Date: June 3, 2026
Time: 1:00 PM – 4:15 PM ET
Format: Live Virtual Training
CEs: 3 Category I CEs

Strong, healthy relationships are foundational to emotional well-being, resilience, and recovery. Yet many clients struggle with relational patterns shaped by early attachment experiences that continue to influence how they connect with others, navigate conflict, and seek support.

Join us for this engaging and interactive workshop exploring the connection between attachment theory and relationship-building in clinical practice. Participants will review core attachment styles and examine how these patterns emerge in both client relationships and therapeutic settings.

The session will introduce the Social Network Diagram, a practical and adaptable assessment and intervention tool designed to help clients visualize, understand, and strengthen their support systems. Through guided experiential activities and a live demonstration, participants will learn how to apply this paper-and-pencil technique to increase client insight, deepen relational awareness, and support meaningful change.
