After registering, you will receive an automatic confirmation email from SignUpGenius.
RCAW staff will also send a calendar invitation with your confirmed appointment time, virtual meeting link, and session details.
Join the virtual session at your scheduled time to receive personalized support and guidance from RCAW staff.
If additional support is needed beyond the 15-minute session, RCAW staff can help connect you with further resources or discuss next steps.
Following the session, RCAW may provide follow-up information, summary notes, or additional resources discussed during your appointment.

If you are unable to attend your scheduled session, please notify RCAW as soon as possible. Appointment availability is limited, and cancellations allow us to offer the session time to individuals on the waitlist.
