GVSU workshop focuses on challenges of group conflicts

The Counseling and Career Development Center at Grand Valley State University will host a workshop that will focus on the challenges and opportunities that arise within diverse groups.

“Dealing with Multicultural Ruptures in an Organization” will feature Melba Vasquez, a national leader in multicultural psychotherapy. During her career, Vasquez’s publications and presentations have provided the field of psychology with a model for more inclusive and culturally responsive practice. She is currently the director of a private psychology practice in Austin, Texas.

The workshop is set for Thursday, November 6, beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Kirkhof Center, Grand River Room, on the Allendale Campus. Cost to attend is $90 ($50 for students) and includes lunch.

Annually since 1997, the Counseling Center has brought national speakers to Grand Valley to discuss multicultural issues in a workshop setting.
