Ecotherapy also provides ways for counselors and healthcare providers to utilize nature contacts and connections to promote physical and mental health.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1>This experiential workshop provides an orientation to the historical background and theoretical approaches associated with ecotherapy. Participants will learn applications of ecotherapy in counseling and healthcare settings and opportunities for integrating ecotherapy practices into their personal and professional lives. We will also survey psychological research regarding human-nature relationships, and conservation behaviors that point to the efficacy of ecotherapy interventions. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1 style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b>Date:</b> Friday, April 19, 2013<o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1 style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b>Time:</b> 9 a.m.-4 p.m.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1 style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b>Instructor:</b> Patricia Hasbach, Ph.D.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1 style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b>Noncredit/CEU:</b> 6 hours, $125 by April 5, $150 after. $40 for students.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1 style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>Learn more at <a href="https://graduate.lclark.edu/live/events/14309-emerging-trends-in-ecotherapy">https://graduate.lclark.edu/live/events/14309-emerging-trends-in-ecotherapy</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#17365D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#17365D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#17365D'>Becky Eklund, Executive Director<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#17365D'>Oregon Board of Licensed<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#17365D'> Professional Counselors & Therapists<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#17365D'>3218 Pringle Road SE, Suite 250<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#17365D'>Salem, OR 97302-6312<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#17365D'>(503) 378-5499<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#17365D'>Fax: (503) 373-1427<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#17365D'><a href="http://www.oregon.gov/oblpct">www.oregon.gov/oblpct</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
