Diminished feelings of satisfaction\, blaming others\, hopelessness\, and low motivation-working in the counseling profession has its own stressors. Over time\, therapists may notice that it becomes harder to listen to clients’ stories or even that they become “numb” to the details of their clients’ difficulties. Many symptoms are known as the cost of working in the caring professions. Once thought of as being a sign of incomplete clinical training\, Vicarious Traumatization is now recognized as one of the possible experiences of hearing about “the worst of the worst” for a living. \nThis training will offer many theoretical viewpoints on the topic. Every theory has its own view on why we take our work home with us. We will discuss how Psychoanalytic\, Jungian\, Narrative\, and Mindfulness-based theories all have something to offer. We will look at them in depth\, as we take a day-long look at what parts of our work eat away at us. \nWe will do three interactive activities during the training that will help put our learning into practice\, and you will find simple ways to release the stress of your work. The techniques discussed can also be used in supervision and with clients. \nOBJECTIVES:\n\nLearn the signs of Vicarious Traumatization\nUnderstand how different theoretical viewpoints view Vicarious Traumatization\nExplore how their clinical experiences impact them\nLearn how to use narrative-based questions\nProblem-solve challenging clinical examples\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Implicit Bias and Healthcare Equity: The Impact of Self-Awareness
DESCRIPTION:Meets Cultural Competence or Health Equity CE Requirements! \nImplicit Bias and Healthcare Equity: The Impact of Self-Awareness\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Wednesday\, March 25th\, 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: 3 Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs | $99.00\nAge\, race\, ethnicity\, weight\, gender\, social class\, religion\, sexual identity\, gender identity\, profession…this list\, of course\, is incomplete. The point is that there are multitudes of differences between people. Unfortunately\, an interaction with another person can trigger unconsciously held negative or stigmatizing attitudes. Even more worrying\, the research shows that unconscious (i.e.\, implicit) biases of mental health professionals influence how they assess and treat their clients. \nTo address this problem\, this workshop aims to assist clinicians in increasing their awareness of internalized biases toward particular groups. But awareness isn’t enough. We will also explore managing biases\, changing behavior\, and tracking progress. This work will help you reassess your paperwork\, evaluate how you run your clinical practice\, and explore how you might best serve clients\, regardless of their background. \nWe might have little control over our biases\, but what we do have is the power to ensure that those attitudes do not prevent us from treating clients equitably and with dignity. \nWorkshop Objectives:\nParticipants in this workshop will be able to: \n\nDescribe the features of implicit biases.\nLocate and recognize internal biases.\nConsider how to utilize this awareness to create a standard of best practices for their clinical work.\nCreate strategies for managing their implicit biases.\nDevelop strategies that can lead to behavior change in terms of addressing and shifting their biases.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
