You should also be aware that therapists and licensed psychologists often use different terminology when describing their own roles and responsibilities as professionals. For example, I've found that many health care professionals use "therapist" without realizing it because they are not trained as psychologists; therefore, they use language such as "therapist" instead of "psychologist," "psychologist" instead of "psychotherapist," etc.. This confusion can be very confusing if it turns out...

Belonging and Civic Muscle - A Vital Condition, An Extension Opportunity

Gina ·
When viewing the vital conditions framework, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the categories and get lost in thinking about your role in changing any one, or many of the conditions in the community. But, if we look at the conditions as an opportunity to speak to the work that we do as a system, it becomes something that feels right in the work that we do day in and day out, and maybe is the least "measured" in the people counting, and knowledge, attitudes and beliefs surveys many of us do...
