Kauai
Aloha Friends,
We had our first new monthly chapter meeting Friday August 5th 11:45 am -1:15 pm . The meeting was small as several members were on summer holidays this month. Thank you to those of you who let me know about your scheduled vacations and plans to attend future meetings.
While we start as a new independent HAMFT, our group is not at all new as we have been friends and colleagues for many years. Those of us at the meeting discussed having topic discussions in areas of interest and sharing treatment strategies. One of the first areas of interest is that of effective trauma interventions (old and new ideas) and will be followed up at our meeting in September. We also discussed inviting a key guest professional to come to a meeting as an informal meet and greet to facilitate networking and promoting our common areas of concern in the community ( a family law attorney, psychiatrist, primary care doctor, etc.)
Please join us at our next meeting with your ideas, enthusiasm and vision as we continue to support one another in our work as MFTs on Kauai.
We will be having regular brown bag lunch meetings on the 2nd Friday of the month with the next meeting scheduled for September 9 at 11:45 am to 1:15 pm
I will be hosting the meetings at my office, 4442 Hardy St., Ste. 102 , Lihue. For directions. please call 482-0994.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
Aloha
