The Therapist Experience: Collaborative Trauma, Collaborative Healing

Katherine Manners and Lisa Tieszen, the directors of Resilience Works, will provide space for therapists to explore the toll that they (and their clients) have experienced over the past several years. In addition to hearing life stories, often traumatic, and bearing witness to the pain and suffering of clients, therapists have been inundated with requests and overwhelmed with the need during this unprecedented time in recent history. The Therapist Experience will meet weekly on Thursdays from 12-1:30, starting April 20 and ending June 8

NEAFAST In-Home Therapy Conference 2023: Supporting Mental Health Professionals in Community-Based Settings

The In-Home Therapy Conference is a one day, 6 CE conference that combines components of systemic therapy practice with the practical application of family and relational therapy tools to in-home and community-based therapy settings. This year's keynote presentation will address the distinctions between family therapy centered around working with relational dynamics and family structure, and family therapy centered around individual therapy with multiple people in the family system. Registration is open! Join us on April 14, 2023 from 8:30am-4:30pm ET live on Zoom for this 6 CE event.
