East and West National Clinical Training Seminars this fall will offer two different Group Relations Events:
“Roles, Boundaries, and Vulnerability in Care-Providing Institutions” and
“Leadership and Membership in Diverse Organizations”
In our ongoing program to expose CPSP members to the Group Relations methodology -- a foundational resource for all pastoral caregivers -- we are offering two Group Relations events this Fall, one at the National Clinical Training Seminar (NCTS)-West and one at NCTS-East.
Jack Lampl
The West Coast event in Sacramento, CA, October 18-20, is a full residential conference which is the basic method of learning and experiencing group relations work in a deeply transformational way. Of great value to all pastoral caregivers, participating in such a conference is a requirement for all supervisors-in-training.
("Conference" as used in Group Relations describes an intensive experiential workshop of three or more days in length. It is not a conference as typically understood that would feature topical speakers and panel discussions.)
Howard Friedman
The East Coast event in Morristown, NJ, November 2-3, will provide four hours of the experiential events included in a group relations conferences and some didactic elements. The program is a learning opportunity, and may serve as an introduction to aspects of group relations work.
Both events are staffed by experienced group relations consultants affiliated with the A. K. Rice Institute.
