CEU By Net - FACULTY AND CONSULTANT ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Athena Gavaris, CSW LCSW LSW. This Continuing Education (CEU) website is possible through the technical assistance of various individuals with talent and professional expertise. In particular, we wish to acknowledge one such individual - Athena Gavaris, LCSW. Ms. Gavaris is the Social Work consultant for this website. Originally from Washington, DC as a long time resident and practitioner, she spent a couple of years in Dallas, TX before moving back to the northeast.
Ms. Gavaris graciously gave her time to review our courses from the outset, with an eye to relevance and significance to licensed Social Workers and other professionals - particularly those who provide services under a managed behavioral health care system. Athena was also significantly instrumental in persuading CEU by Net! to eliminate some of the more extraneous and tedious content of our presentations, and for that we all thank her!
Ms. Gavaris' training and experience in the field of social work, and her direct experience working in a managed care environment, are superior. For seven years in Washington, DC and Dallas, Texas, she directed complex clinical programs treating persons with major mental illness and chemical dependency issues, within a managed system of care. The State of Texas' NorthSTAR blended funding Managed Care Plan has been widely discussed throughout the country, and is particularly challenging for clinical administrators. Athena's clinical and management skills were well utilized in that unique and swiftly changing system of care.
Athena obtained her MSW from The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC in May 1994, and her BA from The American University, Washington, DC in December 1989. Adjunctive training experiences beyond graduate school include The Advanced Psychotherapy Training Program, Washington School of Psychiatry, in Washington DC. Athena is fluent in both Greek and English. She continues her clinical Social Work practice in the northeast.
