DESCRIPTION:Meets Professional Roles & Boundaries\nCE requirements!\nTherapeutic Boundaries: The Ethics of Creating Clarity\, Safety\, and Trust in Clinical Work\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Wednesday\, August 19th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 12:00 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): 3 CEs Meets Criteria for Professional Roles and Boundaries CEs or Law & Ethics CEs | $99.00\nClear\, ethical boundaries are essential for fostering safety\, trust\, and effective therapeutic relationships. This continuing education workshop introduces psychotherapists to the principles of establishing and maintaining professional boundaries while navigating complex clinical scenarios. \nParticipants will explore how boundary clarity supports client well-being\, enhances trust\, and prevents ethical dilemmas\, while examining the subtle ways boundaries can be challenged or blurred in practice. \nThrough case examples\, discussion\, and reflective exercises\, attendees will learn practical strategies for communicating\, negotiating\, and maintaining boundaries with clients. Therapists will leave with tools to create a safe and ethical therapeutic environment\, strengthen professional integrity\, and foster collaborative\, trust-based client relationships. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nDevelop an understanding of the ethical principles and importance of maintaining clear therapeutic boundaries.\nLearn strategies for establishing\, communicating\, and maintaining boundaries in clinical practice.\nIdentify ways to navigate boundary challenges to ensure safety\, trust\, and ethical integrity in therapy.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Un-Masking Neurodivergence: Non-Pathologizing Tools for Engaging Neurodivergent Populations
DESCRIPTION:Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs\nUn-Masking Neurodivergence: Non-Pathologizing Tools for Engaging Neurodivergent Populations\nPresented by: Hannah Smith\, MA\, LMHC\, CGP\nWhen: Thursday\, August 20th\, 2026 | 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM\n\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): 3 CEs (Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs | $99.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nIf you are in the mental health field and have not had a neurodivergent (ND) client\, you will. \nThis can be daunting to clinicians working within the medical model for several reasons. One may not know if a client is neurodivergent (ND). As ND people often do not see themselves as needing to be “fixed\,” they may not feel certain treatment approaches and/or vocabulary apply to them – and yet they are in our offices seeking help. Many self-diagnose\, and there are as many presentations of neurodivergence as there are neurodivergent people. How do we conceptualize working with this population? \nOne approach is to de-center the neurotypical classification of behavior as the primary issue and focus treatment instead on the identification and remediation of associated trauma. Sadly\, trauma and Neurodivergence often go together\, and one of the primary results of this is masking. \nMasking is the compensatory strategy many ND people develop to manage social expectations. This skill initially allows them to “fit in” better. Over the long term\, though\, the masking takes a huge toll and most often results in extreme mental and emotional fatigue\, chronic and extreme emotional dysregulation\, exacerbated learning difficulties\, and frightening and isolating trauma responses. \nThis session will introduce a non-pathologizing tool that streamlines the conceptualization of neurodivergence and masking by examining ten common areas in which neurodivergent people demonstrate significant differences compared to their neurotypical counterparts. A qualitative and quantitative view of masking will emerge by mapping each unique individual’s experience and comparing it to their social experience. Clients will experience a reduction in shame\, an ability to communicate their experience better\, and a method by which providers can better help them discern their needs in any situation. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nList the ten areas of Neurodivergence in non-pathologizing terms\nCreate a conceptualization of an individual’s neurodivergence with the Wheel of Neurodivergence\nIdentify areas and degrees of masking and create treatment plans to address them\, determining approaches of accommodation versus adaptation\nApply new learning to case studies and real-time practice\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
