Working with Addictions Online: There’s Always More Than One Elephant

NAVIGATING VIRTUAL COUNSELLING IN 2024

Four years on from the start of the pandemic, new research and new learnings provide us with direction for doing video counselling better.

Discoveries in fields as diverse as neuroscience and social psychology give us clues about how we process information and (re)act in online environments. Lawrence Murphy, founder of the first online clinical practice, will dive deep into these discoveries and the implications for the ethics and clinical practice of video work with clients struggling with addiction.

Please Note: The event has been changed from March 20 to April 3, 2024. All registrants will have access to the recorded session for a year after the live event.
