National Mental Health Counseling Week
National Prevention Week
Most couples wait six years to get the help they need. This weekend intensive style class will take couples through Drs. John and Julie Gottman's 7 Principles for Making Marriage (or committed relationships) Work. There will be resources, lectures, video examples and facilitated application of each principle included in the weekend price per couple. Here is what a class Alumni is saying: "My wife and I really enjoyed this Gottman class. We learned some really practical and applicable lessons we were able to apply immediately to our marriage. Grayson was a great teacher, explaining the topics clearly, concisely and with just the right amount of humor. Highly recommend!
Early Career Professionals Committee
The Business of Private Practice

The Early Career Professionals (ECP) Committee is happy to host the Business of Private Practice event. This event will focus on the business side of private practice in order to clarify common ECP concerns. Questions like, “What do I need to do to start a private practice?” “What are legal considerations I need to be sure to know?” “Should I take insurance or be private pay?”
This event will include an expert panel so our members can benefit from multiple perspectives who can speak to legal, ethical, and business considerations for private practice. Importantly, there will be a substantial Q&A portion, so you can receive tailored advice for your questions from our expert panel. There will be an opportunity to ask questions that arise during the event, but if you would like to submit questions ahead of time, please email them to ECP Committee Chair Dr. Lindsay Elizondo at dr.elizondo@lindsayelizondopsyd.com.
Whether you’ve been in private practice for some time or are wondering whether or not you should make the initial jump to solo practice, we’re hoping this event will provide you with some valuable information.
Get to know our panelists:
David Leatherberry represents solo and small group health care practices, providing business, regulatory and licensing support. He has been counsel for the San Diego Psychological Association since approximately 2007, where he advises members regularly on legal and ethical issues affecting their practice. He defends providers from San Francisco to San Diego before all licensing boards. He advises practices on numerous compliance issues related to privacy, anti-kickback, false claims, billing and recoupment, employment, and practice formation and transition. Prior to going into private practice, he worked for the University of San Diego School of law, Mental Health Advocacy Program, providing regulatory support both to consumers and LPS designated hospitals. He was subsequently awarded the California State Bar’s highest honor for pro bono service for his volunteer work with the homeless mentally ill. He is the immediate past chair of the Health Law Committee for the California Lawyers Association Business Law Section, and is currently an adjunct professor at the University of San Diego School of Law where he teaches contract drafting. He is a past instructor in Law and Ethics for psychologists, MFTs and counselors, and is a frequent panelist at the annual conference of the California Psychological Associations.

For the past 9 years, she has also worked at a local, 24-hour crisis center facility that is a step down from a hospital. As a result of her time there, she is well-versed in crisis management and has considerable experience treating the chronically mentally ill. She holds a Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology.

Youth drug and alcohol use and misuse can have serious consequences. The impacts of substance use are experienced by the entire family and community. Adolescent substance use can contribute to numerous negative health, social, and behavioral outcomes that can be experienced immediately and over the lifetime. These can include disruptions in physical and mental health, legal consequences, adjustment problems in school or the workplace, and violent or aggressive behavior.

International Day of Friendship
Our world faces many challenges, crises and forces of division — such as poverty, violence, and human rights abuses — among many others — that undermine peace, security, development and social harmony among the world's peoples.
This year, we will focus on the first responders to human trafficking. These are the people who work in different sectors - identifying, supporting, counselling and seeking justice for victims of trafficking, and challenging the impunity of the traffickers.
International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples
While the exact origins of COVID-19 have not yet been confirmed, the link between environmental damage and pandemics is well known to leading research organizations. But there is yet another group of experts, who have been worrying about the threat of a pandemic even before COVID-19: indigenous peoples. Thanks to their traditional knowledge and their relationship with the natural world, they have long known that the degradation of the environment has the potential to unleash disease.
