back to July 2024 newsletter
Hello! We hope that you are doing well and staying cool. Here we are in July - a month full of summer activities, vacations and more celebrations. We hope you enjoyed your July 4th holiday.

July is also National Disability Independence Month. This is an opportunity for us to look at our processes to ensure that we are fostering a more inclusive and compassionate therapeutic environment; as well as celebrate the lives of activists including - Malala Yousafzai and Nelson Mandela. It is also BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month.

In this newsletter, you will find articles about the immigrant story of a therapist in our community, Gia Reyes; a commemoration of National Disability Independence Month; and a poem from Edna. Although summer is a busy time, please consider attending our summer workshops: Sex therapy techniques for shame and anxiety with David Khalili, Brainspotting with Lisa Larson, Mothers-in-law from the South Asian Perspective by Kalapana Asok, and our first in-person Law and Ethics workshop since the pandemic with Dave Jensen. The L&E workshop will be on October 18th. If you need L&E CE units before October, CAMFT has an upcoming one on September 20th.

Networking with other therapists is an important way to receive support. Please join us at our monthly Coffee Talks, Cinema Therapy Club, and support groups. These groups have grown in popularity.

We want to leave you with one thought. If you love to write, please consider contributing to our newsletter. We hope that you find joy and gratitude for the rest of this July month.
