SUMMARY:Body Justice: Addressing Sizeism and Fear of Fat
DESCRIPTION:Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs!\nBody Justice: Addressing Sizeism and Fear of Fat\nPresented by: Amber Rice\, LMFT\, MA\nWhen: Wednesday\, May 13\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 CEs – counts toward Health Equity requirements and Cultural Competence requirements| $199.00\nTherapists are becoming increasingly aware of the harm that has been/is being done to clients when healthcare settings (including counseling practices) focus on weight and weight loss as a primary goal.  Most therapists\, however\, have not been trained in how to have conversations with their clients about body shame\, weight stigma\, healthism\, diet culture\, and sizeism. How\, then\, do therapists help clients heal body shame in a weight-obsessed world when our culture is obsessed with weight being an indicator of health?   This course introduces therapists to practical resources\, knowledge\, empowering interventions\, and the language needed to help challenge weight stigma\, connect weight stigma and negative health outcomes\, and support clients toward weight-neutral and compassionate self-care. \nMany providers have increased their awareness of the need to adjust their practice lens and use a more weight-inclusive\, fat-positive approach to addressing food and body issues. Mental health clinicians have become increasingly aware of the expanding body of research that says intentional weight loss and dieting just don’t work\, and find themselves no longer ethically comfortable participating in diet culture. Therapists understand that supporting clients in weight loss or lifestyle changes (even for health reasons) is frequently emotionally and metabolically damaging\, is not trauma-informed\, often results in eating disorders and poor health outcomes\, and is rooted in weight bias and the body hierarchy.  Ethical\, culturally competent mental health practitioners want to know how to help their clients have a more peaceful relationship with food and their bodies.  However\, even the best-intentioned clinician finds that the cultural climate of weight stigma is so prevalent in both medical and mental health fields that they don’t even know where to begin. \nThis course will help therapists have conversations about bodies\, weight\, and health without contributing to the body shaming and size bias that is commonplace in healthcare settings. Amber will introduce participants to knowledge that will help them ethically and compassionately address the impacts of weight stigma with their clients.  Workshop attendees will learn ways to help their clients reduce body shame\, improve their relationship with food\, and invite more satisfaction and joy in their lives in a culturally competent way so they can be more resilient and confident in their own skin. \nObjectives:\n\nDiscuss the use of “fat” as a reclaimed term\, ask for the avoidance of the “O” words (obese\, overweight)\, the use of “numbers” to describe weight\, and other guidelines to avoid microaggressions that may take place during the workshop.\nPresent research studies and lived experiences that provide evidence for the need to practice with a weight-inclusive approach.\nTeach the core values and principles of Health at Every Size and Body Trust approaches.\nProvide an overview of the HAES and Body Trust approaches\, along with practical clinical interventions for clients seeking a more peaceful relationship with food and their bodies.\nDiscuss with participants the ethical considerations and dilemmas present in the current medical and mental health models that support weight loss for health purposes.\nOffer a pathway toward becoming more culturally competent\, with an adjusted lens that actively seeks to eliminate implicit and explicit bias in assessment\, treatment\, and orientation.\nList action steps that participants can employ to create a more weight-neutral practice.\nAsk attendees to acknowledge possible body (thin) privilege.\nEvaluate therapeutic spaces and environments to ensure they are fat-friendly and free of pathologizing magazines and stigmatizing language/media/magazines.\nAdvocate for self-examination for fatphobia and anti-fat bias.\nIncrease the visibility of fat people and scour websites and waiting rooms for diet culture.\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): 18 CEs (12 CEs can be used for Cultural Competence or Health Equity CEs\, and 6 can be used for Law & Ethics CEs) | $599.00 *** (see below for payment options) Now Only $499.00!\nAs technology advances and mental health education becomes increasingly available\, the population has become more self-aware. The world is changing quickly\, and with it\, more and more people are realizing that their brains work differently from others’. Due to the influence of social media and the shift to focusing on lived experience as a legitimate means of diagnosis\, we are seeing a sudden increase in clients who identify as Autistic and/or an ADHDer. We find that clients are speaking up and finding validation for what they have always known: their brains operate differently from those of their peers\, colleagues\, friends\, and families. As a result\, we are seeing a sudden increase in the young adult and middle-aged population who identify as being Neurodivergent in a Neurotypical world. \nThis workshop series is designed to help clinicians build greater awareness and familiarity with ADHD and Autistic experiences. Participants will come away from this course with a deeper understanding of ADHD and Autism from the Neurodiversity-Affirming Paradigm that focuses on strengths and differences\, not diagnoses\, disorders\, and deficits. \nEspecially following the COVID pandemic and its sometimes long-term impact on the brain and the immune system’s inflammatory processes\, many clients report having different and often challenging sensory processing