<H2>Sunday Night Diversity Dialogue An AGPS Quarterly Book/Film/Discussion Group Religion</H2>
What associations do you have with the term religion? From different viewpoints, religion can serve as a source of community and identity, a source of pain and trauma, a framework for how we view the world and find comfort in hard times, or a justification for oppression and violence.   
In this dialogue, we will explore the experiences of, beliefs about, and biases towards religion that we bring into the therapy room as group leaders. We will also explore how these impact how we attend to or avoid religion in group sessions. We will discuss the challenges that arise when the Pandora’s box of religion is opened. Participants will identify tools to facilitate courageous conversations on the topic of religion.
Non-alcoholic beverages and light snacks will be offered.
Charge:  There is no charge for this event.
Note:  All therapists and students in the therapy field are welcome. Hosted by:  AGPS Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Committee and facilitated by Stacy Spencer, LCSW
