ARE YOU IN THERE SOMEWHERE?

Tuesday Evening, 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
September 14, October 19, November 2, 2010
With Mariah Fenton Gladis, Dori Middleman and Mark Putnam

If you have an intense interest in personal or professional growth, this evening open house/demonstration is an excellent way for you to experience some basic Gestalt awareness concepts. Many have learned these principles to help create positive changes in their lives with family, friends, and themselves. Clinicians, administrators, and consultants in human services, education, health, and organizational development have found Gestalt techniques have enriched and expanded their skills for working with people, groups, and organizations.

Our Center believes that knowledge of how to mend emotional damage should not just be reserved to professionals but must also become disseminated into the general population. It takes healthy people with this know-how to create and maintain productive and harmonious relationships in their families, their community and the world.

This exciting demonstration will allow you to experience our Center's special blend of Gestalt with a discussion of the Awareness and Contact Cycle and its applicability to clinical practice and daily life. Mariah Gladis will also demonstrate a piece of Gestalt work with a volunteer. Bring along a friend to join us in these exciting demonstrations, and while you're here, take the opportunity to meet our excellent staff and learn about our programs.

CEUs: This program has been approved by the Pennsylvania Board of Social Work Examiners for 2.5 hours of continuing education toward PA/LSW licensure renewal.
