The Workshops


About Our Workshops

JD Mentor workshops are intentionally small, giving each attendee the space and comfort to present their own questions and challenges for comments from the workshop leaders and discussion by the group. At a JD Mentor workshop, you can expect to:

  • Share your personal experiences, as much as you are comfortable
  • Connect with others who share similar challenges
  • Gain information, tools, or other resources that you may not have considered
  • Hear unique perspectives
  • Be heard and understood

Once you register, you’ll receive information about your selected course, as well as some points and questions to consider in preparation. Your registration packet will enable you to come to the workshop ready to engage with the content provided and connect with other attendees.

If you have questions about any of our workshop offerings, please contact us.
