Women of the Chamber Webinar: 
COVID-Strong: Caring for Ourselves During the Pandemic

This year has been a lot. We've faced the COVID-19 health crisis, historic job losses, protests highlighting social injustice, and somehow we've still got three months left. It's natural to feel stressed about it all.
