Learn some strategies to help you navigate hard conversations with people you may disagree with.

It can be hard having real, respectful conversations with family, friends, and neighbors when you disagree about important topics. Join us for a night of conversation with the Kansas Health Foundation’s Sarah Jane Crespo. We’ll learn some practical strategies for how to navigate tough conversations with people in your community and help bridge the political divide.
