With Globalization We Are One Connected System

 

In response to evolving transitional changes of our time, Dr. Pir writes “In the 21st Century we live in a globalized world. This simply means people’s lives including economic, social, and families are impacted by not only local but global changes.”

One way to handle these transformational changes and challenges is to develop interactive professional relationships with other organizations on a local, national and international level.

 

IMCES makes every effort to adjust and transform our views and abilities to meet the new and emerging global needs of our citizens and clients. Dr. Pir has developed and presented research studies about different issues as it relates to human challenges and effective methods of interventions at international professional conferences. Also, she brings back information from these international conferences about effective solutions to our organization to provide further training and adjustments for the interest of worldview and clients emerging and evolving needs.
