Our keynote and breakout sessions provide parents and professionals with best practices for working with students, clients, children, and one another. The practices and strategies can be utilized immediately in the home, school, or clinical setting to improve relationships, focus on skills, and shed new light on the inner worlds of boys and girls, and women and men.

NEW OFFERING: TRAINING FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

Lisa Bravo will focus on effective ways to adapt clinical practices to fully engage boys and girls, and women and men. Gender plays a major role in therapy, counseling, and behavioral health outcomes yet we often spend very little time learning about its role or how to maximize gender dynamics. The Gurian Institute strategies help you help boys and girls in all of your clinical and home settings. Taught by Lisa Bravo LPC, MC, LISAC, NCC, these strategies come alive in experiential terms.  Lisa is a psychotherapist in Chandler, AZ, as well as an internationally recognized motivational speaker and author.  She is a Gurian certified trainer, she teaches at University of Phoenix, and is an expert in parenting, behavior management, mental health counseling, and addiction recovery.
