Welcome, colleagues!
To our new members: We are so excited to have you join the Consultation Liaison Network, in our efforts towards a flourishing psychoanalytic world that can feel inclusive and relevant to all. We'd love to know a little bit more about you and your particular interests, as we continue to grow as a community.
To our familiar faces: Thank you for your ongoing support and engagement! We as an organization are constantly changing, and we know that other aspects of your life may be in flux as well. Please take a moment to consider how your interests and availability might look over the coming year.
Here are some of our current CLN initiatives/offerings:
- Bimonthly CLN community meeting (every 3rd Saturday of odd-numbered months)
- Experiential process groups on diversity & otherness (in which group members discuss how aspects of their identities & intersectionality impact how they show up and experience others, paying attention to the "here-and-now" process & group dynamics that emerge -- these are extremely powerful ways of learning and deepening our capacity for self-awareness)
- Smaller peer "cross-pollination" consultation/support groups (for members to share about DEIB-related initiatives they may be working on at their local institutions/organizations, to get support, feedback/advice & inspiration from others in the group)
- More formal consultation to organizations/communities struggling w/ DEIB issues, enactments, or wanting help implementing Holmes Commission recommendations
We welcome all levels of involvement and ideas. If you have any questions about the above or other aspects of the CLN, please contact us at connect@CLNetwork.org!
Warmly,
Hannah Krystal, Membership Chair
Elisa Cheng & Jasmine Ueng-McHale, Co-Chairs
on behalf of the Consultation Liaison Network
