Step 3: Screening Process
The third step is the screening process. After we have received and reviewed your referral form and your application form, we will contact you to schedule a time for our screening interview.We recognize that a ‘screening interview’ sounds intimidating. Our goal is for it not to be. It is simply a chance for us to meet with you, either in person or via the telephone, to help establish the most cohesive and supportive group dynamic that we can create.
