Program development consultation
Need help planning your programs for residents? For the past 20 years, we have assisted hundreds of GCAs and RAs in creating effective programs on on health topics such as sexuality, sexual assault prevention, alcohol and other drugs, sexual health, stress reduction, nutrition and culture shock.
- "Passive programs" in the form of bulletin boards, bathroom stall readers, and posters, helps establish a climate of wellness, caring, and mutual accountability within your living space.
