Are you ready for something really different?
As a provider of mental health treatment, it is important to stay informed about the latest advances in treatment. Beyond being a requirement of most licensure boards, research shows that improving practitioner competence decreases burnout and increases job satisfaction!
One of the hottest topics is the integration of neuroscience into mental health treatment. You heard this, and you want to learn more – but it feels daunting and overwhelming in the face of all you have to deal with every day. The prospect just does not sound pleasant.
So, why not make it easier?
Introducing Cascadia’s brain science certificate series!
In keeping with not only teaching to the brain in presentation style, but also in the ability to take in and retain, Cascadia now offers this in a series of three-hour sessions over a few weeks! The benefits are many!
First, the course is separated into four discrete and highly useful sessions:
Week One: Pertinent Therapeutic Neuroscience
Week Two: Applications in Therapeutic Neuroscience
Week Three: Neuroscience-informed Cognitive Approaches
Week Four: Neuroscience-informed Somatic Approaches.
Besides three-hour time blocks being easier to manage than an entire day, you will also have lots of time to think about, try things, and ask questions in between sessions, as skill support inquiries are encouraged!
None of us wants to spend our time learning only to come away tired and feeling that we could not retain what we learned. In this format, you will have the chance to really sink your teeth into the material and build a sense of competence!
All this will take place in the comfort of your own home!
If you have wanted to take your practice to the next level by incorporating cutting-edge neuroscience, then this is the course for you! Whether you aren’t quite sure what the amygdala really is or you are a PhD in Neuropsychology – this practical, application-based course will appropriately challenge and inspire you!
Workshop Objectives:
- Learn Pertinent Brain Systems & Structures and Describe Their Practical Application to Clinical Work
- Identify & Examine the Neurological Processes Underlying Common Mental Health Disorders, Such as Anxiety, Depression, Personality Disorders & Trauma.
- Relate Specific Dysfunctional Behavioral Presentations to Associated Brain Functions to Improve Diagnosis & Pinpoint Effective Treatment Modalities
- Apply the Neuroscience-informed Lens to Current Cognitive-based (ACT, CBT, IFS), Mindfulness-based (DBT, MBT), & Somatic-based (EFT, Expressive Therapies) Theories You Already Know Increasing Insights to Improve Treatment Trajectory & Outcomes
- Evaluate the differences between amygdala-based and cortex-based symptoms
- Apply proven strategies for calming and training the amygdala.
- Use Practical Neuroscience-informed Techniques, such as Threat Analysis, to Improve Client Understanding, Compliance, and Outcomes
- Convey Difficult Science Terms & Concepts in an Understandable, Client-friendly Manner
