  • Using the Becoming Who I Want to Be Workbooks in Clinical Practice with Young Men and Young Women

    The Becoming Who I Want to Be workbooks for young men and women were designed for professionals working with youths with problematic behaviors toward others. Designed to be approachable and interactive, the workbooks engage clients whose adverse childhood experiences and problem behaviors have caused them to fall behind academically, socially, and emotionally. Based on the Good Lives Model (GLM), the workbook translates complex theory into practical strategies for treatment settings.

    This training shows participants how to effectively integrate the workbooks into their therapeutic practice. Presenter and author David Prescott begins the training by reviewing the core principles of the GLM. He then offers ideas for how clinicians and counselors can use each section. Central to this training is its focus on dovetailing the GLM and these workbooks with Motivational Interviewing skills and the principles of Trauma-Informed Care, ensuring that intervention is not only effective but also client-centered and deeply supportive.

  • Improving Solution-Focused Techniques in Suicide Prevention: A Dialogue with Emma Burns and John Henden

    Skills for the effective prevention of suicide are critical for practitioners of all backgrounds and settings. Too often, professionals focus heavily on assessment and risk management, leaving clients feeling unheard or disconnected from the process. Solution-focused therapy (SFT) offers an alternative—one that centers on a client's strengths, potential, and capacity for change rather than on risk alone.

    In this webinar discussion, author Emma Burns and psychotherapist John Henden share their insights from their work using SFT with individuals experiencing suicidality. This conversation underscores the value of staying client-centered and strengths-based, even in complex and high-risk situations. It’s an opportunity to consider how subtle shifts in approach can open channels for change and healing.

  • Psychosocial Maturity and Neurodevelopment in Adolescents with Harmful Sexual Behaviors

    Neuropsychology and brain research have identified developmental changes from ages 10 to 25 related to social judgment and reasoning. These changes are associated with the steep increase in delinquent behaviors, accidents, and sexually harmful behaviors during adolescence. Increased size, strength, and sexual maturity are complemented by an increase in the drive and reward centers of the brain and decreased supervision during adolescence. This can involve slower development in social judgment and reasoning. Youths with delays in social judgment are at greater risk for harmful actions, including sexual behaviors.

    This training integrates relevant research on brain development, maturity, and adolescent behavior. It demonstrates that psychosocial immaturity during this stage is a significant risk factor for general delinquency and harmful sexual behaviors. Participants leave with strategies for assessing and fostering healthy development in youths.

  • Our Safe Haven: Promoting Healthy Intimate Relationships in Clinical Practice

    Developing and maintaining healthy relationships is a central aspect of treatment for sexual offending. Relationships shape how individuals see themselves, connect with others, and find meaning and accountability in their lives. Yet for many people who have caused harm, the path toward genuine intimacy, trust, and empathy can be filled with obstacles. Professionals working in this field face unique challenges in helping clients develop their capacity for closeness while addressing fears, misunderstandings, and past traumas that affect connection. This work invites both professionals and clients to rethink what healthy relationships can look like in all their diversity and complexity.

    Building on these ideas, we invite you to join us for this series of professional dialogues moderated by Jay Herman, LCSW, and David Prescott, LICSW. These sessions provide a space to discuss and explore the complexities of relationships through historical and structural lenses, including what professionals and clients can learn from both monogamy and non-monogamy.

  • Working with Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse: Intersectional Approaches to Healing

    Few experiences fill a person with a greater sense of shame, stigma, and misunderstanding than sexual abuse. Men who have been harmed sexually can become marginalized and isolated, with limited resources available to them or those who support them. This training explores the impact of this harm on men through an intersectional lens, exploring how their unique identities, circumstances, and society's views can either support their recovery or compound their trauma. This training helps participants refine their understanding of the after-effects of abuse on males, which too often persist long after the abuse occurred.
