SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! The GLP-1 Frontier: Balancing Metabolic Health\, Muscle Mass\, and Mental Wellness 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nLaw & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs!\nThe GLP-1 Frontier: Balancing Metabolic Health\, Muscle Mass\, and Mental Wellness\nPresented by: Dr. Kristen Allott\nWhen: Friday\, September 18\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 12:00 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom.

While these “wonder drugs” offer significant benefits for some\, they can be neutral or even detrimental to others. This seminar provides mental health professionals with a deep dive into the clinical literature\, contrasting pharmaceutical data with real-world outcome studies. \nWe will specifically examine the critical role of muscle mass in sustaining both metabolic and mental health\, and how to identify when these medications may be supporting or compromising a client’s well-being. Participants will leave with a framework for navigating client conversations\, setting realistic expectations\, and “tipping the scales” toward safety and efficacy. \n\nHour 1: The Physiology of Weight Loss: Understanding the intersection of mental health and muscle mass.\nHour 2: Data vs. Reality: Analyzing pharmaceutical research against real-world outcome studies in mental health and addiction.\nHour 3: Clinical Application: Strategies for client goal-setting\, expectation management\, and monitoring outcomes.\n\nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\nAttendees of the continuing education workshop will: \n\nApply ethical standards and include informed consent when introducing holistic concepts and discussing somatic tools with clients.\nProvide client care within ethical scope of practice for mental health practitioners.\nMaintain awareness of possible implicit bias on the part of the clinician when discussing effectiveness and possible outcomes of GLP-1 medications\, especially when prescribed for weight management alone.\nComprehend implicit and explicit biases experienced by clients in larger bodies\, both in our society as a whole and our healthcare system in particular.\nUnderstand the psychological and medical reasons for the use of GLP-1 medications for weight management.\nUnderstand the current landscape of GLP-1 medications and mental health and addiction\, including company claims and FDA research.\nUnderstand the whole-life strategies (nutrition\, movement\, self-care) necessary for successful GLP-1 utilization.\nDevelop skills to support clients in setting realistic\, sustainable goals while navigating the use of GLP-1s.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Professional Wills: Why You Need One and How to Create It
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs!\nProfessional Wills: Why You Need One and How to Create It\nPresented by: Sandy Voit MS\, EdS\, LMHC\, CDFA\nWhen: Thursday\, October 15\, 2026\, 2025 | 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credits: CEs: 2 Law & Ethics CEs | $65.00\nARE YOU IN BREACH OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL ETHICS?\nYou have spent your entire professional career securing and storing medical records and ensuring your clients’ confidentiality. What happens to these records when you retire\, become disabled\, or die? \nDid you know that even if you die\, your estate could be held responsible for malpractice complaints and legal actions brought about by your failure to anticipate your demise? \nFor psychologists\, your Code of Ethics dictates that you are expected to “make reasonable efforts to plan for facilitating services in the event that psychological services are interrupted by factors such as the psychologist’s illness\, death\, unavailability\, relocation\, or retirement…” The same ethical mandate applies to Mental Health Counselors\, Marriage and Family Therapists\, and Social Workers. \nThis workshop provides information and examples of how to prepare for such a situation – creating a Professional Will and identifying a Professional Executor to handle the legal and ethical details necessary to protect yourself and your practice. If something happens to you\, you need a similarly licensed professional (not your spouse or child) to deal with your clients/patients\, confidential records\, office leases\, obtain releases\, make referrals\, etc. In addition\, your clients/patients will likely need help in their grieving and necessary transition to another therapist. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
