A central goal of PACT training is to create an engaging and positive learning environment — a collaborative space where students feel both supported and challenged, inspired and enriched in their individual learning trajectories. To that end, we invite all participants in the PACT training to adhere to the following set of principles.

In order to create a safe and inspiring learning environment, we commit to treating each other with respect. 

We are guided by curiosity, generosity, and the commitment to mastery of the material and to mutual growth as responsible health care workers. 

We are committed to learning, even when it takes us out of our comfort zone. We commit to purposefully engaging with others about issues and feelings related to racism or marginalization that may come up directly, indirectly, or inadvertently. 

We are dedicated to understanding and repair. We are all learners and understand that part of learning is to make mistakes, which often demonstrate risk-taking and provide opportunities for learning and do-overs. 

As therapists, we aspire to clear, open, and direct communication. 

Clinical and personal material that is shared in this training is confidential and will be held with integrity. We agree not to discuss personal information shared in class with others outside of class.
