What to Expect:

A triage system seems like a common-sense idea, however, it had to start somewhere. Turns out it has only been around in its recognizable form for a couple of centuries. Most people think of triage as it pertains to medicine, and there is some interesting information here that we discussed, however, triage has also been applied to mental health systems, as well as academic support. Everywhere that people have implemented a triage system, that system improved. This might be one of the human race’s greatest inventions! Or at least one that we are very excited about.

ATTENTION! We are hosting our very first live stream event in celebration of our 3-year anniversary. The event will be on May 1st at 5:00 pm PST/8:00 pm EST. Join the whole time for this fun and interactive episode!
