PACT NOW: ASK the advocate

Join FORGE and Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, Inclusion Health Clinic bi-weekly “ASK the…” events.  Physicians, nurses, social workers, advocates, counselors and others will hold space to share information and, most importantly, ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS!  

This meeting’s focus: Social service support resources for trans/non-binary communities during COVID-19.

Are you wondering how to get the resources you need?  The federal impact payment; unemployment benefits; rental assistance; basic necessities; social connection and support… Bring your questions or ask in advance.
