FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Each forum is guided by experienced, independent facilitators who provide structure, maintain focus, and ensure balanced participation. Their role is to support productive dialogue and accountability while keeping the emphasis on peer perspective.

Forums meet on a regular cadence designed to support continuity, accountability, and meaningful progress. Specific timing and logistics are shared during the application and invitation process.
