I acknowledge that:

I have read the REACH© Training FAQs. I recognize that this course is 90 minutes in length and that trainings should not have more than 50 participants.

I recognize the importance of supporting the emotional and mental wellbeing of everyone in attendance and that it is not a best practice to mandate that any student, staff, or faculty be REACH© Trained.
REACH Trainings are only facilitated in-person. No participants are permitted to join the training via online platforms, such as Zoom.
