With Carmen Jimenez-Pride and Dick Schwartz
An invitation from Dick Schwartz…
I’m thrilled to invite you to join our global community of advanced IFS learners in the Continuity Program. This offer is available to those who’ve completed an IFS Level 1 Training or Online Circle.
For over five years, we’ve developed programs focused on IFS applications of current clinical topics. We’ve witnessed a phenomenal community of thousands develop and connect from around the world. I’m always excited to see how our IFS trainers and thought leaders are on the front lines of innovation with the model.
A highlight for me, are my monthly connections with the IFS Continuity community. During my live events, we provide opportunities for members to present case consultations, as well as selective review of client demonstration videos.
You now have two options for joining our Continuity Program.
1. You can purchase an Annual Membership which includes 12 months of programming, a total of three courses.
2. If you’re not ready to commit for an entire year, you can now make an Individual Purchase of just one course.
Enrollment is now open until May 31th.
I look forward to you joining us!

Here’s what we’ll cover in the next program -
IFS with Children and Adolescents with Carmen Jimenez-Pride (Summer, May-August 2024)
While navigating the world children are exposed to experiences such as abuse, neglect, racial trauma, mass shootings, health pandemics, and natural disasters. Play is a child’s natural language, play therapy can be utilized to create a space for the child to have the ability to express their feelings and resolve conflicts through creative therapeutic interventions, and expressive arts with the foundation of the therapeutic powers of play.
Internal Family Systems therapy is an innovative and transformative model that emphasizes the natural multiplicity of the mind, and looking at the system in parts, with the assumption that there are no bad parts and parts are in roles to protect hurt and traumatized parts.
Children often cannot verbally tell their trauma stories or express their thoughts and feelings. With the combination of Internal Family Systems and Play Therapy children will now have the opportunity to learn the various parts that make them who they are, express the feelings and beliefs of their parts, gain knowledge that others have parts as well in a creative way.
Carmen will teach us the therapeutic powers of play; facilitate communication, foster emotional wellness, enhance social relationships, and increase personal strengths utilizing the steps of the Internal Family Systems.
Please note, all live events are recorded and will be added to the IFS Learning Hub within two days.
