Other SWEET Services and Events
In-Person Seminars:
SWEET offers a wide variety of in-person seminars both locally and nationally that are designed to facilitate empowerment. Through collective learning and role play, the Socratic and Desire Methods, you leave our seminars armed with new skills to implement and remain connected to a like-minded community.
In-Person Group Supervision:
Lacking a safe place to reflect and grow leads to continually experiencing negative outcomes. SWEET provides a conducive environment to foster reflection on the work you do, while promoting self-care, burnout prevention, and developing skills for excellent care. Like all our other services, empowerment is key and our ultimate goal. (See below for In-Person Group Supervision dates):
For those who have been unable to attend our in-person group supervision because of scheduling conflict or travel difficulties, SWEET is now making regular supervision possible for you through our Online Group Supervision. This takes place one Wednesday a month, 7-8:30pm, starting February 6, 2019. Contact us for any questions and/or register here. (See below for Online Group Supervision dates):
Coaching and Mentorship:
We all strive to add value to our patients and clients, our agencies, and to ourselves. We seek to be empowered, gratified, and grow. SWEET helps you do just that. We support you to advance in your career and personal lives, to contribute to your agency and to fight for the causes you believe in.
