What to Expect

  • Community

    Member Meet Ups are a live session for Diamond Members of the Grisha Stewart Academy community to come together to discuss a current topic.

    Next Session
    When BAT Meets LEGS

    LEGS Family Dog Mediators Viviane Arzoumanian, CBATI-KSA and Cheryl Salvador will be helping you work through real-world applications of the BAT Meet LEGS Total Welfare Model.

    November 24th. 10am Pacific Time, 6pm UK Time. For 1 hour.

  • Gathering

    Sometimes we feature a special guest, sometimes it's just us but it's always run as a Zoom meeting, not a webinar, so you'll be able to turn on your camera and mic to contribute to the discussion, or share quick videos. Text chat works too, if you'd rather not go on camera.

  • Learning

    Member Meet Ups are whatever you would like them to be. A space to find support, learn or to ask questions. They will always be facilitated by a member of the GSA Team, but ultimately they are all about you. :)
