MAIN WORKSHOPS - CFAR HAS PERFORMED LITERATURE REVIEWS IN PSYCHOLOGY, COGNITIVE SCIENCE, AND RELATED FIELDS IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A RANGE OF MENTAL TECHNIQUES DESIGNED TO HELP IMPROVE CLARITY OF THINKING AND DECISION-MAKING, AND INCREASE INTERNAL ALIGNMENT TOWARDS GOALS. OUR WORKSHOPS ARE 4-DAY IMMERSIVE PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO TEACH PARTICIPANTS THESE TECHNIQUES IN A PRACTICAL WAY. THE WORKSHOP CONSISTS MOSTLY OF LECTURES AND EXERCISES, AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTICIPANTS TO TRAIN EACH OTHER ON THE TECHNIQUES.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$603.8KProgram 3 [2020]

OUR TRAINING PRIMARILY CONSISTS OF WEEKEND WORKSHOPS FOR ALUMNI VOLUNTEERS TO ATTEND SO THEY CAN DEVELOP THE SKILL SET TO BE MENTORS OR INSTRUCTORS FOR OUR WORKSHOPS. TRAINING SOMETIMES ALSO INCLUDES CFAR STAFF MEMBERS ATTENDING CONFERENCES AND OTHER EVENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
