CONSULTATION SERVICES
Clinical Supervision and Training
We have extensive experience in supervising and
training other professionals. GKSW/CGA provides individual and group
supervision, and we design and implement a variety of professional training
programs.
Consultation to Educational Institutions
We recognize the key role that social,
emotional, and behavioral factors play in the educational experience. A
wide array of consultation services to schools (Pre-School through
College) is available, including In-Service training of school personnel,
school-community liaison services, ongoing consultations to administrators
(including Principals/Heads of Schools), and assistance with planning and
implementing social/emotional curricula .(for

Pastoral Resource Network (PRN) and Bereavement Care
With a professionally accredited pastoral counselor on
staff, we are able to offer a range of consultation services including
individual and family counseling to clergy and their families, sermons and
workshops, and an on-going support group for clergy.
Several of our Clinical Associates with specialized
training in grief, loss, and transition offer counseling and consultation
to adolescents, adults, and senior adults on coping creatively and
realistically with life changes and challenges.
Human Resource and Organizational Development
GKSW/CGA’s skills in Human Resource Management and
Organizational Development consulting have been utilized in a variety of
settings, proprietary as well as not-for-profit. We develop and implement
individualized programs to meet the specific needs of the contracting
group. Examples include organizational analysis, supervisory and
management training, team building, and stress management.
Foster Care Training
We offer in-depth trainings to foster care
agencies. These trainings are geared toward helping dedicated foster
parents and foster care social workers in their challenging jobs of caring
for foster children. Examples of trainings include “Understanding Why
Foster Children Misbehave,” “Separation and Loss,” and “Mental Health
Disorders in Children and Adolescents.” In addition, trainings can be
tailored to address the specific needs of the requesting organization.
Mediation
Mediation, a cost effective alternative to
litigation, is a cooperative process in which disputing individuals
create their own mutually acceptable settlement. The mediator provides
a structure which enables all participants to identify and explore a
variety of options and negotiate effectively with each other. GKSW/Crystal
Group Associates provides mediation services for family matters
(separation/divorce, custody and co-parenting, property disputes and
financial settlements, and stepparent/blended families) and for
workplace (intra- and inter-organizational) disputes.
