PAA Ethics Round Table – Topic TBD w/ Dr. Deena Martin

Virtual (Zoom)

PAA Ethics Round Tables (PERT), is a peer-support program to enhance ethical professional practice and decision making.

This program is not intended to provide clinical supervision nor to offer an expert opinion or detailed consultation on one specific case. This program is not personalized professional guidance such as that offered by the College of Alberta Psychologist’s Professional Guidance program nor is it one-to-one practice advisor support such as that offered by the PAA Practice Advisor Program. These sessions will not be recorded, and minutes or notes will not be taken.

Performance: It’s not (only) what you think – 6CE Credit

Calgary TBD Calgary, Alberta

Personality. How often have you heard someone say: “It's just the way I am/She/He is/They are.”? What do you find first comes to mind for you? A word used but often misunderstood and even misapplied at times. A model for the New Big Five is used to zoom in on personality, and four of the five major sections are unpacked. This six-session composition is designed to unpack, educate, reorganize, and vitalize the perception of how to work with your clients.
