The NBCC Foundation will host the 2019 Bridging the Gap Symposium: Eliminating Mental Health Disparities May 22–24, 2019, at the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel, in Atlanta, Georgia.
This year’s cutting-edge event will include a comprehensive mix of NBCC-approved continuing education topics within the overall theme of Counseling for a Lifetime, with a specific focus on counseling techniques and perspectives for childhood, adolescence, transition-age/young adulthood, middle adulthood, and mature adulthood.
The 2019 Symposium will also feature an opportunity to explore the clinical implications of intergenerational, multicultural counseling perspectives at the pre-Symposium event, Legacies and Lifetimes: A Counselor-Focused Exploration of Civil Rights Era Atlanta. The experience consists of a day trip to the Auburn Street historical district in Atlanta, including visits to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site Visitor Center and its surrounding historical exhibits, churches, businesses, and residences, as well as a group meal and community engagement activity at Big Bethel AME Church on Wednesday, May 22. The day concludes with an engaging small group session and panel discussion back at the conference hotel. This special event will be provided at no additional cost to Symposium attendees, but space is limited, so register now to reserve your spot!
And there’s more…
2019 marks the fifth anniversary of the Bridging the Gap Symposium and the graduation of the first cohort of NBCC Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) Fellows. This year’s Symposium programming will include reunion opportunities for all NBCC MFP and NBCC Foundation Scholarship alumni, as well as the first ever Bridging the Gap Awards, an event designed to honor our distinguished alumni and volunteers.
