SUMMARY:Ethical Assessment in Early Childhood Mental Health and Development
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs!\nEthical Assessment in Early Childhood Mental Health and Development\nPresented by: Kristie Baber\, MSW\, LICSW\, CCTP\nWhen: Thursday\, June 18th\, 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 Credits: 6 Law and Ethics CEs | $190.00 \nThis clinical workshop teaches assessment skills\, tools\, and diagnostics to providers engaging with young children. What does depression look like in an infant? Can you attribute a developmental delay to the environment? How is recognizing an attachment pattern valuable to an overall assessment? When is it a typical developmental stage and when is it pathology? We’ll discuss these topics and more – as well as diagnostic and standardized tools to help in our work. We will particularly focus on at-risk populations and the impacts of abuse\, neglect\, and transgenerational issues. Teaching modalities will include a mix of clinical discussion\, lecture\, videos\, case examples\, and group exercises. \nIn response to new legislation in Washington state\, HB 1325\, this class will equip clinicians to utilize the DC:0-5 for diagnosing children and address the new requirement that “Requires clinicians to use the developmentally appropriate standard of practice for diagnosing children 0-5\, the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood (DC:0-5)\, rather than the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.” ** (effective as of 7/25/21) \nObjectives: \n\nExplore components of an ethical assessment process for young children in therapy (supported by WA HB 1325 requiring the Health Care Authority to provide reimbursement for up to five sessions of mental health intake and assessment of children from birth through age 5 in home and community settings).\nDiscuss developmental domains and understand the interplay between early childhood mental health and overall development.\nConsider risk factors (including substance exposure) and examine traumatic impacts on early brain development.\nReview attachment and other developmental tasks in the first five years of life\, as well as standardized tools for evaluation.\nUtilize the DC:0-5 (the DSM-5 for little kids) as the appropriate\, ethical standard of practice and to meet the legal requirement for diagnosing for young children.\nShare community resources for concurrent early childhood intervention (focus will be on King County).\n\n** HB 1325: Implementing policies related to children and youth behavioral health | Partners for Our Children \n**Washington State Legislature \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! Lunch & Learn: Threat Analysis: Improving Self-Regulation with Practical Brain Science 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nLunch & Learn: Threat Analysis: Improving Self-Regulation with Practical Brain Science\nPresented by: Hannah Smith\, MA\, LMHC\, CGP\nWhen: Monday\, July 20th\, 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.\n\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 1.5 CEs | $25.00\nYou will be hard-pressed to find a client in therapy that does not deal with anxiety\, and we all know the rate of people going to therapy for trauma treatment has been significant for some time. \nThen\, we have neurodivergent people who have steadily activated nervous systems we often diagnose as anxiety disorders\, especially social anxiety. \nIn any case\, the results of dysregulation can be destabilizing\, making people feel as if they are under threat\, which could lead to relational issues or cause them to miss out on their lives. \nBut what if it didn’t have to be this way? \nWith advances in our understanding of modern neuroscience and within the framework of Interpersonal Neurobiology\, we now recognize that there are two major neural pathways to nervous system activation\, each indicating a different type of threat. The key is to learn to detect the type of activation occurring and to respond appropriately to each. \nIn this session\, you will learn the science behind these two paths to dysregulation and an easy method to help show clients so they\, too\, can choose the right set of responses to whatever “present moment” situation they find themselves in\, resulting in more effective responses and less overall fear and activation. \nImagine!  A reduction in general\, separation\, and social anxiety! Improved outcomes in trauma when it’s not exacerbated by ongoing fear responses.  If you want to contribute to these outcomes\, this will be an hour well spent! \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:\n\nIdentify and describe the neuro-biological systems involved in nervous system dysregulation\nExplain the two paths to activation\, why they occur\, and the appropriate responses to each\nApply a method to help clients tell the difference between the two paths so they have more buy-in for doing the work of self-regulation\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:A Lifetime of Loss: Integrating Heartache and Grief in Adult & Pediatric Clients
DESCRIPTION:A Lifetime of Loss: Integrating Heartache and Grief in Adult & Pediatric Clients\nPresented by: Kristie Baber\, MSW\, LICSW\, CCTP\nWhen: Thursday\, October 8th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the event.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs | $190.00 \nFrom floating goldfish to the truncated relationships of divorce and foster care\, losses start early for us. This continuing education workshop will explore the universal experience of grief – the process that attempts to recover meaning following a loss (Brown\, 2021) – and the myriad ways in which it can go awry. \nThe wounds of childhood compound as we age and inevitably experience further losses\, each echoing the initial pain. In a realistic and lighthearted way\, we will address the reality of impermanence and our lifelong effort to adjust. From treating acute grief in childhood to the manifestation of unresolved loss in our adult clients\, this class will explore the ways therapists can help integrate the hurts of a lifetime. \nThis class is designed for practicing therapists with clients of all ages. The workshop will be conducted in a Zoom format\, and teaching modalities will include a mix of clinical discussion\, lecture with clinical examples & video illustrations\, as well as individual/group case exercises. \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:\n\nHonoring the complexity of human relationships and experiences\, recognize that death is only one manifestation of the loss people endure.\nUnderstand the neuropsychological basis for traumatic loss experiences in childhood persisting throughout the lifespan into adulthood and affecting our clients long after the event occurred.\nIdentify prolonged grief disorder (a.k.a. complicated grief or traumatic grief) as well as symbolic loss\, disenfranchised grief\, and ambiguous loss.\nRecognize how children’s\, tweens’ & teens’ understanding of death and reaction to loss differs from the presentation of adults; as well as interpret behavioral patterns at different developmental stages.\nImplement therapeutic interventions for adults\, including Worden’s TEAR model and Shear’s HEALING milestones.\nEstablish a treatment plan for clients experiencing grief & loss and explore developmentally appropriate therapeutic tools and activities.\nAccess provided references and resources for further study.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Attachment and the Neurobiology of Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Attachment and the Neurobiology of Relationships\nPresented by: Kristie Baber\, MSW\, LICSW\, CCTP\nWhen: Friday\, October 30th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the event.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs | $190.00 \nThis continuing education workshop focuses on one of the most critical components in mental health\, social development\, and therapeutic intervention across our lifespan – attachment. \nThis class will demonstrate that attachment is a journey\, rather than the predetermined lifelong limitation a jaded clinical view might indicate. It typifies the astounding adaptability and hope inherent in humans – the reasons we believe in our work as therapists. \nThis workshop will give therapists and other helping professionals working with all age populations an understanding of attachment theory\, patterns\, and clinical presentations\, as well as practical tools to create sustainable and effective therapeutic change. We will explore how attachment develops and evolves across a lifespan\, influencing all of our relationships. Teaching modalities will include a mix of clinical discussion\, lecture with clinical examples\, video illustrations\, and individual/group case exercises. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nIdentify key factors that impact and influence our baseline neurobiology such as brain development\, memory systems\, and trauma.\nUnderstand attachment theory\, as well as attachment patterns and clinical presentations.\nLearn the various ways attachment styles impact our lives and all types of relationships.\nRecognize attachment as one of core components in the therapeutic relationship.\nDiscuss attachment-based therapies for children\, adolescents\, adults\, and couples.\n\nREGISTER HERE
