Dear colleagues,
CALM-LD stands for Children & Adults with Lifelong Multiple & Profound Learning Disabilities.
An international, anthroposophic, multidisciplinary initiative in Therapeutic Education and Social Therapy, it is carried by the Medical Section and the Section for Inclusive Social Development at the Goetheanum bringing together research, practice, and collaboration.
This 2.5 year international advanced training program supports anthroposophic doctors and therapists in deepening their diagnostic, therapeutic, and relational capacities when working with children, adults, and older adults with complex needs.
Those who are working within a therapeutic team and involved in the therapeutic process may also benefit from this training which will enhance their understanding of, and ability to participate in the therapeutic process.
The course integrates an Anthroposophic understanding of human development, therapeutic education, contemplative practice, artistic and movement therapies, and conventional medical insights.
You can find the program’s aims, the curriculum, and general information on the Goetheanum website.
On behalf of the Section for Inclusive Social Development, the Medical Section, the entire organizing team and faculty
Jan Göschel, Karin Michael
