Join the members of the CMA DEI Advisory Committee for the 3rd DEI Primer Workshop: Building a More Accessible Fellowship on Sunday, September 14th at 12:00 pm. Learn how to create CMA spaces where every brain is welcome, understood, and supported in recovery. This interactive workshop explores what it means to be neurodivergent—such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other brain differences—and how these experiences can shape recovery. We’ll share practical tools to make CMA meetings more inclusive, address common myths, and build understanding so that every member feels respected, supported, and empowered in their recovery journey. Visit NorCalCMA.org/dei to register for this free workshop.
