Alsana & The Body Positive are pleased to present a 1.5 Hour virtual continuing education event
What Does It Mean for Your Clinical Work to Embody Social Justice as a Core Value?
Presented by Elizabeth Scott, LCSW, CEDS-S
We will explore:
- What our client’s symptoms reveal about oppressive social conditions.
- The innovative construct of “embodiment”, which expands our perspective from the limiting framework of “body image”.
- The rich, constructive and positive resources offered in Niva Piran’s Developmental Theory of Embodiment.
- How a cultural perspective in clinical treatment leads to challenging power inequities and oppressive social conditions.
