Welcome to the Yvonne Agazarian Training and Resource Center.
We invite you to learn about our sponsored events below and look for our video commemorating the work of Yvonne Agazarian, Seeing the System, Not Just People, on the right of this page. If you are looking for a brief introduction to SCT, see Tori Olds' videos.
The SCT Center sponsors several events on Zoom, free for SCTRI members. Advance registration is required for each group. Register through the email invitation or through the contact details below.
If you are not a member and would like to attend, you can join SCTRI. Learn more about SCTRI membership and join.
The SCT Center is a brick-and-mortar training and resource center as well as the “virtual” arm of SCTRI. The SCT Center reflects the mission and values of the organization, taking systems-centered theory and methods across the boundary to the wider community.
The Center offers a spacious high-quality environment, housing Yvonne’s library and archives, has internet and audio-visual equipment, and provides rooms for members to run workshops, seminars, meetings, trainings, see clients, write and do research. The SCT Center is also available for virtual work groups, zoom training groups, individual and group consultation, and workshops.
The Center is located at 2401 Pennsylvania Ave., Unit 1A4, Philadelphia, PA 19130.
Visits are by appointment only (for now). Contact Taylor Malone to arrange a visit.
