Healthy Teams Components

The Healthy Teams Workshop overviews eight components that contribute to the development of healthy teams and gives special attention to two of these components (see * below).  The remaining six have each been developed into a 1-1/4 hour experience which can be sent to a team for use once a month for the next six months.  Please note: There is a $60 charge for these materials. 

These experiences in team building have been formatted for self-facilitation.  The learning objectives for each of the components are noted below.
