October 4, 2020What is mental health? And what does creativity have to do with it? Two psychotherapists, Hugh Polk and Rachel Mickenberg, share the effectiveness of social therapy as a psychotherapy in which they and their clients together create emotional growth and health—regardless of psychiatric diagnosis or presenting problem. In this webinar, Hugh and Rachel will introduce the ABCs of social therapy and how it is practiced in ongoing weekly therapy and community workshops of diverse groupings of people. After that, four of their clients will join them to talk about their own adventures in creating their mental health and growing emotionally through social therapy. Webinar participants will be invited to take part in the conversation. Please join us!

Meeting ID: 843 6284 6189
Passcode: 462977Our Presentation:
For the last 4 months, Valerie Chronis Bickett has attended the Bay Area Hearing Voices Family Support Group (by Zoom) co-led by Tim Dreby, author and therapist and psychiatric survivor. She doesn't miss a Monday night even though in Cincinnati, it's late. The co-leaders do a beautiful job of listening to family members and responding in depth.Over the past twelve years Tim has been running survivor-led group therapy that encourages participants to share their untold stories of "psychosis" or what he prefers to term special messages crisis. From these experiences, Tim has developed a training that redefines what is commonly termed, "psychosis" into eight components and likewise suggests eight corresponding solution strategies.
Tim will be sharing parts of his training that are aimed at helping supporters join with people who are experiencing or needing to process their emergencies.
The Presenter:   Tim Dreby, MFT is the award-winning author of: Fighting for Freedom in America: Memoir of a "Schizophrenia" and Mainstream Cultural Delusions. He has worked for the last eighteen years in an Intensive Outpatient Program in Oakland California.
For more information on Tim's approach you may visit his website at:Â www.timdreby.com
His book is available on his website. -
