This past weekend Michael Watson and I went to the American Society of Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama annual conference at Fordham University. It was a good conference. We were honored to receive the ASGPP Diversity Award for 2023…
“The Diversity Award is presented annually, when an appropriate candidate exists, to an ASGPP member who has demonstrated outstanding creativity, commitment, and achievement in developing environments of diversity and inclusion.”
Michael and I feel quite humbled and honored at receiving this award from the ASGPP community.
The Sociatry and Social Justice Committee also won the Council award. We also created the 2023 Diversity Forum which was quite powerful confirming and affirming. I am grateful that we as a team (Michael and I, Deb Karner, Aimee Johnson, Sheila Katzman, Ed Schreiber, Anne Lukens, and Daisy Martinez Dicarlo) have supported change, and that support is being recognized…
“The ASGPP Executive Council’s Award is presented to groups/organizations making notable contributions to ASGPP and/or distinguished work in promoting psychodrama, sociometry, and group psychotherapy”
The work is ongoing and needs to continue. As a community, we continue to support our work together.
