Overview
In this module, you’ll learn to identify the form of mentorship that best helps meet your needs and goals. As you work through the module, we have intentionally included several activities to help guide your self-reflection as you engage in mentorship. Please note that although the material in this module may be presented in a linear manner, mentorship is an ongoing, reflective, and cyclical process.

Feeling safe as you work through the module/course
This module/course touches some challenging topics and it’s important that you find the balance between challenging yourself (appropriate discomfort) and feeling safe and confident. That might mean that you pause or advocate for what you need during the course. If something is wrong, please let us know: hqpteam2023@gmail.com.
We can only make changes if we hear about issues and suggestions.
