Beyond being a requirement of most licensure boards\, research shows that improving practitioner competence decreases burnout and increases job satisfaction! \nOne of the hottest topics is the integration of neuroscience into mental health treatment. You heard this\, and you want to learn more – but it feels daunting and overwhelming in the face of all you have to deal with every day. The prospect just does not sound pleasant. \nSo\, why not make it easier? \nIntroducing Cascadia’s brain science certificate series! \nIn keeping with not only teaching to the brain in presentation style\, but also in the ability to take in and retain\, Cascadia now offers this in a series of three-hour sessions over a few weeks! The benefits are many! \nFirst\, the course is separated into four discrete and highly useful sessions: \nWeek One: Pertinent Therapeutic Neuroscience \nWeek Two: Applications in Therapeutic Neuroscience \nWeek Three: Neuroscience-informed Cognitive Approaches  \nWeek Four: Neuroscience-informed Somatic Approaches.  \nBesides three-hour time blocks being easier to manage than an entire day\, you will also have lots of time to think about\, try things\, and ask questions in between sessions\, as skill support inquiries are encouraged! \nNone of us wants to spend our time learning only to come away tired and feeling that we could not retain what we learned.  In this format\, you will have the chance to really sink your teeth into the material and build a sense of competence! \nAll this will take place in the comfort of your own home! \nIf you have wanted to take your practice to the next level by incorporating cutting-edge neuroscience\, then this is the course for you!

You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 15 CEs (10 Law & Ethics CEs) | $395.00 (see below for payment options)\nThis workshop meets the training requirement for becoming an Approved Clinical Supervisor.\nProviding supervision can be a rewarding addition to a clinical practice. However\, many clinicians are reluctant to become supervisors due to legal and ethical liability concerns.  These concerns are often increased by a lack of accurate information about the true risks of liability faced by supervisors. \nThrough direct instructions\, presentation of real-life scenarios\, and group discussions\, participants will understand the fundamentals of supervision best practices to improve their effectiveness and skill as clinical supervisors. \nThis three-day\, 15-hour supervision workshop is designed to meet the training requirements for Washington State Approved Supervisors.\nObjectives:\n• Identify and assess sources of significant liability in supervision; \n• Construct effective strategies for creating a sound supervision agreement; \n• Describe key conceptual frameworks for supervision; \n• Compare various theoretical approaches to supervision; \n• Contrast various types of supervisory relationships; \n• Examine the benefits between group and individual supervision settings; \n• Summarize the legal and ethical regulation of supervision; \n• Maximize supervisor\, supervisee\, and client success through supervision structure; \n• Integrate regulation and practice to provide quality supervision documentation. \nPayment Options\nCascadia Training values quality continuing education that is accessible\, inclusive\, and without barriers to all. We never want the cost of our workshops to be a barrier to attending one of our workshops\, particularly our multi-session workshops. \nWe offer several options to make our workshops cost-inclusive: payment plans and a limited number of discounts for students and early professionals. \nFor payment plans\, you can select paying 50% today and 50% due by May 31st\, 2026. \nPlease email us at hello@cascadiatraining.org to inquire about possible discounts. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! Enduring Relationships: Connection-Driven Tools to Mitigate Separations & Transitions in Foster Care🆕
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nHealth Equity or Cultural Competence CEs!\nEnduring Relationships: Connection-Driven Tools to Mitigate Separations & Transitions in Foster Care\nPresented by: Kristie Baber\, MSW\, LICSW\, CCTP\nWhen: Thursday\, May 7th\, 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 | $90.00\nDespite Julia Robert’s assertion to Richard Gere in Pretty Woman\, home is NOT just geography. Most importantly\, it’s about relationships – the ones we build\, the ones we lose\, and the ones we nurture despite the challenges of distance or system involvement. \nDealing with the inherent issues of separation and transition in the foster care system\, this workshop will address ways to protect connections\, prioritize relationships\, and buffer the experience of loss. With a focus on our kids’ experience of the world\, we’ll explore the following: \n\nVisits\, separations\, and transitions with relationships as the focus\nUnique exposure to grief & loss\nHealthy transitions with tools & resources\nImpacts of placement moves at different stages\nEffective communication with children\nReconsideration of permanence\, family relationships & “open” adoption\n\nThe audience for this workshop includes mental health therapists\, social workers\, caregivers\, and any pediatric providers caring for system-involved children. There will be videos and case vignettes to illustrate\, as well as tons of tools and resources provided (because your jobs are hard enough!). \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Love What Hurts
DESCRIPTION:Back by Popular Demand!\nLove What Hurts\nPresented by: Lisha Song\, LMHC\nWhen: Friday\, May 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 workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 CEs |$190.00\nIn this workshop\, attendees will learn how to notice where emotions are felt in the body from an observer’s point of view\, recognize negative beliefs that are attached to these emotions (i.e.\, “I’m not good enough”)\, and identify the past events/experiences that are related to these emotions. Attendees will also learn how to neutralize these emotions and negative cognitions through an ego-state practice called the “Clearing Exercise.” \nClinicians who attend will learn techniques to enhance positive feelings\, sensations\, or beliefs through bilateral stimulation (tapping). \nBy the end of this one-day training\, you will be able to teach your clients these skills\, so they can experience self-compassion and clarity of thought\, and learn to follow their own inner guidance to make better decisions.  \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES: \n\nUnderstanding how the body stores past emotional wounding and traumatic experiences\, noticing where those emotions are felt specifically in the body by becoming an “observer” of the experience\, and learning how to neutralize those feelings and sensations.\n Exercising the power of imagination or a “felt sense” and befriending those wounded parts of Self\, and learn how to nurture those parts.\nUnderstanding our ever-sophisticated nervous system through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory and utilizing its tools to further our management of it.\nRecognizing how negative beliefs about the self manifest over time and become part of our identity.\nLearning to awaken the unconscious through the “sixth sense” of intuition and spiritual connection\, and adopt more trust in your own inner knowing. When nervous systems are hijacked by emotional triggers\, we tend not to trust our intuition.\nFeeling more empowered and compassionate when triggers from past experiences hijack the nervous system by practicing Lisha’s Clearing Exercise and teaching it to clients.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
