THE PROGRAM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Child Care Colloquium is a workshop that focuses on important issues that affect children. It is oriented toward the needs of mental health professionals, child care workers, and teachers who work with children.
Last year's Colloquium:
The 17th Child Care Colloquium - October 29, 2011: “Children's Free Play in the Age of Digital Games and the Internet” with Carlotta Miles, M.D.
City Schools is a multi-disciplinary forum for educators and mental health professionals sponsored by the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia and the Alliance for Psychoanalytic Thought.
Educators and mental health clinicians meet at a monthly discussion group focusing on the challenges, and possibilities of public education. We examine how and why the emotional life of a developing child has such a profound impact on learning and academic achievement.
Each month we select a topic for discussion beginning with a brief presentation, followed by comments from the group, sharing different perspectives in areas where there are no easy answers.
“City Schools” facilitates a stimulating exchange of ideas between two professions that share a common interest: the academic success and emotional well-being of children in our city. The group fosters a relationship between educators and mental health clinicians to help children feel safe, respectful of others, and eager to learn. And we have fun!
Meetings are scheduled approximately monthly on Saturday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at Rockland in Fairmount Park. Bagels and coffee are provided. Remember to bring you PPID # (Professional Personnel ID) so that you can receive Act 48 hours! Act 48 hours cannot be awarded without your PPID#.
