The Advanced Clinical Education Foundation’s Sunday Program Series presents:

THE DEVELOPING AND ENHANCING OF GROUP THERAPY IN ONE'S PRACTICE. A DEMONSTRATION - LIVE ONLINE VIA ZOOM

Program Description

In this workshop, I will ask members to participate in a demonstration session where I will show ways of connecting members to one another. Bridging members into a working group is our goal. In one’s individual sessions, we only see and listen to the client’s description of their problem. We try to figure out how they are in their real life situations. In the group, we see first hand, the struggles to be open, stay in the moment, and connect to their fellow members. Each of you has the ability to find a group of, say six, members in your practice or clinical setting, to create into a working group.

Registration Options

*NYSSCSW Discount applies to NYSSCSW current members only.
