This online workshop for practitioners will showcase contemporary theory related to climate crisis anxiety at the cutting edge of current clinical thinking. Presenters Marisa Mabli, LCSW, and Aleksandra Rayska, PhD, both graduates of WTCI, will focus on the feminist perspective of the issue of climate change, which brings to the forefront the intertwined issues of gender, oppression, and social justice. We will also look at ways in which both clients and therapists are impacted by the trauma of climate change anxiety.
At this year’s Laurie Phillips Memorial Lecture, we welcome back Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis, who will introduce the philosophy of ubuntu—I am who am I am because we are who we are—and introduce her work on fierce love (in relation to self, community and world) in order to explore what it means to engage the client as agent in making a both a better life and a better, antiracist world. This online event offers 2.0 CEUs for qualified practitioners (see link below for details) and is also open to the public.
