Participants will learn the practical yet transformative steps of memory reconsolidation to help clients update these beliefs and memories so they no longer trigger high emotional reactivity and finally feel resolved. This training includes real-world clinical examples and therapeutic techniques, and offers and an interactive opportunity to directly apply the memory reconsolidation steps to your practice, so you can walk away with increased confidence for how to help clients achieve lasting transformational change.

From Awareness to Action: The Ethics of Trauma-Informed Care

Trauma is ubiquitous, with far-reaching negative impacts on individuals and communities. Mental health providers need to be competent in bringing a trauma-informed ethical decision-making framework into their clinical practice, agencies, and systems, in order to actively counter the effects of trauma while promoting healing, resilience, and recovery. This foundational training offers clinicians a comprehensive introduction to the core tenets of trauma-informed care (TIC), while integrating the ethical principles guiding our profession, and highlighting cultural awareness and cultural humility as essential cornerstones of our work. Professional challenges like burnout, vicarious trauma, and boundaries will be examined through an ethical, trauma-informed lens, and practical strategies for how to mitigate such challenges will be addressed. In addition to didactic and reflective elements, the TIC principles and ethical codes of conduct will be brought to life through thought-provoking case scenarios - so participants can move from awareness to application to action.

A Port in the Storm: Real Self-Care as a Life Raft for Resilient Practitioners

Attendees will leave with strategies that support resilience, foster professional vitality, and promote long-term professional well-being.

Victim Survivor Thriver: Therapeutic Interventions for Healing the Ripple Effect of
Sexual Violence in Young Adults

Sexual violence is a painful traumatic event that affects young adults at alarming rates. The trauma of sexual violence is like a rock thrown into calm waters – causing vast ripple effects to an individual’s physical, emotional, psychological, and interpersonal life. However, healing and recovery is the norm following trauma exposure, and clinicians wield the knowledge, power, and skills to help victims and survivors move toward healing. In this training, participants will learn the scope of the problem of sexual violence among adolescents, college students, and young adults, and examine the common symptoms, consequences, and aftereffects of these traumatic events. This training will illuminate how recovery and healing from sexual assault trauma is a multi-faceted, multi-stage process that requires a holistic, trauma-informed, and evidence-based framework. Participants will be able to identify, learn, and apply multimodal therapeutic interventions - including an opportunity to practice with a clinical tool co-developed by the presenter - that they can immediately begin integrating into their clinical work.
