Question	What if I need support during the program?
Answer	We are there to assist you! Please note that students often find it necessary to deal with personal issues as a result of experiential course work. While qualified on-site therapeutic resources are available should the need for support arise, RMPTI reserves the right to screen and/or re-direct candidates to other training/development opportunities should it appear that higher levels of support are required than those typically provided in a clinical training program. In certain cases, participants may be asked to undertake therapy prior to program re-admission.
