About The Video Learning Series
Our online video learning series walks you through the common challenges that people face when supporting incontinence.
Start with the welcome video, below, and work your way through Units 1-6 in order. If you would rather look at videos on a specific topic instead of going through the series, choose a topic from the Resources menu.
Each video is fully captioned and available as a transcript, with accompanying resources. The videos will be available as a downloadable audio series later this fall.
This series was written and produced by Kelli Borgman, Tracie Clarke, Audrey Homan, Chayah Lichtig, Rebecca Ruid, Kelly Savitri, and Tammy Willey. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Adam Repash at the UVM Howe Library Sound & Vision Media Lab for all the support with equipment and locations.
