The content of each Module comprises a variety of videos, podcasts, articles, links to websites and supporting resources. The content is foundational with additional resources provided for anyone interested in a deeper dive. We recognize that each of us brings our own history and experiences (positive and negative) to the course. We offer this as a means to guide you in creating a positive learning environment for our students and trainees. If your frame of reference is shifted in a positive direction, we consider that a positive outcome.
Exercises: Each of the Modules will include a reflective commitment to change exercise. These exercises are shared with others taking the Module content. If you have questions about content, we can forward them on to respective experts in this area.
