SUMMARY:Kinky Sex Ed and Poly 101
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs!\nKinky Sex Ed and Poly 101: A One-Day\, Two-Session Workshop\nPresented by: B Lourenco\, MA\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Friday\, October 16th\, 2026| 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs | Cost: $199.00 \nMorning Session: Kinky Sex Ed for Clinicians (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM\, Pacific) \nIn graduate school\, many programs offered a very limited education on human sexual development. The topics covered were largely typical\, normative experiences. This type of education leaves out so many other ways of being and leaves large gaps in our education about alternative ways of engaging with sex and relationships.  Both sessions of this one-day workshop–Kinky Sex Ed and Poly 101–are intended to help fill the gaps in clinical education and understanding. The goal is that the clinicians who attend will be more fully informed\, more inclusive in their approach\, and better able to support clients with “non-normative” sexual identities and experiences.  Kink refers to any sexual interest or behavior that is outside what is considered normative. Research indicates that many people have explored kinks at some point in their lives\, with many people having a kink as a core component of their sexual experiences. This course will identify common kink terms\, concepts\, and identities so that the clinicians who attend can better support kinky-identified clients. \nObjectives:\n\nLearn how kink is defined and connected to social constructs of normativity\nHave a basic understanding of common kink identities\nLearn basic kink terms and cultural norms\nKnow the differences between and among kinks\, fetishes\, and BDSM\nExplore how kinks develop and change over time and sexual development\nDefine healthy and ethical kink\nIdentify ethical concerns in kink culture\n\nAfternoon Session: Poly 101 for Clinicians (1:00 PM – 4:00 PM)\nIn graduate school\, many programs offered a very limited education on human sexual development\, and the topics covered were largely typical\, normative experiences. This type of education leaves out so many other ways of being and leaves large gaps in our education about alternative ways of engaging with sex and relationships. Kinky Sex Ed and Poly 101 are both intended to help fill the gaps in clinical education and understanding so that clinicians can be more informed and able to support clients with “non-normative” sexual identities and experiences. The socialization that prioritizes monogamy starts very early in Western culture\, with messages about faithfulness\, loyalty\, jealousy\, and love all being inexplicably intertwined. The reality is that–for many people–monogamy simply doesn’t work well for them. This course will explore key terms and concepts of Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) and how to offer support to our clients in the clinical setting. \nObjectives: \n\nLearn monogamous and non-monogamous relationship types\nExplore basic terms and concepts of ethical non-monogamy (ENM)\nIdentify the role of monogamy culture on all relationship types\nDefine the differences between envy\, jealousy\, and trauma responses when navigating ENM\nUnderstand common ethical concerns in ENM\nIdentify the benefits associated with non-monogamous relationship dynamics\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! Burnout Prevention: The Ethics of Self-Care in Clinical Practice 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nLaw & Ethics CEs!\nBurnout Prevention: The Ethics of Self-Care in Clinical Practice\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Wednesday\, October 28th\, 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 (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 3 Law & Ethics CEs | $99.00\nBurnout prevention is not a luxury — it is an ethical responsibility embedded in competent clinical care. \nThis continuing education workshop invites clinicians to examine burnout through the lens of professional ethics\, exploring how chronic stress\, overextension\, compassion fatigue\, and systemic pressures impact clinical judgment\, attunement\, documentation quality\, and client safety. Grounded in professional codes of ethics and supported by research on clinician impairment and occupational stress\, this experiential training moves beyond surface-level “self-care tips” to address sustainable boundaries\, workload realities\, values alignment\, and structural inequities in the field. \nParticipants will engage in reflective exercises\, case analysis\, and practical planning to develop ethically grounded\, prevention-focused strategies that protect both client welfare and clinician longevity. \nWorkshop Objectives:\nBy the end of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify ethical standards related to clinician competence\, impairment\, and self-monitoring\, and explain how burnout can compromise clinical effectiveness and client welfare.\nAnalyze the impact of chronic stress and occupational burnout on therapeutic presence\, decision-making\, boundary clarity\, and risk management.\nApply at least three ethically grounded burnout-prevention strategies that support sustainable practice\, including boundary-setting\, workload calibration\, and systemic advocacy.\nDevelop a personalized\, values-aligned burnout prevention plan that integrates ethical responsibility with realistic professional demands.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