experiences. We are seeing more adults presenting in our offices with reports that they now have issues not only with taste and smell but with a range of visual\, hearing\, tactile\, balance\, and internal bodily sensations they never have before experienced\, as well as difficulties with attention and memory. This begs the question: have these brain differences always been there but now have been sensitized or magnified by exposure to COVID and months-long isolation? \nMany adults are now recognizing they are not alone and are demanding they not be dismissed or invalidated any longer\, often having experienced the continued frustration of providers questioning their own lived experiences and\, as a result\, having been either undiagnosed or underdiagnosed due to outdated and debunked diagnostic criteria still used by mainstream psychiatrists and physicians. These individuals are finding validation for what they have suspected all along: their brains work differently from those of their peers\, families\, and friends. \nWith new research available and an increasingly empowered clientele\, we see more than ever the need to remain current in our understanding of–and support for–those who have brain differences. Committed to blending cutting-edge scientific evidence with the lived experiences of our clients\, Cascadia Training is delighted to offer a new workshop series designed to help clinicians build greater awareness and familiarity with ADHD and Autistic experiences. \nUpon completion of this series\, participants will have a deeper understanding of ADHD and Autism from the Neurodiversity Affirming Paradigm that focuses on strengths and differences\, not disorders\, diagnoses\, and deficits! \nWoven throughout the series are the law and ethics of working with neurodivergent clients\, including the danger of misdiagnoses\, and the harm of using biased\, outdated\, debunked diagnostic criteria leading to the under-diagnosis of ADHD and Autism spectrum experiences. In addition\, participants will learn about and identify pathologizing\, stigmatizing\, and harmful treatment protocols and clinical interventions still utilized by providers in educational\, physical\, and mental health professions. \nThis series uses a system developed explicitly by B Lourenco\, an expert on ADHD and Autism. The course focuses to a large degree on the internal\, lived experience of neurodiversity. Each of the six weekly sessions will include a didactic portion\, an experiential section\, and direct case consultation time. All modules will include lecture\, video\, and experiential segments. \nCertificate Program Weekly Modules: \nWeek One:  Sensory Systems  – Getting in touch with the sensory system is the most critical step in supporting neurodivergent clients. Sensory information can regulate emotional and physical experiences. In addition\, we will focus on using sensory profiles\, menus\, and diets to support day-to-day quality of life. \nWeek Two: Communication and Relationships – Understanding how those with Autism and ADHD communicate creates room for therapeutic connection. With this understanding\, we will dive into tools for managing meltdowns and shutdowns in an affirming way. \nWeek Three:  Attending and Executive Function – This module will explain why those with Autism and ADHD face challenges attending to their environment by addressing social expectations on perceptions of “functioning.” You will also learn how to use the client’s natural rhythms to support positive functionality. \nWeek Four:  Social Systems and Disability – Understanding how society directly impacts the lives of people with disabilities. We will focus on how clinicians can incorporate advocacy into their practice and tools to unlearn neurotypical values by connecting clients to personal values. \nWeek Five: Differentials and Comorbidities – This module will teach participants how to rule out or “dial in” on other mental health concerns or diagnoses. We will present comorbidities that exist with your neurodivergent clients and how to effectively support them in a non-stigmatizing way. The role of trauma and grief in the lived experience of clients who identify as neurodivergent will be discussed\, as well as the impact of these events on the developing brain. We will process how to best support the grief and disenfranchised losses felt by our autistic and ADHD clients and their families. \nWeek Six: The Use of Joy As a Tool Against Oppression. Creating celebrations of being neurodivergent and finding joy in everyday life as we partner with our neurodivergent clients. The Neurodivergent-affirming certificate program series will conclude with various celebrations we can share with our clients and the shift to viewing “joy itself as a tool against oppression.” As clinicians\, it is important for us to first comprehend–and then share– the ways that society benefits from neurodiversity in general and ADHD and Autism\, in particular. We will conclude by learning ways to help our clients celebrate their neurodiversity and see themselves through an affirming\, strengths-based lens. \nOther topics that will be covered in this practice- and life-altering certificate program series include\, but are not limited to: \n\nAlexithymia and Dysthymia\nARFID\nMisophonia\nGender and sexuality in the ADHD and Autistic communities\nThe role of menstruation on ADHD and Autistic brains\nInterdependence vs codependence and/or independence\nMyths and stigmas about neurodivergent people\nExperiences of abuse in neurodivergent people\nPervasive Desire for Autonomy (PDA)\n\n***Payment Options:\nCascadia Training values quality continuing education that is accessible\, inclusive\, and barrier-free for all. We never want the cost of our workshops to be a barrier to attending\, particularly our multi-session workshops. \nWe offer several options to make our workshops cost-inclusive: payment plans\, limited full- and partial-scholarship opportunities\, student discounts\, early professional\, military/veteran\, LGBTQ+\, BIPOC\, and more discounts. Please email us at hello@cascadiatraining.org for more information. \nFor payment plans\, you can select paying 50% today and 50% due on June 30\, 2026. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Regulation\, Self-Awareness\, and Emotional Clarity 🆕
