$$The opening of a training program sets the stage for the subsequent script to be enacted. If comfort

zones are established early, if challenges are positively presented, if overviews are clear and if

participants are stimulated to contribute, then the opening and closing acts, as well as the main

event, should be well received. The mental health and wellbeing of our staff has been a key

concern. It will be incumbent upon human resources to come up with creative ways help staff feel

good with a sense of connection.
