Peer Consultation - April

Please join us for a professional Peer Consultation Virtual Zoom Group. This group is limited to fully licensed individuals as well as licensed associates (LMFT/LAMFTs, LPC/LACs, LCSW/LSWs). Join fellow systemic thinkers as we tackle subjects such as: infidelity, complex dynamics and histories, Covid-19 and personal loss, race and privilege and its impact on the clients, Person of the Therapist and self-disclosure, and so much more. This group aims to be diverse, empathetic, challenging, and an incredible combination of clinical experience and warm personalities. We meet on the third Friday of the month at 12:00pm. This group is run by Lori Posner LMFT, AAMFT Approved Supervisor. Free for all NJAMFT members.

GROUP GUIDELINES: All cases presented will be kept completely confidential. The presenting clinician will get permission from the individual, couple or family prior to presenting the case. If the presenter is working for an organization, they must get permission from their supervisor also. All identifying information will be changed. The presenting clinician will provide the background and Genogram if they use one. The history of treatment and other relevant information and their approach thus far in the case. Each peer consultation will be 90 minutes long. There will be 2 presenters or one presentation and one discussion of a topic chosen by the group. Each case/topic will get 45 minutes and all notes will be taken by the presenting clinician. This structure may be modified by the group at the time of the meeting.

This group allows clinicians to openly discuss the clinical aspects of a case to get clinical advice and perspectives from their peers. This advice and perspective is aimed at supporting and helping the treating clinician to consider, change, and improve their approach to the case. While the treating clinician is seeking support, perspective, and education in clinical decision making about the case, all interventions and liability fall to the treating clinician.
