The Californer/10278887

PHILADELPHIA - Californer -- Exploring New Horizons of Diversity & Inclusion:

The Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis embarked on a strategic plan four years ago amidst financial turmoil, focusing on reaffirming its educational, clinical, and social mission while stabilizing financially. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic presented unforeseen challenges, prompting adaptive responses that led to transformative outcomes. These responses included expanding online education, launching new programs like Organizational Dynamics, Leadership, and Consulting, and prioritizing telehealth for underserved communities.

Addressing systemic racism and promoting diversity and inclusion became central, culminating in initiatives like the Advisory Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and participation in the Holmes Commission on Racial Equality in Psychoanalysis. Strengthening the Board, faculty, and staff played a pivotal role in our previous strategic plan.
