Workshops

In addition to panel discussions, video-lectures, and classes the Atlanta Center for Social Therapy has organized numerous workshops addressed to mental health professionals as well as to the general public. These workshops cover issues related to the theory and practice of social therapy, group therapy, personal growth, and community development. Many of these offerings can be adapted to meet the needs of professional development seminars and business-oriented training programs.
