SPECIAL EVENT: Open Dialogue with Mia Kurtti

March 3, 2017

Thursday, March 16, 7pm to 9pmOpen Dialogue event 2017

@ Holyoke Community College, Kittredge Center

303 Homestead Avenue, Holyoke

We are pleased to share this opportunity to join as a community to learn more about Open Dialogue! We realize it’s shorter-than-usual notice, but hope that you’ll be able to join us.

Open Dialogue offers an alternative to supporting people experiencing extreme emotional distress or ‘crisis’. It emphasizes dialogue directly with the person in distress along with others in their own social network, avoidance of talking about someone without them present, and a much
broader way of making meaning of what is at the root of the struggle.

Open Dialogue is getting some of the best documented success rates in the world, including outcomes such as marked reductions in the use of psychotropic drugs, hospitalizations, and long term disability.

miaMia is a psychotherapist and psychiatric nurse. She works in the acute crisis clinic in Keropudas Hospital in the western Lapland region of Finland. Extensively trained in Open Dialogue, Mia has been a member of the team that developed Open Dialogue since 2002. She was also featured in Daniel Mackler’s 2014 film ‘Open Dialogue’, now available on Youtube.
