What to expect from a consultation?
We will explore the reasons for your inquiry and ask additional questions to understand your context and needs. We will explore questions related to your wellbeing goals, the readiness of leadership, faculty and staff to embed wellbeing current practices and processes, and the availability of data to assist with planning and decision-making.
