provided to cover the overhead costs for the self-paced eLearning component.
The Grit and Resilience Program see this program as an opportunity for us to build strength, knowledge and connection with each other, as we make our community even better together.
Delivering this for free for you was always our plan and promise, and we’re incredibly grateful to The Grit and Resilience Program for believing in and supporting this work for the community.
