Upcoming Events
3rd Annual Reflective Supervision/Consultation Symposium:
Mining the Depths, An Exploration of Equity Through the Reflective Process
August 1-3, 2018 at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO
Co-sponsored by the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health (the Alliance) and the Colorado Association for Infant Mental Health (CoAIMH)
PLEASE NOTE: Registration is currently closed. If you’d like to placed on the wait list, please contact CoAIMH at info@coaimh.org ASAP.
The 3rd Annual RS/C Symposium is an opportunity for mid-career and advanced infant mental health practitioners to deepen their understanding of reflective supervision/consultation through short presentations by invited speakers, the experience of observing reflective supervision sessions, and small group-guided reflection and discussion on the larger group experience.
Symposium attendees will get the most out of the event if they have already received RS/C training and have experience providing and/or receiving RS/C. The event is also an opportunity for the Alliance to recognize the work of leaders in the field and to bring research and new horizons to our attention through invited speakers, networking opportunities, and discussions. We invite all experienced reflective practitioners to register to attend this premier event.
This year, Colorado’s addition to the Symposium is to explore issues of equity, diversity and intersectionality in the context of Reflective Supervision and Consultation. Thus, the theme of the Symposium is Mining the Depths, an Exploration of Equity through the Reflective Process.
There is space for a maximum of 150 people to attend the Symposium on the beautiful campus of the Colorado School of Mines in the historic town of Golden (15 miles west of Denver). Registration ($400) includes event programming, and on-campus housing and meals. Registration details will be distributed beginning in May 2018 to all 29 Alliance state members.
PLEASE NOTE:
-
CO is one of 29 state members of the Alliance. As the host state, we start with 50 slots and after every other Alliance member takes their predetermined slots, the remaining slots of the 150 go out to all Alliance members (including CO) for registration. This is not an RS/C training, but rather an experience for mid-career and advanced IMH professionals who are receiving and/or providing RSC to further explore and celebrate issues related to RSC. This event is not appropriate for IMH professionals who have only a beginning understanding of/experience with RSC.
-
The Symposium is designed to create a reflective community experience. The campus environment has been chosen to support the development of this community. By your presence at the Symposium, you become a member of this community and contribute to its creation. We know from past Symposia that staying on campus for the entirety of the event allows attendees to fully participate and give attention to the reflective process. If you are not able to stay on campus, it’s important to know that the cost of lodging, meals, and programming are bundled and cannot be divided out.