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nLaw & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs\nYoga Nidra for Nervous System Regulation\, Self-Awareness\, and Emotional Clarity\nThis continuing education workshop is accessible to all clinicians\, regardless of their yoga experience (or lack thereof). No previous yoga experience\, training\, or certification required. \nPresented by: Kylani St. Clair\, LMHC\, CCTP\, RYT\nWhen: Friday\, June 26th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:00 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom (you’ll receive the link the week of the workshop)\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 3 CEs (meets Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence requirements) | Cost: $99.00\nCONTINUING EDUCATION WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:\nNot all clients can “talk their way” into emotional regulation and awareness—so what do you do when words aren’t enough? When a client feels overwhelmed\, scattered\, and/or disconnected\, often the most effective intervention isn’t more verbal processing—it’s helping the nervous system slow down\, settle\, reset\, and recover. Yoga nidra best serves people who are highly anxious and experience chronic stress. \nThis engaging and experiential continuing education workshop\, developed and presented by Kylani St. Clair\, introduces a powerful\, accessible clinical tool for nervous system regulation\, healing\, and self-discovery: yoga nidra! \nYoga nidra is a form of guided deep meditation\, practiced lying down or seated\, that invites clients into a state of profound relaxation—without requiring movement or prior meditation experience. Often described as a state between wakefulness and sleep\, this practice creates space for both deep rest and meaningful insight to emerge simultaneously. \nThrough her decades of yoga practice as a student and eventually a seasoned yoga teacher\, Kylani discovered that several types of yoga – such as yoga nidra – complement her mental health practice and therapeutic techniques in powerful ways. She regularly weaves various forms of ygoa into counseling sessions with clients to support nervous system and emotional regulation\, movement medicine\, spiritual exploration\, and overall mind-body-spirit wellness\, thereby drastically improving client outcomes. Now she has developed this workshop to help you do the same! \nRooted in an ancient tradition\, this workshop will also acknowledge the cultural origins of yoga nidra and explore ways to integrate the practice into clinical work with cultural humility and respect. Through yoga nidra\, clients can gently access physical\, emotional\, cognitive\, and even spiritual awareness\, gaining clarity around their present experience\, values\, needs\, and boundaries while the nervous system actively settles and recovers. What often feels out of reach in a fully alert state can become more accessible through guided rest. \nParticipants in this workshop will not only learn about yoga nidra—they will practice it and experience its powerful effects firsthand! This training includes a guided practice incorporating progressive muscle relaxation\, breathwork\, imagery\, and intention-setting. Emphasis will be placed on the clinician’s role in facilitation\, including the intentional use of tone\, pacing\, and therapeutic presence to support co-regulation\, safety\, and engagement. Ethical considerations will be integrated throughout\, including informed consent\, scope of practice\, and supporting client autonomy and choice within the practice. \nBeyond the experience gained\, participants will develop practical\, immediately applicable skills for integrating yoga nidra into everyday clinical sessions. This includes learning how to assess when yoga nidra may be appropriate\, adapt the practice for different client needs\, and facilitate post-practice processing to deepen insight and therapeutic impact. \nParticipants will also learn how to create their own yoga nidra scripts tailored to their clients’ unique needs\, with attention to accessibility\, inclusivity\, and client-centered care. \nBy the end of this powerful and practical workshop\, clinicians will leave with a deeper understanding of how to use deep rest as a therapeutic intervention—and the confidence to begin using these tools with clients right away. \nCONTINUING EDUCATION WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:\nWorkshop attendees will: \n\nLearn the principles of yoga nidra and its role in nervous system regulation\nParticipate first-hand in a yoga nidra practice\, relaxing your system during training\nPractice guiding clients in yoga nidra with tone\, pacing\, and more\nDevelop your own unique scripts for your clients’ needs\nLearn to facilitate post-practice processing with clients\nIdentify the ethics of introducing yoga nidra into the therapeutic session\, including the scope of practice\, competence with a new technique\, ensuring there is informed consent\, and understanding possible contraindications to including yoga in therapy sessions.\nConsider the cultural and spiritual implications for each client.\nLearn how to understand and build in the client’s unique belief systems into the therapeutic session.\n\nThis continuing education workshop is accessible to all clinicians\, regardless of their yoga experience (or lack thereof). No previous yoga experience\, training\, or certification required. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

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
