The Day's Flow: May 8, 2026
A space for professional connection, clinical inquiry, and shared growth.
12:00 PM | Collegial Connection Arrive early to settle in, grab a coffee or tea, and connect with peers before we begin our deep dive.
1:00 PM | The Neurobiology of Isolation & Social Infrastructure Focus: Integrating neurobiology with social systems, we will examine how systemic disconnection triggers a physiological threat response and develop concrete clinical interventions to move community from a 'goal' to a core treatment modality.
2:00 PM | Restorative Break A brief pause to process insights and refresh.
2:15 PM | Clinical Assessment & The Social Audit Toolkit Focus: Transform relational health assessments by applying the NASEM-backed SOCIAL Framework to your practice, enabling you to build evidence-based, tiered social prescriptions directly from your client’s unique community landscape.
3:15 PM | Reflective Pause A moment of quiet integration before our final session.
3:30 PM | Applied Clinical Integration & Large Group Debrief Focus: Refine your clinical application of the 'Community as Intervention' model through small-group case work, leaving with a clear, ethical plan for addressing social determinants of health within your specific scope of practice.
4:30 PM — 5:00 PM | Open Space for Collegial Connection The formal session concludes, but the space remains open. We invite you to linger, process the afternoon’s insights, and continue the conversation with colleagues before heading out.

Networking
Professional Connection & Peer Networking
Don’t learn in isolation. We’ve intentionally built-in dedicated time before the session and during extended breaks for you to step away from the screen and back into the room. Connect with fellow Vermont practitioners, share resources, and build the professional relationships that sustain a long-term career in mental health.

Community
Expanding the Scope of Care
Isolation is the enemy of recovery—for both the client and the clinician. Learn actionable ways to help your clients engage with their local environments while simultaneously developing your own "community of colleagues."
