ABOUT THE TRAINING

Crises in mental health are of increasing contemporary relevance for society in general, manifesting in all areas of life and work.

This well established training is designed to address this complex theme in the context of the demands of modern life and changes in human consciousness. In addition to providing a broadly based content, it offers participants opportunities to deepen an experience-based and empathic understanding for individuals struggling with their mental health including addressing challenges of those closely involved in their support.

Confidential interpersonal sharing confers on the Seminar some characteristics of a retreat.

WHAT DOES IT OFFER?
