Booster Sessions
The Working Mind and The Working Mind First Responders (formerly Road to Mental Readiness) offer booster sessions to participants who have previously taken one of our training courses. The intention of a booster session is to review and refresh participants’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes around the key components of the course.
If your organization has its own instructor, booster sessions are free to access. If not, there may be a cost for an outside instructor to lead the session.
Currently, there are 3 instructor-led booster sessions available. We are pleased to begin offering self-paced online sessions, with additional Boosters currently in development.
