Registration
Description
Glenn Walsh (they/them), a registered psychotherapist and a member of NunatuKavut (Southern Labrador) with Inuit and European ancestry will share some of their experience providing remote psychotherapy services to members of NunatuKavut, wherever they reside, often in remote and isolated communities.
Some of the challenges Glenn has experienced include:
- Unreliable technical connections
- Lack of first responder services or services that were not immediately available
- Lack of specialized services to which they could refer complex cases
- Reliance on funding for continuation of services (as it relates to appropriately closing with clients)
- Client fear of confidentiality breaches in small communities
- Dual relationships
This event will be an interactive conversation that allows participants to bring their lived experience and identities into the space.
