An Introduction to Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

The need for trauma treatment with adolescents has reached nearly unprecedented levels, necessitating an increased demand for effective therapeutic interventions. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment method designed to help children and adolescents recover from traumatic experiences. This introductory training offers mental health professionals a comprehensive overview of this gold-standard therapy model. Anette Birgersson—a certified TF-CBT trainer—brings a wealth of expertise to this training, which extends beyond TF-CBT to include: (1) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), (2) Prolonged Exposure, (3) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and (4) Emotional Regulation Group Therapy. Birgersson is highly regarded for her work with adolescents in the USA and Europe and for her engaging training approach for professionals interested in helping traumatized youths.

Our Safe Haven: Creating Safe Spaces for LGBTQ+ Clients and Providers

We invite mental health providers who are allies for LGBTQ+ clients, as well as LGBT+ practitioners, to participate in our upcoming “Our Safe Haven” session series. These gatherings provide a space for open dialogue and shared insights on how to establish and sustain safe spaces for individuals with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.

During each session, we explore several discussion topics, including but not limited to:

Stress, including the chronic social pressures faced by stigmatized minority groups.
Professional biases, including those faced by both LGBTQ+ clients and practitioners
Resources for specialized knowledge and training
Ethical and professional challenges
Creating and maintaining safe spaces for clients and providers can be daunting, often feeling overwhelming. However, by fostering collaboration and mutual learning, we can create supportive environments for our work and ourselves.

Our Safe Haven: Encountering Cases of Sibling Sexual Abuse

Working with family and other caregivers after sexual abuse has occurred entails navigating significant challenges. Professionals in this field, despite being invaluable, often go without due recognition. Sexual abuse by siblings, commonly seen in our field, underscores the need for comprehensive guidance for facilitating resolution and supporting families in their journey toward reconciliation and recovery—a resource that is often in short supply.

To the dedicated professionals supporting individuals who perpetrate abuse and encounter cases of sibling sexual abuse, we see you. We recognize the challenges you navigate with limited resources.

Join us for an upcoming Our Safe Haven session, where Linda Valenta joins David Prescott from Australia to discuss the challenges inherent in this line of work. Engage in open discussions, offer support, and be supported!

Understanding the Challenges Resulting from Pedophilia Diagnoses

Many experts have suggested that pedophilia and pedophilic disorder are poorly differentiated by the DSM-5-TR. This is partly supported by three independent studies showing that a diagnosis of pedophilia does not predict sexual offending against children. The stakes are high: Without diagnostic clarity, we can fail to intervene appropriately, thereby perpetuating risk to children. We can also cause harm to the wrong people by mislabeling them.

Ensuring the safety of our communities and the protection of children is a shared priority. However, we have a long way to go in ensuring best practices in diagnostic procedures. In this webinar, researcher and evaluator Robin J. Wilson joins David Prescott to discuss the challenges that professionals and clients face with this diagnosis.
