This month, LinkedUp, Agudah’s recently launched program that builds community through business, held its first-ever event, a women’s Networking Nite for therapists.
Chaired by Adina Krausz LCSW and Shoshana Ort LCSW, and generously hosted at the home of Ruth (Hyman) Levine, the group of community therapists was treated to a presentation by the renowned psychiatrist and expert on ADHD, Dr. Bill Dodson, LF-APA. Throughout his presentation, attendees eagerly took notes and then followed up with questions.
“Dr. Dodson’s presentation was so valuable,” says co-host Penina Zussman. “Since his presentation, I’ve already read a few of his articles on my own.”
The discussion following Dr. Dodson’s presentation was lively and involved, as participants shared what had originally brought them into the mental health field and the main challenges they face. They also talked about how to build a private practice and some of the details involved in running a business. Initially intended to run for a little over an hour, the event continued for a full two hours as the therapists talked and connected.
Networking Nite was just the beginning. As the therapists left, they were eager to follow up with each other about specific points, confirming that this was a much-needed and appreciated event.
As LinkedUp grows, we plan to host more industry-specific events where Jewish businesses in Colorado can connect and network. To be a part of the network, sign up here.
