I coordinate a lecture series at Austen Riggs, and I’d like to invite you all to attend the next one (and to attend the series generally!). All lectures are free and offer continuing education credits for most clinical guilds.
This Friday, September 11 at 6:30pm EDT, former Austen Riggs medical director Ed Shapiro, MD will be giving a lecture called Finding a Place to Stand: The Connection between Institutional Membership and Citizenship. The lecture draws upon the work he did for his recent book on citizenship, and is certainly timely. The event will include some participatory, interactive learning.
Registration is required– fill out this online form and you’ll get a Zoom link in your email:
