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

SUMMARY:Chronic Pain: Psychological and Somatic Strategies that Offer Relief and Hope
DESCRIPTION:Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs!\nChronic Pain: Psychological and Somatic Strategies that Offer Relief and Hope\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Friday\, August 14th\, 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 (NBCC and NASW-WA approved): 6 Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs | $190.00 \nChronic pain is more than a physical symptom – it is a complex interplay of body\, mind\, and emotion that can impact every dimension of a client’s life. Stress\, trauma\, and persistent tension often amplify pain signals\, reinforcing cycles of discomfort\, hypervigilance\, and emotional dysregulation. \nThis in-depth continuing education workshop is designed for psychotherapists who want to bring a mind-body lens to chronic pain treatment. Participants will explore evidence-informed psychological and somatic strategies (including mindfulness\, grounding\, breathwork\, guided imagery\, hypnosis\, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)\, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy\, and body awareness interventions) that help reduce pain perception\, support regulation\, and foster resilience. \nAttendees will learn how to help clients shift their relationship with pain\, identify and release tension patterns\, and build self-regulation skills. Therapists will leave with practical tools and strategies for combining psychological insight and somatic techniques\, expanding their ability to guide clients toward relief\, restoration\, and improved quality of life. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nDevelop an understanding of how psychological processes and somatic patterns interact in the experience of chronic pain.\nLearn evidence-informed somatic techniques (e.g.\, grounding\, breathwork\, body-awareness practices) that can reduce pain-related stress and support client regulation.\nExplore ways to integrate psychological interventions (e.g.\, cognitive reframing\, mindfulness\, compassion practices) with somatic strategies for holistic pain care.\nBuild skills to recognize and respond to somatic signals of pain and emotional distress\, guiding clients in developing self-soothing and regulation techniques.\nIdentify culturally sensitive approaches for tailoring mind-body interventions to clients with diverse experiences of pain.\nLearn methods for assessing the effectiveness of combined psychological and somatic strategies in reducing pain and enhancing resilience\nIdentify the emotional\, mental\, and spiritual impacts of living with chronic pain.\nUnderstand at least ten non-pharmaceutical ways to manage chronic pain.\nBecome familiar with the emotional issues surrounding chronic pain.\nDiscuss the role of grief and anger in living with chronic pain.\nExplore newer pain management tools such as somatic tracking.\nIdentify how to introduce pain management techniques appropriately to clients.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
