This training invites clinicians to dive into the groundbreaking Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study and discover how its findings can illuminate what unfolds in the therapy room every day. Together\, we’ll connect the dots between early adversity and the struggles clients bring into treatment\, from anxiety and depression to health issues and relationship difficulties. \nThrough reflective discussion and practical applications\, participants will learn how to use the ACE framework as a lens for deeper understanding and compassionate clinical work. Therapists will walk away with strategies to integrate ACE awareness into assessment\, treatment planning\, and interventions\, while also empowering clients to build resilience and create new possibilities for growth. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nDevelop an ability to recognize how ACE-related patterns show up in clients’ presenting concerns and relational dynamics.\nLearn practical ways to apply the ACE framework to assessment and treatment planning in everyday clinical practice.\nIdentify strategies to foster resilience and post-traumatic growth in clients with high ACE scores.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk About Sex
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs\nLet’s Talk About Sex\nPresented by B Lourenco\, MA\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Friday\, January 16th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom (you’ll receive the link the week of the workshop)\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competency CEs | Cost: $199.00\nResearch shows that if sex isn’t brought up in the first three therapy sessions\, it is unlikely to ever come up in the therapy space. \nA large majority of clinicians don’t know how to talk to their clients about sexuality and\, subsequently\, aren’t able to help their clients with issues about their sex lives. Many clinicians also believe that conversations about sex are out of their scope of practice\, and while this is true in rare cases\, it’s usually not true. \nEvery single person has a relationship with sexuality\, whether they are asexual or very sexually experienced. Everyone we work with as therapists has a relationship with their sexuality. \nDiscussing sexual health is well within our scope as clinicians! It is ethically mandated for clinicians to continue learning and growing so we can offer the best and most tailored support to our clients. \nThat need has prompted the creation of this workshop\, NOT Your Mom’s Sex Ed Class! \nSocialization teaches us that everyone is cis-gender\, hetero\, and monogamous. Everyone is taught that certain sexual behaviors are “normal” and others are “not.” These norms are echoed in the education systems that clinicians are trained in. Because of the shame-filled way our society treats sexuality\, most folks have a complicated relationship with it. \nWe can serve the entire person when we choose to include conversations about sex and sexual health with our clients. \nThis course will go over the basics of human sexuality and anatomy\, including sexual and gender identities\, as well as the roles of desire\, arousal\, and libido. This course will explore types of sexual dysfunction commonly experienced by clients and how to know if a referral is needed. In addition\, this course will identify ways that all clinicians can become more informed and sex-positive with everyday clients. \nObjectives:\n\nLearn the process of expected sexual development over the lifetime\nIdentify sex organs and their functions\nReview gender and gender identities\nReview sexual identities\nDifferentiate between types of arousal\, desire\, and variations in libido\nExplore concepts about sex/porn addiction vs. out-of-control sexual behaviors\nIdentify the role of society in determining sexual norms and expectations\nDefine the impact of expectation of sexual normativity\nExplore common non-normative identities and behaviors\nLearn common types of sexual dysfunction experienced by everyday clients\nDistinguish the role of attachment wounds and trauma on sexual experiences\nIdentify when a referral to a sex therapy specialist is needed\nUnderstand the basics of sex-positive therapy and how to explore sexual topics with clients\nLearn common types of sexual dysfunction experienced by everyday clients\nDistinguish the role of attachment wounds and trauma on sexual experiences\nIdentify when a referral to a sex therapy specialist is needed\nUnderstand the basics of sex-positive therapy and how to explore sexual topics with clients\nDiscuss ethical best practices around client sexuality and identify possible misdiagnoses due to clinician misinformation\nExplore how cultural norms impact sexual attitudes and perpetuate stigmatizing myths\nIdentify the ethics that mandate we provide culturally sensitive and inclusive clinical practices\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
