EMDR therapy has evolved into a comprehensive approach that treats problems of daily living that stem from low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and problems with self-regulation, all byproducts of complex trauma. In this workshop, you’ll learn how EMDR can be used as a relational approach treat complex developmental trauma, not just by targeting painful memories, but by creating the conditions that make it possible for the client to “go there.” As social workers, we know how an attuned “other” can help our clients feel safe enough to process painful experiences that have been previously unapproachable, making it a shared experience that transforms client and therapist alike.

October 25th-27th 

Join us for our annual self-care retreat for social workers - our version of "Camp"!  No camp experience necessary! 

Our 3rd annual "Camp" event takes place at a beautiful location in Northern MN with warm cozy cabins and lodges, a gorgeous lake view, great food, and tons of fun activities (all which count as CEU's)! At least 10 CEUS will be offered - attend as much or as little as you like! Join us after work on Friday through brunch on Sunday - invite your social work friends or come alone and plan to meet new ones - and we promise you'll leave feeling refreshed and ready to return again!

Your comfort and safety are the top priority for this event. In particular, we want to ensure a safe experience for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, diverse ability status, and all identities. We strive to provide an experience that is anti-racist and reflective of our professional and organizational values. This includes (but is not limited to) accessible rooms and spaces, and the opportunity to choose your level of engagement in all activities.

Camp NASW-MN lodging is in indoor, heated cabins; cabins have shared bedrooms with beds that sleep one person and/or bunk beds that sleep one person per bunk.
