So it feels appropriate that we once more take this time of the year to assess all that we are grateful for. For us, that starts with all our customers. We fully launched our Continuing Education Center in 2021. It was so gratifying to connect expert presenters with the many professionals in the U.S. and abroad who could benefit from this training and the CEs they could earn. We are extremely thankful that 2022 has been even stronger.
This training begins by examining workbooks in general, including their strengths and limitations, and provides guidelines for their use. It offers 13 pointers for how to use workbooks in treatment (for example, considerations for how and when to use assignments and how to check for comprehension and retention of learned material). The training then looks specifically at the Stages of Accomplishment workbooks.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) due to adverse childhood experiences and other incidents are common in justice-involved settings. The extant literature is filled with calls for attention to this issue. In this webinar, we discuss the prevalence of TBI. We review the existing research related to TBI in correctional settings and highlight systemic issues and possible barriers to effective identification, treatment, and monitoring.
Working with the families of children and teens with problematic behaviors presents unique challenges. In this webinar, Jennifer Ollis Blomqvist and Hillary Bolter discuss the intricate dynamics of working with these families. They offer practical strategies for professionals working with children and teens with problematic behaviors that are rooted in Motivational Interviewing.
The recent explosion of interest in the use of psychedelic drugs to treat PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other conditions has moved faster than the field’s ability to consider and monitor the potential risks involved. Despite the good intentions of many, some professionals have used their authority and the influence of these drugs to abuse, control, manipulate, and steal from clients. While many advocates claim to have implemented safeguards, these have not often been nearly sufficient enough to prevent ongoing harm. Lily Kay Ross and Dave Nickles have done more than anyone to bring these harms into public awareness. This webinar will focus on what they’ve learned and what we can do to prevent further abuse.
It is essential that clinicians are skilled in group facilitation principles and techniques, especially since the treatment of individuals who commit sexual abuse often revolves around group-based approaches. In this webinar, Jerry Jennings and Steven Sawyer discuss the essential qualities of effective treatment groups and group facilitators. They also discuss research, methods, and techniques relevant to group therapy and client motivation. They then answer your questions about how to improve your clinical practice by facilitating cohesive and dynamic groups.
Promoting diversity and inclusion has become a top priority in many areas of the criminal justice system. However, microaggressions, which are subtle, covert forms of discrimination, may influence interactions with clients and co-workers, and contribute to detrimental impacts within these environments. Research shows that when microaggressions are directly addressed, the performance, cohesion, and outcomes of workplace teams are enhanced. Therefore, during this interactive webinar interview, participants will learn practical strategies to identify microaggressions and build techniques to improve the culture of clinical settings and the workplace.
ncels (involuntarily celibate men) have been the source of considerable media attention due to a small number of high-profile attacks. Despite the first taking place in 2014, it is only recently that researchers have become interested in this group. Much of this scholarly work has involved analyses of incel forums with little attention paid to incels themselves. Dr. Brandon Sparks is one of the few researchers who has studied incels at an individual level. During this webinar conversation, he will describe who incels are and provide background information about the incel subculture and its impact on society
