  Sacred Science For Clinicians October 16, 2018 Given the interest in complimentary alternative methods of treatment expressed by members of NASW/CT, we are following up on the workshop offered at our Spring Conference with this informative seminar presented by Jessica Serra, LCSW.  The workshop will focus on two treatment paradigms within the realm designated as the “sacred sciences”—Ayurvedic Medicine and Botanical/ Earth Medicine. Workshop participants will be guided through the Ayurvedic philosophy, a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing that has its origins in Northern India.  How this eastern psychological and “whole self health” framework conceptualizes anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic stress will be explored.  Attendees will learn about balancing nutrition/digestion and sample herbal and botanical supports for mental wellness and the role they play as healers while learning fundamental self-care rituals that can be adapted to clinical work with clients.   Click here for more information or to register.

  Join Us for the UConn vs. UMass Football Game NASW/CT has a new initiative; to get social workers to work a little less and socialize a little more.  Burnout and compassion fatigue are not just the result of the job, they are also partly due to not taking the time to take really good care of ourselves.  So when UConn asked us to help them and help ourselves at the same time by inviting our members to their football games, we jumped at the chance.  What could be better for us than a day out in the fresh air, making some new friends, and cheering on our beloved Huskies?  And for a really great price!  Game time to be announced.
