Built to Last is a time for Richmont’s future interns to learn and connect before beginning their internship year. Students from our Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Online campuses will come together for an overnight retreat to prepare and refresh before beginning their counseling internship in May.  There will be time of didactic learning, breakout and dyad discussion, personal reflection, and free time.

Start/End Time:
1:00pm on Friday, April 11th until 1:30pm on Saturday, April 12, 2025

Location of Retreat:
Eagle Ranch
5500 Union Church Road, Flowery Branch, Georgia 30542

Location of Friday Night Lodging:
The Inn at Chateau Élan, Flowery Branch, Georgia, approximately 1-2 miles from Eagle Ranch
(Hotel costs are covered)

Speaker:
Dr. Jon Ebert (Learn more about Dr. Ebert here)

Cost:
No Additional Cost for Attendance

(The retreat cost has been partially covered by a $100 Student Retreat fee. An external grant has covered the remaining costs for the event in order to make it accessible to all students.)

The retreat will be titled: Built to Last: Secure in Faith, Attachment, Regulation, and Competence (ARC) during internship.  Dr. Ebert will talk with upcoming interns about the ARC Model and how to apply the concepts of Attachment, Regulation, and Competency in a personal, self-reflective manner as they head into their first year as counseling interns. 

Richmont desires for future interns to come together with your peers, colleagues, and professors for connection and community, obtain sound clinical training, and to have some time for reflection and self-care.
