Summer is here and I am done with workshops for the season. Phew! Although I thoroughly enjoyed meeting wonderful folks all across the country, I am in need of a little R&R after a rather punishing pace since the Fall. I will only be blogging intermittently during the next couple of months as I am taking part of July and the entire month of August off. Being self-employed is not always all it's cracked up to be (no job security, no pension, no sick pay), but one real bonus is having control over your schedule.
Here are some upcoming events that may interest you:
The next Compassion Fatigue Train the Trainer sessions will be held in Ottawa November 4-5th and in Kingston November 16-17th. The pre-requisite course, Walking the Walk, will be offered on October 15th in Ottawa and November 15th in Kingston. For more information on the Ottawa course, please visit Safeguards. For more information on the Kingston event, please visit www.compassionfatigue.ca
Back by popular demand - a workshop just for Managers with Dr Pat Fisher: June 13-14th, 2011 in Kingston. This manager's workshop received rave reviews last May. Please visit my website for more information.
Save the date! The first annual Compassion Fatigue Conference will be held on June 15-16th 2011 in Kingston with Dr Gabor Maté and Laura van Dernoot Lipsky as keynote speakers. Please visit the conference website for more information.
Toronto's Leading Edge Seminars has just published their Fall schedule, and wow, what a great lineup! In particular, I draw your attention to John Briere's workshop on "Deconstructing Trauma: Memory Exposure, Mindfulness and Existential Awareness in Psychotherapy". As many of you know, John Briere has had a great influence on my clinical work and I heartily recommend you go hear him if you have not already done so.
