I am finishing up my pre-doctoral therapy practicum at Seven Counties, Inc. with their Family Connections program. This has been an amazing and rewarding year, and it will be sad to say good-bye to the many clinicians who have provided me with professional guidance and support. While there, I have had the opportunity to work with clients representing the entire lifespan, from infants to grandparents. I am now preparing to begin my pre-doctoral psychology residency/internship in July at Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health, which is located in Canton, OH and is an APA-accredited internship site.
I am also gearing up to present my workshop, "Sexual Violence in U.S. Male Prisons: Dynamics, Policy, and Practice" at the annual conference of the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence in June in Sarasota, FL. I have previously presented this workshop numerous times at the Quetzal Center, a rape crisis center in Chicago, IL as well as at the MaleSurvivor International Conference this past March in New York. In addition, I've been invited to present this workshop at the 15th International Conference on Violence, Abuse, and Trauma in San Diego in September. My workshop is slightly different each time I present it, as I make attempts to modify it and structure it so that it is most relevant to each audience.
Last, and definitely not least, I am preparing to continue with data collection for my dissertation. I am looking at how certain personality traits of musicians help to cope with potentially traumatic events. Once I have collected and analyzed my data, I will be providing a discussion of the results on this blog. I anticipate being able to do this around February 2011. So, if you have participated in my study and have come hear to view the results, please plan to visit again around that time.
That's it for now! Again, thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to sharing my upcoming professional development experiences with you all.
