Professional Community Peer Support
At Sevanti Wellness, we believe that in order for our practice to thrive after graduation, we must build a community of our professional peers. These peers provide a professional connection that keeps us engaged socially, exposed to new practice methods, and inspired to meet the highest standards of our profession. The wisdom of our practice requires time and experience to grow. For that, we need a clinical community. The SW Team Practice serves as a community lifeline to those who work in solo practices. We have each other to lean on, run clinical questions by, and learn from. We aim to provide the social glue, clinical setting, technical tools, and practice competency needed for practitioners to grow. As humans, we can only grow together.
To accomplish this, Sevanti Wellness membership offers the following peer support structure:
Bi-weekly Clinical Gatherings – Learn from and share with your peers. Each clinical department – Ayurveda Counseling, Yoga Therapy, and Vedic Astrology- will hold its own virtual meetings every two weeks. Use this time to share challenging cases and clinical methods, present findings from your work, share new practice methods and share resources relevant to each discipline’s unique practice system.
Monthly Informal Gatherings – Join these casual virtual meetings, open to practice members across all three departments, to meet and greet, learn from each other’s practices and specialties, and deepen social connections. These meetings are the perfect space to ask questions and workshop new ideas. Whether concerning your practice, managing clients, workshops, or anything else relevant to the Sevanti sangha, these monthly virtual calls are the backbone of our community of practitioners.
Community and Individual Support – All directors and member practitioners agree to support one another. Gain access to our wide range of clinical and academic professionals who can provide advice and support on a limitless range of issues impacting your practice.
- Practitioners within each practice department form a community support network. Learn from your team.
- Clinical feedback on challenging cases. Improve your case management skills.
- Grow your practice by offering workshops to showcase your expertise.
- Professional development workshops to help you improve business skills and meet your practice goals.
- Position opportunities such as mentoring, teaching, and tutoring
Cross Referrals – Receive and send referrals from practice members across all disciplines at Sevanti Wellness. Highlight your practice specialty topics, and others will refer clients to you.
Mentorship Program
The SW Mentorship Program enables our Team Practitioners to practice new skills in clinical settings with the support and guidance of a more specialized and experienced mentor from within their discipline. In addition to the community peer exchange that comes with general SW membership, our mentors offer one-on-one support at a higher standard of guidance.
Each department (Ayurveda Counseling, Yoga Therapy, and Vedic Astrology) will develop a unique mentorship program based on the needs and practices within their discipline. Check with the Department Director for more details.
