To help mental health practitioners stay up-to-date on the most current advances in clinical treatment, The Family Institute offers continuing professional education through workshops, seminars, conferences and clinical consultation.

Spring Workshop Series

The postgraduate workshop series includes half and whole day presentations designed to help mental health professionals strengthen and heal families, couples and individuals.  Leading experts present current theories, practical and innovative applications and treatment techniques, each focusing on a specific clinical issue.
