Your virtual class includes a mandatory 2-hour self-paced pre-work assignment that must be completed prior to the start of the live Zoom training. You'll receive information on accessing and completing this work 2-weeks prior to the start of class. The National Council of Mental Wellbeing requires that cameras be on the whole training. *

I commit to complete my pre-work prior to class and agree to keep my camera on.
If fewer than 15 people complete the pre-work or attend class, the class (valued at $170 per person) may need to be canceled. Funding is limited, so a cancelled class means fewer people can receive this special training at no cost to them. *

I commit to setting aside the entire time to attend my class.
Do you have any questions?
If not, please leave blank
