Date: Friday, March 24, 2023  |  Time: 2:30-4:30pm Arizona time
Location: Virtual Zoom Meeting (link will be provided before event)
Cost: FREE to All Arizona Graduate Students in a helping profession degree program (e.g., MSW, Counseling, MFT, Social Work, Psychology)

Certificate of Attendance: 2 hours

Many students share an interest in working with couples, but get a bit overwhelmed at managing the dynamics in the room. This workshop will provide an overview of the basics in structuring couples sessions, as well as providing a brief understanding of Attachment Theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy. EFT and Attachment Theory are non-pathologizing approaches, and are based in the science of humans' instinct and drive to feel important, special, and loved. Participants will have an opportunity to reflect on their own relationships and attachment styles, and explore how that impacts them in their work as a clinician.
