  • 30 min Q & A is available after each presentation for audience questions, care coordination, or additional programming tailored to each workshop. 
     

  • Each workshop is adapted for the specific culture of each workplace, and includes a 20 min planning call to clarify goals and metrics for success of the self-care event.

Workshop Options
