This inspiring discussion will explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) illuminates pathways to resilience and hope, even in the face of life’s most challenging times. Whether you’re a seasoned IFS practitioner or new to its transformative potential, this event is an opportunity to connect, learn, and grow.
💡 Why This Matters:
This benefit event supports critical initiatives that will expand the impact of IFS, including:
1️⃣ Making IFS research findings freely accessible through open-access publishing.
2️⃣ Conducting a neuroimaging pilot study to explore how IFS affects the brain.
3️⃣ Enhancing the PARTS clinical service, an IFS-based PTSD and complex PTSD program.
4️⃣ Supporting the PARTS peer leader mentorship program, empowering community-based healing.
🎯 Our Goal: Raise $40,000 to advance these transformative projects.
