Welcome!
As cochairs of the 2019 joint conference, and on behalf of Southeast Institute, USATAA, and ITAA, we are immensely pleased to invite you to cocreate “Promoting Equality and OKness: Healing the Divisions in Our World,” in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, 31 July–3 August. This theme is true to the founding principles of the Southeast Institute for Group and Family Therapy, which began in 1969 as the Fellowship for Racial and Economic Equality. The healing of interpersonal and societal trauma lies at the heart of both personal and social change. We want you to be here with us as we learn, teach, and celebrate the uniqueness and worth of everyone. Our goals are to apply transactional analysis in our lives and across the four disciplines of transactional analysis to create a world that affirms everyone’s OKness—not in spite of, but because of, our differences. The scientific program and keynotes include notable activists and authors from within and outside of the TA community, echoing our commitment to be inclusive and innovative. The postconference institutes are about making our commitments real in schools, therapy offices, organizations, counseling practices, and communities. We hope you will submit a proposal before 31 January to present what is most alive for you now as a contribution to the evolution that is so needed today. And we look forward to greeting you personally in Raleigh next summer.
Vann Joines and Lucy Freedman, Conference Cochairs
