Partner program announcement that has an associated cost.  

Many practitioners have been introduced to narrative therapy and are drawn to its focus on collaboration and meaning making with the people we serve. A brief introduction to narrative ideas is generally not enough for people to feel confident putting these ideas into practice in a robust way. This course will take introductory ideas and expand on them in theory and practice.

Partner program announcement that has an associated cost.   

Mary Jo Barrett is an expert in healing relationships that have been harmed by family violence. Even though intrafamilial sexual abuse is common, most therapists lack training to address the resulting complex trauma in individual and relational work. When safety and trust have been ruptured from sexual abuse in relationships within the family it requires the clinician to hold a moral ethical stance related to personal responsibility and accountability. Understanding how relational bonds persist despite abusive behavior is critically important to supporting emotional growth that minimizes the impact of these boundary violations. In this course, Mary Jo will help you deepen your capacity to work effectively both with those who have been victimized and those who have crossed significant boundaries and done harm.
