Webinar: Finding a Voice, Bearing Witness, Emerging from Shadows: Dynamics in Group

Sunday, January 12, 2020, 12-1:30 PM (Eastern) *Please be cognizant of applicable time zones

ohn Schlapobersky, BA, MSc, CGP

Group-analytic psychotherapy provides a forum - the group circle - that allows each member to find their own voice in a circle of others, to bear witness to the voices of others and to bring their lives out of the shadows, discovering themselves amongst others by learning to listen and talk.

Participation for members is free. Participation for nonmembers is .00. 1.5 CE credits are available at .50 for members or .00 for nonmembers.

How We Talk About the Power and Value of Group

It can be challenging to clearly and consistently articulate the power and value of group. Please join AGPS at this year's Annual Meeting, which will include a panel discussion focused on the ways we talk about the value of group therapy with prospective members, clients, professional colleagues, and our personal community. Panelists Katie Griffin, Jeffrey Hudson, Randy Frasier, and Tammy Brown will consider how their experiences with groups affect the way they see and talk about the power of group. Small group breakout sessions will provide participants with opportunities to continue the dialogue regarding how AGPS as an organization and we, ourselves, can meaningfully share ideas about the power of group with others.

The panel discussion will be preceded by the business portion of the meeting, during which Incoming President Scott Phillips and the AGPS board will share organizational progress, successes, and changes from the past year, as well as goals for the coming year. Outgoing Treasurer John Cooper will give an overview of the financial health of our organization.

Panelists:
Katie Griffin, LPC, CGP, FAGPA
Jeffrey Hudson, LPC, CGP, FAGPA
Randy Frasier, PhD
Tammy Brown, LCSW, CGP

Date:  Friday, January 17th, 2020
Time:  2pm - 5pm
Charge:  There is no charge for this event. Refreshments will be provided.

Should I Stay or Should I Go? Making the Complex Decision to Stay on or Leave Insurance Panels

with Amy Matias, PhD, LICSW, Julie Anderson, PhD, and Guy Croteau, LICSW

Moderated by Oona Metz, LICSW

 

• Do you ever feel you are tied to insurance panels? 
• Do you worry that your referrals will dry up if you don't accept insurance?  
• Do you feel a sense of moral or ethical obligation to accept clients who can only use their insurance? 
• Do you have long term clients who use their insurance and fear that no longer accepting insurance will mean you will have to transfer or terminate treatment?

If you have ever asked yourself any of these questions, this presentation is for you. The decision to be an insurance provider in this day and age is a complicated one. Please join us as three psychotherapists in private practice - one who accepts insurance, one who left the panels a year ago, and one who has recently decided to leave - discuss these important questions. There will be plenty of time for discussion and Q&A following the presentation.

Each year, the NSGP Practice Development Committee offers ongoing, informal gatherings in order to  educate our community of clinicians and to provide up to date information on all things that affect our practice.  Our short format programs are cost effective and don’t interfere with work or play.  They are a great way to connect with other clinicians and learn from local experts.  Our events are open to NSGP members and non-members.  We encourage all who are interested in growing a healthy and successful practice to attend.  We look forward to seeing you at our next event.
