Please note: Staffing for outreach requests is dependent on staff availability, office hours, and programming specifics. While every effort will be made to staff your request, during times of increased demand for clinical services, we may not be able to fulfill all outreach requests. Additionally, weekend or evening requests may be more difficult to staff.
Workshops
