Recap of January 2023 Conference
We enjoyed a half day of training at our January CCPC workshop from David Van Dyke, PhD, on “Successful Marriages and Families in the Midst of Post-Covid Challenges.” Dr. Van Dyke gave a very engaging and informative presentation, looking at numerous effects of Covid on marriages and families, both positive and negative. The discussion included a review of the biopsychosocial impacts of Covid on individuals, couples, and families, as well as practical clinical and personal skills. This workshop had a great response from all who attended.
Recap of October 2022 Conference
We enjoyed a full day of training at our annual CCPC conference from Carolyn Leaf, PhD, on ‘Cleaning up your Mental Mess.” Attendees gained an overview of neuroscientific strategies to manage thoughts to help reduce anxiety and depression. Dr. Leaf discussed mind-management – how the science can help us transition from being aware of toxic thoughts, to catching and managing them in their early stages. It was a great time of networking and discussion.
