When it comes to nourishing a culture of belonging in our community, sometimes people ask "Where do I begin?" or "Does this small thing really make a difference?" To unpack these questions, host Jessica sits down with Brian Turcotte, Social Worker at Barrington Middle School Prairie Campus, someone we admire for showing up to do his part in learning, listening and building a more inclusive community. Turcotte is also a member of the Barrington 220 School District Equity Team, and serves on the board of BStrong Together, that works to enhance the health and well-being of Barrington area youth in mind, body, and spirit.
