Outcomes

Two initial sessions provide the foundation concepts and the opportunity to explore useful tools and strategies while the third follow up session is a chance to reflect on the success of the tools already used and to build on them further.  

Length

4.5 hours (3 x 90 min sessions delivered live online or face-to-face. The final session must be delivered at least 1 month after the second session.)
