Description


In PSC’s Climate Journey Stream we emphasise that undertaking a personal journey with climate change is central to being a Climate Aware Practitioner.

We call this an Intervision group – a peer to peer group, meeting monthly, designed to help you develop professionally, connect with others, share resources and further possibilities to collaborate.

This program is for anyone supporting people in the climate and ecological crisis space including; psychotherapists, counsellors, facilitators, educators, coaches, consultants, and others accountable for supporting the growth and development of others.

The dates for this group are below (generally on Tuesdays but note the May session is on Monday):

  • Tues 13 Feb, 5 – 6.30pm
  • Tues 12 Mar, 5 – 6.30pm
  • Tues 16 Apr, 5- 6.30pm
  • Mon 13 May, 5 -6.30pm
  • Tue 25 June, 5-6.30pm

Registration cost (per session)

  • General Admission $25.00
  • Pay-it-forward rate $50.00
  • Support PSC rate $60+

We welcome you to book single sessions, but encourage you to commit to the series if possible. 

The cost of PSC training & support is kept as affordable as possible so General Admission is $25, but we encourage those with the capacity to consider the value in these sessions, and in contributing to our work by registering at the pay-it-forward or Support-PSC rate. PSC is a Non-profit NGO, with a small staff and a majority of volunteers. This group is part of our program for growing and developing Climate Aware communities of practice in Australia.
