MAPS Battling Emotional Exhaustion to Thrive, Not Just Survive

MAPS virtual courses are highly participatory and interactive.

Our instructors engage the participants by using many of the features of Zoom: breakout rooms, chat window, polling, class discussions, and share screen. The MAPS online experience will be similar to MAPS in-person; your learning requires your involvement. 

To receive the best experience, please join from your own device with a microphone.
