First of a Four-Part Series
Bobbi Beale, PsyD, Co-Director of the Center for Innovative Practices (CIP) at Case Western Reserve University, presents the first installment in a four-part series designed to help care providers care for themselves. The need for provider self-care, always a concern in the healthcare field, has been especially pronounced during Covid-19 and the myriad challenges it has brought.
Joining Dr. Beale is frequent CIP training associate, Marcia Miller, E-RYT 500, a certified yoga therapist who has been teaching yoga for over 40 years and has taught all levels and types of students from new beginners to yoga teachers and everyone in between. In 2001 Marcia was one of the founders/owners of Yoga on High. She is one of a few Master Teacher Trainers for the UZIT Trainings and directs the year-long trainings in Columbus.
Dr. Beale has specialized in designing non-traditional therapy programs for youth populations that are at risk or have trauma histories. Her programs have utilized adventure therapy (AT) to increase skills and resiliency, and include individual, family and group applications. She also worked on validating AT with clinical research in Trauma-Informed Day Treatment and implementing a new AT program with both home-based and multi-family group components. Bobbi is also a trainer and consultant on issues related to youth including: Trauma & Resiliency, Bullying, Supportive Behavior Management, Outcomes, Cultural Diversity, Evidence-Based Practices and Teambuilding.
