Drawing on the clinical wisdom and practice of a wide range of Gestalt and integrative psychotherapists, Transformational Chairwork Training is designed to introduce therapists to the art and science of chairwork or psychotherapeutic dialogues in an active, creative, and clinically-useful manner.

Using didactic presentations, scripted and unscripted role-plays, and live demonstrations, participants will see how to use this technique to address several common clinical situations:

1. Making Decisions;
2. Resolving Loss, Grief, and “Unfinished Business”;
3. Combating the Inner Critic;
4. Healing from Abuse; and
5. Working with Addictive Disorders.

This training is focused on empowering both Mental Health Professionals and those who work with Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorders.

The next Transformational Chairwork Training will take place:

Date: Friday, August 6, 2010
Time: 9:30pm - 4:00pm
Location: New York University, Deutsches Haus, 42 Washington Mews

8th National Harm Reduction Conference: Harm Reduction Beyond Borders!

The 8th National Harm Reduction Conference will bring together approximately 2,000 drug users, ex-drug users, researchers, sex workers, social workers, doctors, politicians and community organizers from around the country and abroad to share perspectives on Harm Reduction.  

The National Harm Reduction Conference is the only multidisciplinary gathering in the United States focusing on the health of individuals and communities impacted by drug use. The purpose of the conference is to inspire and explore new perspectives on incorporating Harm Reduction into direct services, public policy and individual lives.  

This year's lifting of the ban on federal funding for syringe exchange promises for a renewed and dynamic collaboration between public health officials and grassroots organizations. This is an opportunity to uphold the right to health and dignity of this marginalized community. We hope you will join us in Austin, Texas in our efforts to combat these public health emergencies and implement real and lasting change.
