Course Overview: 

Community mental health practitioners are under enormous pressure to deliver more services with fewer resources, while the problems that we are challenged to resolve are increasingly complex. As we strive to provide meaningful interventions that address the social, psychic and justice demands of those who struggle the most, we have an even greater need to carve out spaces, both within our minds as clinicians and within our places of practice. 

Please spend the day with us as we expand both our thinking and our community. This day will consist of a morning case presentation by Sarah Steinberg, MA, followed by a conversation with discussants Clara Kwun, LCSW and Aimee Armada, MFT, a morning large group discussion, and lunch. In the afternoon, small "think tank" groups which will focus on a variety of topics that attendees choose. The day will culminate in a large group discussion, moderated by Francisco Gonzalez, MD, Rachel Peltz, PhD, and April Fernando, PhD, focused on building and sustaining our group, Reflective Spaces/Material Places.
