Program: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. CT
Webinar hosted by the Rural Behavior al Health Practice Series Committee.
As our sociopolitical world descends into extreme divisiveness, families and friendship networks are fraying. W e can just keep doing our traditional work addressing the client issues tha t we are most familiar with, in the hope that the public fever will break b efore long. Or we can expand our vision and see therapy as building capaci ty for people to cope with political stress and live in a pluralistic democ racy where people close to them differ from them politically. This worksho p will offer an expanded vision for the role of therapists in today’s troub led times. It will focus on helping clients navigate the personal and rela tional minefields of political stress in their everyday lives, and it will describe the presenter’s experience in depolarizing political “reds” and “b lues” through workshops sponsored by an organization called Braver Angels.< /p>
This session is at the intermediate level and is designed for psychol ogists and other mental health professionals.
