Start One-On-One Consulting on a Topic
To work one-on-one with a CIVITAS consultant, providers need to fill out an online form (1-3 minutes) to provide basic information about the provider’s center and help identify the areas that need/want to be worked on.
After filling out the survey, providers will receive a link to schedule a virtual meeting with a consultant. During this meeting it will be determined what topic the provider would like to work on. Providers can meet with the consultant up to three times on the one topic.
Access the Guides
CIVITAS offers easy to follow guides on each of the topics for self guided study and implementation. Those can be accessed on the knowledge center by following the links below.
