A few things to know

Before you begin

Answer every assessment based on how you are. Not how you want to be, not your best day. Right now.
The platform works best when you complete the assessments before the workshops. The Workbench tells you which workshop to prioritize.
You do not have to complete all three workshops. Do the ones your Workbench flags first.
The faith and general toggles are in the top right of every workshop. Switch any time.
If something surfaces that feels too heavy to sit with alone, stop and reach out to someone you trust.
