Presentations/Trainings for Departments
We will do our best to accommodate your request; however, we appreciate at least 6-weeks’ notice so that we can fit into our liveWELL staff and partner schedules.
We can usually accommodate one request per work group per year, but if you are seeking more work in your department, we will consult with you about alternatives to presentations.
We require a minimum of 12 attendees. If you are a very small work unit, consider combining a request with a partner program.
