PCW facilitated two multi-day convenings with local Stupski Foundation grantees, focused on co-creating a shared model of organizational wellbeing. Designed to cultivate a culture that fosters health, alignment, and thriving, the model equips organizations to better support both their teams and the communities they serve.
