Welcome to the Yvonne Agazarian Training and Resource Center.

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 namely supporting members in taking systems-centered theory and methods across the boundary to the wider community.

Our goal is to develop, resource and connect SCTRI members through providing a wide-ranging program of events. Offering primarily virtual events that will be of interest to those who work in clinical, organizational, educational/academic and clinical pastoral education contexts. If none of these apply, and you are a member, then curiosity is a good criterion for joining any of our events! These events are free and a benefit of your membership.

We invite you to browse our program of events at the bottom of this page.

The Center houses Yvonne’s library and archives, has internet and provides rooms for SCTRI members to run workshops, seminars, meetings, trainings, see clients, write and do research. The SCT Center is also available for hosting work groups, training groups, and workshops virtually.
