In this episode of Community Conversations from St. John of God Community Services, we explore the richness of cultural diversity within our teams and the impact it has on the people we support.
Featuring colleagues from the Philippines, Uganda, and South Africa, this conversation highlights personal journeys to Ireland, experiences of welcome and belonging, and the shared values that unite us in our work.
