The Learning Experience

Coaching sessions will be conducted virtually via Zoom. Sessions are typically 50 minutes long and can be conducted individually or in small groups of 2-5 youth within the same age range.

Sessions are designed to build upon each other, providing a comprehensive learning experience. Over multiple sessions, young people have the opportunity to develop a comfortable and trusting relationship with Claire, which is vital for open and honest communication about sensitive topics. Therefore, at least four sessions are required for program completion.
