PLEASE JOIN US AT THE YCS INSTITUTE PSYCHOLOGY SCIENTIFIC EXCHANGE
TRIP TO ARGENTINA. (In Cooperation with the MBIDE and CDPA)
An Invitation to the Mental Health community from Dr.
Gerry Costa:
I am writing to invite you to participate in an exciting venture that the YCS Institute is planning in
April 2007, in conjunction with Dr. Marian Wiener-Margulies, of our faculty, and her husband, Dr. Hune Margulies: a scientific
and cultural exchange visit exploring infant mental health with early childhood mental health professionals and university
partners in Argentina! Dr. Hune Margulies, President of Community Development Partners for the Americas, LLC, will serve
as our trip coordinator and guide!
This trip will provide us with an opportunity to visit with colleagues in Argentina,
explore the field of infant mental health in that country, share the current trends and advances from the United States, and
at the same time enjoy the many exciting offerings in the culturally rich and fun-loving cities we visit. The trip will be
sponsored by the YCS Institute, in conjunction with The Martin Buber Institute and with the cooperation of faculty from the
University of Palermo, The University of the Madres of Plaza de Mayo and the University of Buenos Aires. Faculty from psychology
programs at other universities will also participate. Practitioners, researchers and other professionals from different agencies,
including government officials and non-government organizations will participate in our exchange. Among the planned activities
are:
1. Scientific meetings with faculty, professionals and other practitioners. We will invite members of our
delegation to prepare to speak about their work and share insights from the field.
2. Field visits to clinics, hospitals
and mental health centers
3. Culture, meals, tours and entertainment Ð including Tango nights and Gaucho meals!
Of
course, spouses/partners are invited and we will plan alternate activities for those partners who prefer to enjoy the land
and country!
I am including a brief fact sheet about the planned exchange visit! Please contact me (gcosta@YCS.org)
