Each lesson includes a clinical lesson plan modeled after The COR Behavioral Group standard and an accompanying interactive student or clinical resource.

A five-day comprehensive sequence on interpersonal communication in modern digital and professional contexts, from active listening to email, Slack, and professional social media.
