Raise your Collaborative Practice strategies and skills, form meaningful and long-lasting professional connections, and benefit from the insights generated by an interdisciplinary group of practitioners dedicated to their craft.

Facilitated by Woody Mosten and Ron Ousky for a third year, 90-minute monthly meetings will feature a focused topic for in-depth study as well as time for case consultation where members can bring questions and practice problems for discussion and feedback from the group and facilitators.

This group is designed to explore some of the most important issues facing Collaborative Professionals today and to help you become more adept, resourceful, and effective in your practice. You will learn from Woody and Ron’s extensive experience, along with an array of talented guest speakers who themselves are leaders in the field.

Enrollment is limited to 14 participants who develop a trusted bond for confidential discussions throughout the year. This small-group format creates opportunities for you to form professional connections and receive individualized guidance from Ron and Woody.

The Collaborative Practice Consultation and Study Group meets on the second Tuesday of each month (with some exceptions) (see below for the complete schedule), via Zoom from 9:30-11:00am PT (12:30-2:00pm ET).
