    Course Description: 

    Introduction to Internal Family Systems is a three hour course for masters level clinicians and beyond who are interested in learning the foundations of the Internal Family Systems modality. In this interactive, virtual course, participants will be introduced to “parts work”, and learn about the protective system that exists within us all. Participants will develop a sense of “Self-energy” and learn to apply this lens toward work with clients of varying symptomatic presentations, including work with culturally diverse and/or marginalized populations. Additionally, participants will be given the opportunity to experientially witness their own parts and begin to map out their internal systems, resulting in a clear understanding of IFS applications.

    Target audience: social workers and counselors

    Content level: intermediate

    Who Should Attend: This live, interactive workshop is designed for social workers and counselors at all levels of experience and licensure to explore or gain a better working knowledge of Internal Family Systems.
