MAY RAFTING TRIP

DAUGHTER AND  MOTHER WEEK END

A little mother/daughter time can warm the heart like nothing else.  Wendy Andrick, Charyn McDonnell. and Sharon Bitz joined ten girls and eight moms for three days and two nights on the Oregon coast, April 26-28.  The weather was balmy enough for some morning ocean side yoga.  We wrote and shared our writings and we ate wonderful food that the mom’s prepared. We enjoyed seeing the moms connecting with each other and with their daughters in a fun informal way.  Thanks to the mothers who traveled great distances in several cases for this occasion.  

CLINICAL TRAINING
  May 17, Mount Bachelor Academy, New Leaf Academy (in Bend) and Northstar Center (in Bend) sponsored a clinical training for counseling staff from ten western Aspen Education Group programs: Mount Bachelor, Northstar, New Leaf Academy, Sagewalk, Sunhawk, Aspen Ranch, Copper Canyon Academy, Youthcare, Oakley, and Island View.  Each program sent a representative or two and the four local programs sent 10 or more staff members; there were 72 of us in all. We had the distinct privilege to learn from Sharon Roszia, MS (one of the world’s foremost experts on adoption, attachment and grief) in a full day clinical training.  Ms. Roszia’s teaching focused on working with adolescents who have experienced losses and how to best process those through the use of non-verbal therapies.  It was an enriching experience which provided us with new insights and ideas in how to support young people who are struggling.
