"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."
- Aristotle
Workshops and Lectures
Full day workshops offer another dimension for personal growth and provides an opportunity for a unique interactive group learning experience. Workshops and retreats on mindful eating, body image, and overall self-care are offered seasonally in the Spring and Fall.
Lectures and presentations on a diversity of mental health-related issues are available to professional groups, community agencies, college students and those seeking in-service training. Social workers seeking continuing education units (CEUs) can choose half-day or full-day workshops that meet state licensing requirements.
In the future, I will also provide training for professionals in leading an eight-week group model for binge eating disorder. This innovative model, which incorporates mindfulness principles and skills, is discussed in an article I authored and published in Clinical Social Work Journal (Starkman, 2016).
