Description
The Moving On workshops include five training sessions where participants and their families/teams create their own Individualized Moving On Plan (iMop). The workshops are designed to focus on concrete, practical information that can educate participants and families and creatively address barriers to moving on. Each workshop series includes a pre-session phone call, where information is gathered from each family to allow the LOV Inc. facilitators to customize the materials and sessions based on the participants. Three of the workshops include virtual training for the participants separate from their family members.
