Adolescence is an exciting and challenging time of development. Success as a group psychotherapist with this population requires courage, knowledge, humor, and creativity. Using our own group process, we will explore our own adolescence and its impact on our work as clinicians. Experiential experiences will be anchored with didactic presentations on adolescent development, attachment, and group theory. Participants will gain a better understanding of their adolescent-self and its impact on the group. Registrants are required to attend all eight sessions. CE credits will not be awarded to registrants who miss sessions.

12 CE Credits available at 0 for members/ 0 for nonmembers. This event is not recorded.
