What: Who are you as a GAL? What kind of GAL do you strive to be? And how do you get children and youth to where they want to be? Join us at the OCR’s annual dependency and neglect conference for a time of introspection to identify what has shaped your view on your kids, advocacy, communication, risk, etc. In addition, each attendee will have the opportunity to take the Myers-Briggs Personality Test and gain insight into what the results mean and the tools for using this information to become a better GAL.
