BCCAN is excited to collaborate with Cynthia (Cindy) Snyder, LCSW to provide quality group supervision for therapists working towards their LCSW, LPC, or LMFT in Pennsylvania, at no cost to the therapist.

Cindy will provide 2 hours of clinical supervision each month for up to 10 individuals, utilizing trauma informed supervision and reflective supervision models. Therapists must commit to a minimum of 6 months, with the possibility to continue.

Cindy’s career includes providing individual and group therapy to children, adolescents, and adults in several settings; clinical leadership roles in several victim services agencies; and training and consultation for multiple organizations around the region.

When engaging in supervision with Cindy, you can expect a judgement free space, and a collaborative environment to facilitate genuine discussions to promote professional development and skills to benefit the clients with whom you work.

Fighting Off Fatigue, Failure & Fear; Finding Retention and Resiliency for Leaders

Presented by Laura Widger, LCSW-R and Breanne Abbott, LCSW

Laura and Bre provide an engaging presentation that normalizes the stress we encounter as helping professionals, leaders, and humans. They will not only offer you an opportunity to assess the symptoms you may be experiencing, but offer useful ways for each participant to build a tool kit for themselves, recognize their stressors, create a plan to move past survival and find a healthier more balanced version of themselves while supporting staff.

Laura and Breanne are two trauma therapists who contemplated a career change during the peak of 2020 stress, and came to the realization we must “practice what we preach or get out of the business!” Through their research and passion for helping others, they combine both their clinical knowledge with conventional wisdom to help navigate their own wellness journeys and felt inspired to share.
