COMMUNITY WEST NOW OFFERING A NEW HYBRID MODEL with COMBINED IN-PERSON and TELEHEALTH SOLUTIONS!

We are pleased to announce that we have adapted our Telehealth program and developed a hybrid model that will offer a treatment program that will combine in-person and virtual services.

For the time being, we have decided not to return to our center on Bundy, but instead have tailored an outdoor space to offer programming in a safe and comfortable setting. Given the most recent reporting which suggests that outdoor spaces may provide less risk of infection than indoor options, we feel that this is the safest alternative for our clients. We also feel that in these times of reduced activities and stay-at-home living, outdoor programming offers clients a unique opportunity to spend time outside, in the fresh air, with each other.

We will, of course, observe safety protocols and guidelines designated by local, state and federal authorities and will continue to evaluate and update these measures as needed.

Reach out NOW for more information about our hybrid solutions for care!

Watch "Civilization and the Discontented", a video-conference featuring Christopher Bollas now: https://youtu.be/7eBWG_DgRAo

The conference featured a presentation by Christopher Bollas of his latest work, “Civilization and the Discontented”, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with Christopher Bollas joined by Community West Co-founder and Executive and Clinical Director, John Grienenberger, PhD and Community West Co-founder and Director of Group Services, Sacha Bollas, PsyD.

Bollas contends that we are in the midst of catastrophic change, one that lays bare an evolutionary gap that society appears ill-equipped to navigate. In his breakthrough paper, “Civilization and the Discontented”, Bollas discusses the role of civilization as a potential transformational object—one that that may bridge this evolutionary gap and foster a world that is beyond survivable, but one that is both humane and generative.

“Civilization and the Discontented” will appear in “Psychoanalysis and Covidian Life”, to be published by Phoenix Press on February 1, 2021.
