The Lyceum is an awards & education luncheon that each year honors a local leader in mental health and aspiring intern-trainee therapists with scholarships and awards. The event also features a keynote address from an innovative voice in the field of mental health and offers continuing education credits for professionals - all the while acting as a fundraising and awareness effort for Community Counseling Center (CCC).

Lyceum showcases the professional education and training programs afforded to master's and doctoral level pre-licensed clinicians and provided by a cadre of licensed clinical supervisors and trainers. Education remains key to the agency's mission and Lyceum is the perfect venue to to highlight this program area while tapping into the deeper roots and network of CCC.

CCC's 8th Annual Lyceum is set to take place on Saturday, October 14h, 2023 at the Dallidet Adobe Gardens in San Luis Obispo from 11:30am-2:00pm.

Guests will be treated to BBQ from the SLO Rotary Club in addition to craft (non-alcoholic) beverages, dessert, silent auction, raffle, and more!

The keynote address will be provided by Dr. Joseph Holifield on the topic: Community Engagement: San Luis Obispo County's Response to School Violence Prevention. He will review the key outcomes of the B-HARP Innovation Grant and the goals of the San Luis Obispo-School Threat Assessment Management Project (SLO-STAMP). The presentation will be a full circle experience as Dr. Holifield delivered the inaugural keynote address at the 2013 LYCEUM.
