Many conversations about self-care suggest that if you are stressed, you should turn to activities such as meditation, yoga, or spa days. While these strategies can be helpful, they do not always address the full capacity of workplace stress. A recent Safer Society survey found that workplace stressors are often well outside the control of individuals. Additionally, another survey revealed that many professionals already maintain self-care routines, though their effectiveness can vary. Ultimately, understanding moral injury is a crucial component in moving forward with greater self-efficacy. Join us to help create a professional dialogue around the more nuance aspects of self-care. Co-moderators Seth Wescott and David Prescott offer ideas for approaching self-care as a team effort and as an area for professional development.

Individuals with marginalized sexual orientations and/or sexual identities (MOGI) encounter numerous interrelated challenges, including stigma, discrimination, and violence in social, educational, and professional environments; heightened risk of mental health issues due to social isolation and abuse; barriers to accessing vital health and support services; and rejection from families or communities, often resulting in homelessness and further marginalization. These challenges are compounded by cultural misunderstandings, intersecting forms of exclusion, and gaps in societal and institutional support. Addressing them requires a collective effort to advance inclusion, equity, and community acceptance for people of all MOGI, ensuring their dignity and rights are respected and upheld. In response to these realities, we invite those supporting MOGI-diverse individuals and members of their communities to join us for this series of professional dialogues moderated by Jimmy Widdifield, Jr., and David Prescott. Created to foster meaningful and respectful conversations, these sessions provide a space for professionals to openly explore the challenges faced by individuals with diverse MOGIE. Through shared experiences, expert insights, and practical guidance, attendees will gain strategies to strengthen advocacy, promote inclusive practices, and build effective allyship—helping to foster environments where all people can live authentically and thrive.

Professionals working with youth who have sexually abused frequently observe high rates of ADHD, a condition associated with impulsivity and self-regulation challenges that can increase risk if unaddressed. In this free webinar, Jonny Matthew—a social worker and criminologist with more than 30 years of experience—shares practical strategies for recognizing and responding to these needs, helping practitioners support engagement, reduce risk, and promote long-term wellbeing. The session also explores how ADHD can present both challenges and strengths within the treatment process.

Child-to-parent abuse is often hidden by shame and misunderstood by professionals. In this three-hour training, Ayse Adil and Joseph Lettieri share a solution-focused, trauma-informed approach to help practitioners better assess risk, reduce blame, and build safer, more collaborative family relationships.

Drawing on more than thirteen years of direct practice with over 1,200 families, the session explores how trauma, culture, neurodivergence, and wider systems can shape these dynamics. Participants will leave with practical tools, real-life insights, and a stronger understanding of how small moments of connection and curiosity can support meaningful change.

Living and working in rural areas pose unique challenges for providers working with individuals across the sexual harm continuum. For survivors and those who have caused harm, rural communities have fewer services, resources, and supports available. Both clients and providers alike can experience feelings of isolation. Clinicians, case managers, educators, and doctors also have to navigate unique challenges related to ethical boundaries, including dual relationships and confidentiality in small towns where everyone seems to know each other. Studies have shown that rural healthcare workers experience higher rates of burnout, in part due to the higher number of ethical dilemmas.

Join us for a series of professional dialogues designed for rural providers who work with individuals across the sexual harm continuum. Moderated by Angelique Caley and David Prescott, these discussions provide a supportive space for rural providers to come together, share insights, offer creative ideas, and develop strategies to address the unique needs of their rural communities, their clients, and to maintain their own self-care.

Online communities associated with nihilistic violent extremism (NVE), often referred to as the "Com" community, are increasingly targeting adolescents through manipulation, exploitation, sextortion, and encouragement of self-injurious behaviors. As more clinicians and forensic professionals encounter youth affected by these online networks, understanding these emerging threats is becoming increasingly important. In this training, Dr. Alex Rodrigues explores the structure and tactics of the Com community, emerging risk factors, prevention strategies, and approaches to conducting comprehensive evaluations. The training also examines related NVE movements, including 764, No Lives Matter, mass attacks, white supremacy, and occult-related content.

In this webinar, John Tedeschini and Sandy Jung, authors of Foundations of Investigative Interviewing: A Practitioner’s Guide, translate evidence-based research into practical, accessible guidance for both new and experienced practitioners, covering planning and preparation, core interviewing skills and approaches, characteristics of productive questioning, “golden rules” that support accurate and ethical information gathering, and key factors in conducting virtual interviews. Through discussion of case examples and common interviewing challenges, the training will focus on how to build rapport, manage difficult conversations, and apply structured interviewing techniques to gather high-quality information in situations where there is potential for interpersonal harm.

This training offers an evidence-informed, holistic framework for the assessment, treatment, and supervision of adolescents who have sexually abused. Developed by Tom Leversee, it helps professionals move beyond relapse prevention toward integrated planning for risk reduction, health promotion, and long-term growth. Through practical strategies, case examples, and relevant research, participants will explore trauma-informed, strengths-based, culturally humble approaches to supporting youth.

Join us for a series of professional dialogues designed to address these pressing issues. Moderated by Nikole Nassen and David Prescott, these discussions provide a supportive space for professionals to share insights, develop strategies, and strengthen their ability to navigate the complexities of working with clients with paraphilias and paraphilic disorders. Each session will begin with a focused exploration of a specific topic, evolving naturally into an engaging, attendee-driven conversation shaped by shared experiences and professional insights.
