8th Annual Adler Academy of Minnesota Conference
Helping Clients Change: Building Resilience in the Face of Global Threats and Anxiety
This conference has been approved by the MN board of psychology for 7.0 CE’s. (Awaiting approval for MN BBHT and MN LMFT).
Join us on September 20, 2024, for a day of learning clinical and personal skills to build resilience in us, our families, and our clients. The presentations and experiential exercises will focus on generational trauma and parenting, the impact of culture on stress and trauma responses, bodywork, and the transformative power of metaphors.
Every day, we wake up to a world that has become increasingly turbulent. Many social institutions, from families to global communities, are turning into battlegrounds where nobody wins, accompanied by worldwide anxiety, mass hysteria, large-scale traumatic experiences, and global threats. Our conference theme was prompted by seeking personal and clinical sources of emotional strengths and opportunities for renewed wholeness amidst global uncertainties.
Please join us on a day of reflection, renewal, greater clinical understanding, and courage-building skills.
