📣 Can we have your attention, please? Did someone say ethics? 👀☀️🏕️

While your annual CEUs are due this month, why not plan ahead and knock out your next ethics requirement with us in a few weeks?! LPCs, we are looking at you, that deadline is approaching! 👀

Join us for summer camp vibes, meaningful connection, and sessions that cover the ethical concerns of working with certain populations.

Because ethics and summer retreat go together like hiking trails and deep conversations, poolside laughs and professional growth, and counselors and connection.

We are just weeks away from our annual summer leadership retreat. Have you ever joined us? This year we are integrating two topics for two days and it’s giving therapist summer camp vibes!

Come spend time connecting just outside Sulphur at the Chickasaw Retreat & Conference Center again as we dive into the histories, culture, and unique needs that shape the communities we serve. We will have sessions on ethically working with our states native people, military families, and underserved minority populations. As we expand our understanding of others we will also find meaningful opportunities to reconnect with ourselves as we examine how movement and nature offer rich opportunities to keep us resilient as clinicians.

Here’s your summer invitation to step out of your office and into community learning and connection.

July 10-11th
Friday: 10 am - 5 pm*
Saturday 8:00 am - 11:30 am**

*with evening time for yourself and/or social connection

Look who’s making the news in southwest Oklahoma! Our very own Southwest Region has been building momentum and meeting monthly to network and grow. This month they partnered with the Steven A Cohen Military Family Clinic in Lawton and hosted a free training. Region president Caley Filipek has been instrumental in the blossoming ideas for the region and is a proud Cameron University alumni as well as part of a military family. If you are in the southwest area of the state consider getting involved!

We are so grateful for those you that joined us today. We had one of the most engaging spring conferences to date! The presenters and attendees all really showed up and we interacted, laughed, and had the best dialogue about all the things that matter in our work. The Q & A’s were lively and there were so many of us connecting from across the state making connections and reconnections on breaks and at lunch. Cultivating connection is such a need and benefit to thriving as clinicians. Thank you for investing in creating community and making our learning together a wonderful occasion!
