Final Reminder!

Dear MMHCA Members:

You’re invited! Please join us from 3pm - 6pm this Friday, April 25th, at 3970 Heritage Ave, Okemos, MI 48864. The first hour will be a meet and greet with snacks! There will also be time for networking with other counselors. Later in the meeting Chris DeBoer will present and facilitate an open discussion about Counseling in Times of Collective Stress.

What happens when we are affected by the same large-scale stressors as our clients—such as a pandemic, natural disasters, or other distressing events? How do we continue to provide support when we are also experiencing the weight of these challenges? This discussion offers a space to reflect on how shared adversity shapes our clinical work and to explore practical ways to support our clients—while also caring for our own well-being as therapists.

This is open to members and non-member guests. Please register if you plan to attend - RSVP Link. Refreshments will be provided based on RSVP numbers.

If you have questions please email us at MMHCABOARD@MMHCANOW.ORG.

In Service,

MMHCA’s Board

Krystin Sankey, Treasurer
