Course Description

This in-person course is designed to give therapists a basic understanding of facilitating interpersonal process groups. Participants will gain clinical skills for running groups, application of group therapy theory, and tools for navigating common challenges that arise in group setting. This course is a combination of both didactic teaching and experiential participation. Attendees must be willing to participate in an interpersonal process group as part of the training.

This continuing education experience is limited to 8 participants.
