Many of us yearn to use our skills in the wider world, but don't know how to get involved or what we can do. In this workshop, three veteran therapists will describe ways to expand the scope of your therapeutic work, from addressing critical public issues in your own community to bringing your expertise to bear on social problems in the United States and helping people suffering the traumatic effects of natural and human-made disasters here and abroad. You'll learn to recognize how your clinical interests intersect with needs in your own community and hear about how individual therapists can connect with nonprofit organizations to expand their work into the public sphere.
