PAST EVENTS

Spring Conference 2010

The two-day long Spring 2010 conference was a hit! It offered a review and refresher on classic evidence-supported treatments. Contemporary therapies that reflect both an expansion of well-established practices and new practice in mental health counseling were be presented. Day One was a presentation by Dr. Kelly G. Wilson, who provided an excellent review of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Ethical and legal issues involving clinical practice and research were also explored and speed mentoring provided an opportunity for students and early career psychologists to get some mentoring from experienced psychologists.
