You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs – Meets Criteria for 2 Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs | $190.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nIn recent years\, mental health professionals have recognized the importance of addressing clients’ religious and spiritual beliefs as integral components of mental health care. This continuing education workshop is designed to equip clinicians with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively integrate religion and spirituality into their therapeutic practice. \nIn this workshop\, we will explore the vital role that spirituality and religion can play in clinical work\, in that it can offer clients a deeper sense of meaning\, purpose\, and connection. We will examine the theoretical frameworks and evidence-based practices that support the integration of spirituality and religion in therapy. \nYou will learn how spiritual beliefs influence clients’ worldviews\, coping mechanisms\, and emotional well-being. You will also become familiar with techniques for assessing clients’ spiritual and religious beliefs\, learning how to incorporate these elements into the therapeutic process. The training will also cover how to create a safe and inclusive environment for discussing spiritual and religious issues. \nWe will also explore the ethical guidelines and cultural competencies necessary for integrating spirituality and religion into counseling. As clinicians\, the goal is to recognize the importance of respecting clients’ beliefs and knowing how to maintain professional boundaries. \nThis training will introduce a wide range of practical therapeutic approaches and interventions that draw upon spiritual and religious resources\, such as mindfulness\, meditation\, prayer\, and ritual. You will learn how to adapt these techniques to suit individual client needs and preferences. \nBy the end of this workshop\, you will have a comprehensive understanding of how to incorporate spirituality and religion into your counseling practice\, which will deepen your ability to support clients on their journey of healing and well-being. My goal is for you to leave with the confidence to engage in meaningful conversations about spirituality and religion with clients\, something that can only enrich the therapeutic experience of both client and clinician. \nThis will be an experiential workshop\, with journaling and small group discussion. Please be sure to have a notebook on hand. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\n\nIdentify the differences between spirituality and religion\nDefine the role and importance of spirituality in mental health\nIdentify the various ways in which a clinician can assess in their intake paperwork for the religious/spiritual background and current relationship to religion/spirituality that a client may have\nGain competency in introducing religious and spiritually based themes to clients\nIdentify the connections between a client’s religious/spiritual perspective\, their worldview\, and their mental health\nDiscuss the influence of a client’s religious/spiritual beliefs on the counseling process\nUnderstand how to employ a client’s religious/spiritual belief system during the collaboration of a treatment plan\nAssist clients in accessing religious and spiritual resources\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
