FOR NON-VIOLENT COMMUNICATION The University of Houston’s Graduate School of Social Work (GSSW) is sponsoring two days of workshops to encourage communication skills through a process called Nonviolent Communication. Featured speaker Christine Dove will teach skills for effective communication for social workers and other professionals on Friday, May 20, in a workshop titled “Being The Change.” Dove will present a second workshop titled “Being Family” for parents and child-care providers on Saturday, May 21. Dove’s 39-year career in mental health and social work has
led her to her current position as director of the Institute for
Conscious Connection where she offers workshops, practice groups
and psychotherapy for individuals or couples. “The GSSW’s whole mission is about peace and social justice,” said Amy Blakeney with the school’s Office of Continuing Education. “This is a perfect opportunity to merge continuing education with the peace and social justice movement.” Cost for each workshop is $49 for non-students and $24.50 for students registering before May 9. After May 9, the price is an additional $10. For information, call 713-743-8143 or visit www.uh.edu/continuingeducation.
