-
When does the program start?
You can join anytime and work through the videos at your own pace. You will have access to the program for 12 months after signing up.
-
How will live Q&A sessions work?
The live monthly Q&A sessions will occur on the third Thursday of each month, beginning January 27, 2022, at 9:00AM Mountain Time (Western Canada). All registered program participants will receive zoom links for the monthly sessions, and the recordings will be added to the platform each month if you cannot attend. You can send in questions beforehand, or just show up on the videoconference and ask them there.
-
How long can we join Q&A sessions for?
Program attendees will be able to join the live Q&A sessions for an entire year after signing up for the program, and have access to all the recordings on the platform for that period of time.
-
Are the videos of professional production quality?
The videos in this series were not professionally produced; rather, they were captured in the natural clinical environment. The introductions to each session and the background videos were recorded on zoom by Linda and Michael together, and feature natural conversation, sometimes guided by scripts. The videos of the real-life class sessions were filmed unscripted on a high quality video camera in-session, so the view of the facilitators and participants varies class to class. The sound quality is adequate to hear the conversations unless a participant spoke particularly softly.
