Welcome to "Enhancing Presence: A New Approach to Mental Health Management." a CFPC accredited program

 Dear Esteemed Colleague,

With genuine enthusiasm, I am pleased to announce the accreditation of our transformative program, "Enhancing Presence: A New Approach to Mental Health Management." (CFPC CPD program number 200672).  This isn't merely a workshop; it's an invitation into a journey of deepened understanding and presence.

Program Schedule and Structure:  

Throughout the year, our program offers 50 standalone sessions, each spanning 1.5 hours. These are thoughtfully scheduled every Friday from 9:30 to 11:00 am at the Ajax Harwood Clinic, 88 Harwood Avenue South, Ajax, Ontario. Recognizing the demanding schedules physicians often grapple with, our flexible design allows you to participate in the sessions that align best with your availability.

A defining element of our program is the real-time, clinical setting, where participants, including patients, engage in a shared experiential learning journey. Additionally, every session integrates the profound practice of ear acupuncture, granting participants the opportunity to achieve an even deeper level of presence.

Agenda and Content:  

Breaking away from traditional didactic workshops, our program is anchored in experiential learning. Through each session, participants embark on reflective and embodied learning journeys, enriched by personal experiences and shared narratives from peers and patients alike. To further elucidate, the "BEST MAP" document has been included, offering a hint of the myriad experiences awaiting exploration.
