PEP at the 2022 NASAP Conference

The North American Society of Adlerian Psychology (NASAP) held its 70th annual conference in May 2022 in Alexandria, VA, attended by 250 mental health professionals, coaches, educators, students, parents and others from around the world. 22 PEP staff and parent educators attended the conference and many presented workshops, which gave PEP an opportunity to contribute to the field of learning in Adlerian parenting education. PEP parent educators and staff who presented at the conference include: Paige Trevor, Pascale Brady, Brian Lewis, Dave Drazen, Jen Dryer, Gabriele Nicolet, Patti Cancellier, Lynne Ticknor, Gabriela Cordero, Laura Aguilera, and Mary Douglas.

“…at NASAP, I attended a workshop presented by Brian Lewis and David Drazen. Brian is a physician and David is an engineer. Both are Adlerian fathers. They both experienced the transformative effects of Adlerian psychology in raising their children. They continued their training in the Adlerian organization called PEP (Parent Encouragement Program) out of the Maryland, DC area. Together they commit their time to leading Adlerian parenting classes for Dads. They helped me understand some of the barriers to men taking parenting classes and how they have worked together to get around those hurdles.”
