SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Lunch & Learn: ADHD's Hidden Risk: Toxic Relationships and Clinical Interventions 🆕
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nHealth Equity or Cultural Competence Continuing Education Credits (CEs)\nLunch & Learn: ADHD’s Hidden Risk: Toxic Relationships and Clinical Interventions\nPresented by: Kate Mageau\, MA\, LMHC\nWhen: Monday\, July 27th\, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved CEs): 1.5 Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs | $25.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description\nIntimate partner violence (IPV) affects nearly one in three people worldwide\, and it is frequently overlooked in neurodivergent populations. Adults with ADHD are 2.5 times more likely to experience IPV\, yet the specific neurological and psychological mechanisms behind this elevated risk are rarely addressed in clinical training. Equipping clinicians to recognize the signs of IPV in this population is a matter of client safety. \nThis continuing education workshop provides a comprehensive\, evidence-based framework for understanding why ADHD brains are neurologically and psychologically vulnerable to toxic relationship dynamics. Clinicians will explore the specific ADHD traits that create relational vulnerability\, the neuroscience of why clients stay\, and evidence-based treatment approaches particularly well-suited to the ADHD-IPV intersection\, including ACT\, narrative therapy\, and feminist-informed psychoeducation. Attendees will leave equipped to recognize relationship vulnerability patterns\, understand the neurological barriers to leaving\, and support ADHD clients who are at risk of being in a toxic or abusive relationship. \nPresenter’s emphasis on culture and intersectionality: This continuing education workshop centers intersectionality as a core clinical framework. Prevalence data on BIPOC populations are woven throughout\, including racial disparities in ADHD diagnosis. \nWhite individuals are 26% more likely to receive an ADHD diagnosis than Black individuals\, meaning BIPOC ADHDers are disproportionately undiagnosed and unsupported. Black\, American Indian and Alaska Native\, and Hispanic and Latina women all experience disproportionately high rates of IPV\, compounded by medical mistrust\, systemic barriers\, and discrimination when seeking help. \nLGBTQ+ populations are addressed explicitly\, including elevated ADHD prevalence in transgender adults\, IPV rates of 61% in bisexual women and 54% in transgender and non-binary people\, the 44% of LGBTQ+ survivors denied shelter services\, and how abusers may weaponize homophobia and transphobia\, including threats of outing as tools of control. \nThis workshop uses gender-neutral language throughout\, including gender-neutral pronouns\, reflecting the reality that ADHD and intimate partner violence affect people of all genders and that clinicians serve clients across the full spectrum of gender identity. Clinical examples and research cited throughout reflect diverse gender identities\, sexual orientations\, and racial and ethnic backgrounds. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\n\nDiscuss the neurobiological and psychological mechanisms by which ADHD increases vulnerability to intimate partner violence.\nApply this framework to recognize relationship vulnerability patterns in ADHD clients.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the event.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs | $190.00 NOW ONLY $140.00!\nFrom floating goldfish to the truncated relationships of divorce and foster care\, losses start early for us. This continuing education workshop will explore the universal experience of grief – the process that attempts to recover meaning following a loss (Brown\, 2021) – and the myriad ways in which it can go awry. \nThe wounds of childhood compound as we age and inevitably experience further losses\, each echoing the initial pain. In a realistic and lighthearted way\, we will address the reality of impermanence and our lifelong effort to adjust. From treating acute grief in childhood to the manifestation of unresolved loss in our adult clients\, this class will explore the ways therapists can help integrate the hurts of a lifetime. \nThis class is designed for practicing therapists with clients of all ages. The workshop will be conducted in a Zoom format\, and teaching modalities will include a mix of clinical discussion\, lecture with clinical examples & video illustrations\, as well as individual/group case exercises. \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:\n\nHonoring the complexity of human relationships and experiences\, recognize that death is only one manifestation of the loss people endure.\nUnderstand the neuropsychological basis for traumatic loss experiences in childhood persisting throughout the lifespan into adulthood and affecting our clients long after the event occurred.\nIdentify prolonged grief disorder (a.k.a. complicated grief or traumatic grief) as well as symbolic loss\, disenfranchised grief\, and ambiguous loss.\nRecognize how children’s\, tweens’ & teens’ understanding of death and reaction to loss differs from the presentation of adults; as well as interpret behavioral patterns at different developmental stages.\nImplement therapeutic interventions for adults\, including Worden’s TEAR model and Shear’s HEALING milestones.\nEstablish a treatment plan for clients experiencing grief & loss and explore developmentally appropriate therapeutic tools and activities.\nAccess provided references and resources for further study.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
