IPA café is an online live interactive networking opportunity to allow open discussion between IPA members and future members. This program is designed as a virtual meet-up similar to coffee breaks (or cocktail hours), providing mental health professionals a forum to connect with peers for informal conversations around a single topic.Topics are posed as questions, and no preparation is required to attend the event.
PROGRAM SCHEDULE:

A personal invitation from Dr. Daisy Acosta, IPA café Organizing Committee:
Dear Friends,
At IPA we have created this e-space with the thought of "simple talk" about a subject that interests us while we drink our coffee, tea, or even cocktails! There is no need for preparation, it is just a talk utilizing the Zoom video platform. We’ll get to meet each other, share our experiences and learn how others are adapting to this whole new way of living and working.
We encourage you to invite your colleagues and friends to join us and get to know IPA.
