You are invited to participate in a unique delegation of Mental Health Practitioners engaging in professional
interactions with our Cuban counterparts in the Cuban cities of Havana, Cienfuegos, and Matanzas beginning
on May 16, 2014. Our goal is to create meaningful professional relationships with Cuban Psychiatrists,
Psychologists, and College Professors. These exchanges are held in small intimate settings providing an
opportunity for open and frank discussions. Our delegation will be comprised of Mental Health Professionals,
and their guests, traveling under the auspices of Cal Cuba Arts Project specializing in travel to Cuba since
2001.
In addition to professional exchanges there will be visits to local cultural sites as you step back in time to
a culture reminiscent of the life in the USA in the 1950s. Beyond the traditional tourist corridors we will be
taking a fascinating look at the city of Havana through the eyes of a local architect and historian, enjoying a visit to the home of Ernest Hemingway and a private home studio tour with a Cuban independent artist. In Havana we will visit a monument to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1963. We will complete the day with a colorful evening of authentic Cuban cuisine and vibrant island culture.
Our delegation will travel in modern air-conditioned buses and be provided with a native bilingual guide. A special guest program is also available to those not attending the professional exchange meetings. To help you get a taste of what our activities will be like and a quick glimpse at the culture while in Cuba here’s a 2 minute video: http://vimeo.com/84226141 This is my fifth delegation to Cuba in over 20 years of international travel and one of the most exciting. Cal Cuba Arts Project has extensive background and experience in Cuba and will help facilitate our delegations entry into many unusual and out-‐of-‐the-‐way places not experienced by most travelers. The delegation departs Miami, by air, on May 16, 2014 to Cienfuegos and returns to Miami on May 24, 2014.
One more exciting piece that was just added is that you can receive 14 hours of continuing education credit if you are a Marriage and Family Therapist or a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
