Taking the Role of Change Agent for Collective Healing

Professional training with CE credits
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 20, 2020 in Lancaster, Pa.
During this time of political and social upheaval and change, many helping professionals struggle to find ways to respond. For some, this means donating money, or marching in rallies, or posting on social media. Others work behind the scenes on political campaigns, and some people may just shake their heads in despair.

Many are considering how they may adapt their 1-1 therapeutic and educational skills to address the wider social problems of community trauma, social justice and collective healing, but they don’t know where to start. They don’t know how to select what cause they will direct their energy toward or how they can be most effective in supporting genuine change in their communities.

In this interactive training workshop, instructed by Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, we will explore what a change agent is, how to take the role with grace and empowerment and support others to use their skills and gifts to become capable of making a collective difference in their corner of the world.

In this training, you will learn:

  • How to define the role of a change agent.
  • How to identify and honor your personal feelings about our current social and political upheaval.
  • How to identify the choices that are available with play, spontaneity and intention.
  • How to connect with your inner knowing to find your best direction.
  • How to work through your own blind spots so that you can work most effectively with your clients, students and others, whatever their political beliefs.
  • How to practice self care and avoid burnout
