SUMMARY:2026 New England Balint Leadership Training Intensive
LOCATION:The Babson Executive Conference Center, 1 Snyder Drive, Babson Park, MA, 02457
DESCRIPTION:2026 New England Balint Leadership Training Intensive\n\n11/12/26 12:00 PM EST\n - 11/15/26 12:00 PM EST\Description:\n                                                         \n\nThe four-day Intensive course is designed to teach Balint group leadership technique primarily through experiential groups, supplemented by topic-focused small discussion groups and faculty panel discussions. Attendees will have ample time to present cases, practice leading a Balint group, and engage informally with other participants. \n\nThe New England Leadership Intensive course is appropriate for clinicians new to the Balint Group method as well as experienced Balint Group leaders. The course is well-suited to those who are currently leading, expect to lead in the future, or are seeking a better understanding of Balint groups.  The curriculum is appropriate for physicians (primary care, psychiatry, other specialists), psychologists, social workers, other mental health care providers, veterinarians, and pastoral care providers.\n\nCourse Details\n\nBecause group cohesiveness affects participants’ experience of the course, registrants are required to commit to attending all sessions and to attending each session in its entirety. Please do not plan to arrive late, leave early or miss sessions.\n\nThe Balint Leadership Intensive is a training course and is not intended as therapy. Nevertheless, Balint Group work can sometimes stir up strong feelings. Prospective registrants who are experiencing a particularly vulnerable period in their lives may want to consider participating in this training at a later date.\nCourse Schedule\n\nThe conference will be held at the Babson Executive Conference Center at Babson College, 20 minutes from downtown Boston and Logan International Airport. Residing at the conference center is strongly recommended, even for local attendees, so that you may benefit from the retreat-like nature of the course. The ABS has negotiated a conference rate of $239 per night which includes full breakfast and access to the state of the art Len Green Recreation and Athletics Complex (LGRAC) on campus. In addition, there are scenic walking trails and an indoor skating rink on the Babson campus. In reserving your room with the following link, you're getting the best possible rate and helping us fulfill our contractual obligation with the hotel.\nCancellation Policy\n\nRegistrants wishing to cancel their registration must do so in writing by the cancellation deadline of September 15, 2026. For cancellations received by the cancellation date, $100 of the registration fee will be withheld for administrative fees and the refund will occur within 30 days of acknowledgment of cancellation. For cancellations received after the deadline, no refunds will be available. \n\nABS Grievance Policy\nAny concerns should be brought to the attention of Eran Metzger, metzger@hsl.harvard.edu.\n\nABS Grievance Policy\n\n \n\Location:\nThe Babson Executive Conference Center\n1 Snyder Drive\nBabson Park, MA 02457
