Class Logistics Confirmations: Your virtual class includes a mandatory 2-hour self-paced, online 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 via a calendar invitation for your class). In addition, your camera is required to be turned on for the entirety of this training per the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, the accrediting body.*

I commit to complete my pre-work prior to class and agree to keep my camera on.
Cancellation Policy: Please give as much advanced notice of a cancellation as possible. While these classes are offered at no cost to Ohio residents they valued at $170 per person and paid for by our generous funders. Funding for trainings is limited, so last minute cancellation 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.
