If you are a Behavioral Health Service professional, please follow the guide on our knowledge base: Getting Started with the Academy LMS for SD BHS Learners.
Introduction
Learning Initiatives are a way to experience a “choose your own adventure” learning path through various topics. Activities are offered in multiple formats (Webinar/In Person/Online) and may be paired with interactions in SumTotal Communities which you may use to continue the conversation after your Initiative has ended - or interact with members of another cohort!
