About Making Connections |
|
Making Connections is an effort to respond to members’ desires to get to know one another. The forum is designed for clinicians at all levels of experience and practice. The first Friday of each month, October through June (unless otherwise noted) members and their guests gather at the Institute (3:45 to 6:00 p.m.) to discuss a topic that relates to the life of the therapist. Although there will be a presenter, the focus will be on dialoguing with the opportunity to share personal thinking, wisdom, and challenges related to being in the profession. One of the main goals of Making Connections is to provide an open forum for discussion of clinical issues and dilemmas not typically discussed in other venues. There will also be time to socialize, network, and increase collegial affiliation. Please feel free to bring a guest. Making Connections is a way to give colleagues an introduction to TPI in an intimate professional setting. |
