This Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) workshop offers clinicians a comprehensive foundation in the theory and application of ACT with a focus on treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and shame.
Participants will explore the six core processes of ACT—cognitive defusion, acceptance, contact with the present moment, self-as-context, values clarification, and committed action—as tools to enhance psychological flexibility and reduce suffering.
The course emphasizes how these processes can help clients move away from avoidance and toward meaningful, values-based living, even in the presence of emotional pain. Through experiential exercises, case examples, and guided practice, clinicians will learn to apply ACT interventions to promote healing and resilience in diverse clinical settings.
Workshop Objectives:

Demonstrate knowledge of ACT basic principles and psychological flexibility.
Experiment with at least two ACT interventions in clinical practice.
Reflect on methods and rationale for incorporating ACT interventions into work with clients.

Anxious-avoidant relationship patterns can feel like a push-and-pull magnet, leaving clients frustrated, disconnected, and stuck in cycles of longing and withdrawal.

Youth and Adult Suicide: Recognition, Assessment, and Treatment of Suicidality

This workshop meets the Washington State suicide assessment requirements for re-licensure. The Washington State Department of Health has approved this 6-hour workshop for its 2022 Model List. This workshop also satisfies the continuing education requirements set by the Department of Health related to suicide assessment, management, and treatment.
Historically, mental health treatment for suicidal individuals has involved extensive psychopharmacology, repeated cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology methods, stress reduction exercises, and/or deep therapy into family-of-origin issues, all proven individually insufficient for the long-term prevention of suicide and suicidality.
The World Health Organization (2019) reported decreasing trends in suicide mortality in most countries across the world. Unfortunately, the mortality of suicide showed an increasing trend in the United States. Between 2000 and 2018, the suicide rate skyrocketed, increasing by a whopping 35% (CDC, 2020). Interestingly, during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, between 2020 and 2021, there was a decrease in suicide rates. This was short-lived, unfortunately, as suicide rates began to increase again by 2% in 2022 (CDC, 2022).
What can we do? As clinicians, we need to understand there are many roads to suicidality — each usually requiring individual intervention.
This workshop presents original concepts in the development of suicidality as an ingenious coping mechanism that develops over time. The brain’s neuroplasticity forms neural pathways that underpin the reinforcing suicidal thought pattern. Brain retraining provides the formation of new healthy neural pathways. The healing process is directed, encouraged, and supported through a specifically designed peer protocol based on existing evidence-based social support.
Research shows that the first suicide attempt is often the first time anyone intervenes. However, it is generally not the first time the danger has been known. Loved ones just don’t know what to do. They take the suicidal individual to a hospital or professional where the treatment protocol has not changed for decades. When the suicidal individual comes home after the attempt, family and friends don’t know how to help prevent the next one. The Jensen Suicide Peer Protocol (JSP3), based on evidence-based principles, is a prescribed method for the family members and concerned others to take an active part in the recovery of their loved one. Randi has used this method for decades and has saved lives.
OBJECTIVES:
• Describe the extent of suicide in the general and special populations, including children, adolescents, and military personnel.
• Distinguish what suicidality is and the difference between self-harm and suicidality
• Explain the psychobiology of suicidality and its progression
• Articulate warning signs and symptoms using simple and effective suicide assessment tools
• Express and practice Motivational Interviewing techniques used in counseling suicidal individuals
• Explain a life-saving peer support protocol and how to implement it
• Describe ethical considerations, documentation, and confidentiality issues.
The Washington State Department of Health has approved this 6-hour workshop for its 2022 Model List. This workshop also satisfies the continuing education requirements set by the Department of Health related to suicide assessment, management, and treatment.
Randi consistently receives excellent evaluations from attendees of her workshops. Here are just a few quotes from past attendees:
* “I took a different class about suicide a few months back. It was so heavy with content and so focused on how to cross every “T” and dot every “I” that I actually left more anxious about treating suicidal clients than before. In contrast, Randi’s workshop gave me a broader general understanding and a way to connect the clinical skills I already have to the treatment of these clients. I feel much more confident and competent working with suicidal clients now.”
* “Ms. Jensen is an extremely competent clinician and presenter. Over my 30+ career in mental health work, this is one of the very best workshops I have attended. Thank you, Cascadia and Randi!”
* “This is the most impactful continuing education class I’ve ever taken!”

Workshop Description
This workshop focuses on the impact of immigration on the mental health of immigrants. It presents an opportunity for licensed therapists to learn about trauma-informed, culturally-attuned therapeutic care to immigrant clients from all over the world. A quick web search about training programs about the mental health needs of immigrants reveals that there is limited knowledge and discussion in the mental health and psychology fields about the immigration process and the unique needs of immigrant communities based on their immigration pathways.
Immigration status is a major factor that intersects with a range of other identity variables (Tahirih Justice Center, 2023) and provides nuance to the inner world of immigrant clients, especially those who may be new to therapy.
Migration to the U.S. has grown steadily over the last few decades. Migration happens for reasons as varied as education and labor opportunities, family reunification, and escape from war, persecution, and other traumatic experiences. Whether by choice (“pull factors” that attract immigrants to the U.S.) or by necessity (“push factors” that necessitate migration out of their home countries), immigrants face a host of psychological and socioeconomic challenges and stressors during and after migrating. These profoundly affect their mental health and quality of life (Shea & Wong, 2022).
Licensed Clinical-Community Psychologist Dr. Gitika Talwar created and will present this workshop, drawing on her personal experience as a first-generation immigrant and immigration activist and her professional experience working with international students, first-generation immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers in the United States. Dr. Talwar’s dissertation focused on the immigration experiences of people who migrated from Afghanistan to the U.S. between 1965 and 2012.
Objectives:

Attendees will reflect on their understanding and personal experience with immigration
Attendees will gain knowledge about multiple pathways of immigration and access to resources
Attendees will learn about neurobiological and psychosocial impact of migration
Attendees will recognize ways to expand their therapeutic prompts and practices to include the needs of the immigrant community
