Affordable & Accessible for All

We work hard to ensure that Forum offerings are accessible to all staff working in this community. Ready to enroll?

We want to hear from you!

Whether you have an idea on how our trainings could better support your team or just general feedback, please feel free to contact the Director of The Forum (Rachel Yount) at ryount@hopehaveninc.org or fill out the form on this page.

From N. Tryon Street, turn onto W. Craighead Road and enter through the second driveway on your right. Drive straight ahead, and The Forum is the last building on your left with the logo on the entrance doors. There is plenty of free, on-site parking. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us!
