NEAFAST Sexuality Symposium 2023: Working with Sex in Systems Therapy

The NEAFAST Sexuality Symposium 2023 will introduce mental health professionals to the field of sexual health. Attendees will learn more about the history of sex therapy and sex research, develop skills for ethically dialoguing with relationships about their sexual practices, and explore a framework that names optimal sexuality, rather than sexual dysfunction. Registration is open! Join us on March 3, 2023 from 9am-4pm ET live on Zoom for this 6 CE event.

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.
