The HUB, in partnership with the Pacific NorthWest Homeopathy Association (PNWHA.org),  invites you to a timely and strategy-filled webinar to help you learn about practicing homeopathy legally and confidently, wherever you are.Homeopathic practice outside of a health freedom jurisdiction is a gray area: the gray elephant in the room of our emerging profession! It can discourage or confuse us about how to share our rare and valuable homeopathic skills without putting ourselves or others at risk. The Pacific NorthWest Homeopathy Association represents homeopaths in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. As a health freedom state, Idaho homeopaths have clear legality within the scope of the legislation. In Washington, where there is a history of investigating and charging unlicensed homeopaths, there are strong legal precedents in play. In Oregon, there has been a calm live-and-let-live vibe for unlicensed homeopaths. These three states in the Pacific Northwest represent models of legalities and circumstance that are similar to other states and provinces throughout North America. The practitioners in this region have valuable experience to share with all of you.Fortunately, there are excellent pathways open to homeopaths. One size does not fit all. Like the fable of the blind men who explored the elephant, each one has a different experience based on what they encounter. Join Karen Allen, CCH, Patricia Kay, CCH, Joleen Kelleher, CCH, and members of  PNWHA.org, along with our panel of experienced homeopaths, as each one shares their pathway into legal and confident practice.In this 1.5 hour  ACHENA CEU accredited presentation, you will learn pro and con perspectives about homeopathic practices in the Pacific Northwest that are hidden, virtual, licensed, included within wellness coaching, safe within First Nations tribal rights, or protected as spiritual direction or within a private membership association. The panel presentation will be followed by Q&A for the participants. We will encourage those who are interested in a particular path to form a working team to help each other implement what they have learned.Conveniently online for your participation, this community service course is open to everyone. Feel free to share this course information with colleagues who may be interested. The Pacific NorthWest Homeopathy Association welcomes a donation to support their work from those who benefit from this training. We look forward to seeing you there.

The roles of digital navigators are multifaceted, involving not just technical instruction but also empathetic support and understanding of the diverse challenges faced by those lacking access to digital resources. Moreover, for individuals on the wrong side of the digital divide, the inability to access digital resources can perpetuate feelings of exclusion, inadequacy, and frustration, potentially impacting their mental well-being. Thus, integrating mental health awareness into digital skills education is not just a matter of technical proficiency but a vital component of fostering inclusive, supportive communities in the digital age. Join us as we discuss strategies for fostering an environment of empathy, patience, and support so that we not only impart essential digital skills but also contribute to the emotional resilience and life-long empowerment of our learners.Raffle Giveaway: Managing Digital Navigators
