Training Workshops
Why do I offer training workshops?
An integral part of academic and professional development is gaining new practical and theoretical knowledge. This branch of my clinic is dedicated to such learning opportunities. On this page, I will be posting professional training opportunities that synthesize the knowledge I gained through my experience and advanced training. I adapted this knowledge to become more accessible, culturally sensitive, and affordable, in order to meet the needs of mental health students and professionals residing in lebanon. The overall theme across all workshops is building essential skills that make successful mental health professionals. The first such skill is assessing and managing suicide risk in your clinical practice.
