Communication between partners in the mountains can make the difference between an outing being memorable for all the right or all the wrong reasons. Join us as we welcome Ben White, LCSW, and Ash Langholz, LPCC, to demystify some of the nebulous workings of the human mind and the nuances of communication between partners in the mountains. Seasoned backcountry travelers, skilled clinicians, and engaging speakers, Ben and Ash will blend didactic and interactive approaches in this 2-hour presentation, where they will draw from their extensive experience as therapists and personal experiences in the backcountry to strengthen your communication toolkit to become better partners, helping you move faster, go farther, and come home safely.
