I'm reaching out to make you aware of a potentially
wonderful resource for the students that you make work with.
At Live Oak, we recognize the consequences of privilege,
oppression, discrimination and stigma, and therefore practice psychotherapy,
consultation, and training that affirms the value of difference. In responding
to systems of marginalization, people often cope in ways that magnify feelings
of shame, low self-esteem, and disconnection. Our affirmative and inclusive
approach is based on an understanding of an integrative change process, and
therefore provides our clients with opportunities to reduce the disintegrating
effects of power and privilege to promote self- actualization and integration.
We emphasize the extent to which growth and connection is enhanced more from
our differences than from our similarities.
The intention of this scholarship is to encourage and
support new clinicians who are aligned with these values and plan to implement
them in their practice. It is open to students currently enrolled or about to
begin graduate programs in any of following disciplines: Social Work,
Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, Art Therapy, Dance/Movement Therapy,
and Psychology. All applications are due December 1, 2017. For more information
or to apply, see our website.
Thank you and be well...
