Advocacy & Support

Members may have seen in yesterday’s Ed-email, a link to resources to supplement the Connect and Respect Initiative. WAPPA welcomes these resources and we provided significant input into their development based on our members’ feedback. Multiple pressure points led to these resources being developed, such as data from the annual National Principal Health and Wellbeing Survey.
