SUMMARY:Death Planning and Acceptance: Breaking Down Stigma and Fear with Clients
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, and Cultural Competence CEs!\nDeath Planning and Acceptance: Breaking Down Stigma and Fear with Clients\nPresented by: Kylani St. Clair\, LMHC\, CCTP\, RYT\nWhen: Friday\, September 11\, 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 (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs -2 count as Law & Ethics and 2 count as Health Equity or Cultural Competence | $190.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nWhen a client says “The thought of my family dying keeps me up at night\,” or “I’m terrified of death\,” a clinician tends to have their own moment of fear or hesitation. Sometimes we don’t know how to respond\, what we’re “allowed” to say\, what we can offer without activating our own countertransference\, or we’re afraid to broach the cultural/religious beliefs. As a society\, we used to be more comfortable with death\, literally and figuratively. Not long ago\, we were planning for the inevitable much earlier in life. We even displayed the deceased in our living rooms for mourners to visit- sometimes for a week or more! The U.S. has especially stigmatized death and it’s palpable in our sessions. That existential dread and anxiety that sometimes leads to panic attacks and depressive episodes often has death at the core. \nFurther\, grief and loss are often compounded when we don’t know what the deceased person wanted\, how to pay for after-death services\, and contacting the people who need to be informed. For example\, do you know if your partner wants to be cremated or buried? Is it important to you to be buried in another state? If so\, do you know what the protocols are for being transported across state lines? Do you have enough money to pay for what the service the deceased wanted? If we don’t have these conversations in our personal lives\, how can we hold space for them with our clients? \nIn this continuing education workshop\, we will break down some of the barriers to discussing death. We will learn about the process of dying\, identify laws and regulations to navigate options\, and de-stigmatize death. We’ll navigate the how\, what\, when\, and why of these conversation in session and how to continue the conversations at home. Throughout this process\, you will ease your own countertransference about death\, making death planning and acceptance with clients more meaningful. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives: \n\nReduce existential dread and anxiety regarding death.\nReduce levels of depression seated in despair about death.\nNavigate clinical history at a multicultural level\, providing both clients and clinicians with options for how to handle their own death\, burial\, funeral\, etc.\n Share artifacts and resources for various death professionals.\nApply cultural\, religious\, and familial traditions.\n Identify differences between tradition types. Explore learner’s experiences. Identify any countertransference and how to hold space for it during session. Practice self-disclosure.\nRevisit Kubler-Ross’ stages of grief and introduce David Kessler’s Needs of the Dying affirmations.\nDiscuss pre-grieving\, second-grieving\, disenfranchised grief\, and normalize the process of grief.\nImprove client advocacy via communication and understanding rights.\nPractice communication around goals\, desires\, needs for end-of-life care\, including\, but not limited to\, funeral and burial details.\nModel the practice self-advocacy via the “Caregiver’s Bill of Rights\,” including gaining a thorough understanding of laws and regulations around death and dying.\nNavigate grief and loss\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Regulation\, Self-Awareness\, and Emotional Clarity 🆕
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nLaw & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs\nYoga Nidra for Nervous System Regulation\, Self-Awareness\, and Emotional Clarity\nThis continuing education workshop is accessible to all clinicians\, regardless of their yoga experience (or lack thereof). No previous yoga experience\, training\, or certification required. \nPresented by: Kylani St. Clair\, LMHC\, CCTP\, RYT\nWhen: Friday\, June 26th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:00 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom (you’ll receive the link the week of the workshop)\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 3 CEs (meets Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence requirements) | Cost: $99.00\nCONTINUING EDUCATION WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:\nNot all clients can “talk their way” into emotional regulation and awareness—so what do you do when words aren’t enough? When a client feels overwhelmed\, scattered\, and/or disconnected\, often the most effective intervention isn’t more verbal processing—it’s helping the nervous system slow down\, settle\, reset\, and recover. Yoga nidra best serves people who are highly anxious and experience chronic stress. \nThis engaging and experiential continuing education workshop\, developed and presented by Kylani St. Clair\, introduces a powerful\, accessible clinical tool for nervous system regulation\, healing\, and self-discovery: yoga nidra! \nYoga nidra is a form of guided deep meditation\, practiced lying down or seated\, that invites clients into a state of profound relaxation—without requiring movement or prior meditation experience. Often described as a state between wakefulness and sleep\, this practice creates space for both deep rest and meaningful insight to emerge simultaneously. \nThrough her decades of yoga practice as a student and eventually a seasoned yoga teacher\, Kylani discovered that several types of yoga – such as yoga nidra – complement her mental health practice and therapeutic techniques in powerful ways. She regularly weaves various forms of ygoa into counseling sessions with clients to support nervous system and emotional regulation\, movement medicine\, spiritual exploration\, and overall mind-body-spirit wellness\, thereby drastically improving client outcomes. Now she has developed this workshop to help you do the same! \nRooted in an ancient tradition\, this workshop will also acknowledge the cultural origins of yoga nidra and explore ways to integrate the practice into clinical work with cultural humility and respect. Through yoga nidra\, clients can gently access physical\, emotional\, cognitive\, and even spiritual awareness\, gaining clarity around their present experience\, values\, needs\, and boundaries while the nervous system actively settles and recovers. What often feels out of reach in a fully alert state can become more accessible through guided rest. \nParticipants in this workshop will not only learn about yoga nidra—they will practice it and experience its powerful effects firsthand! This training includes a guided practice incorporating progressive muscle relaxation\, breathwork\, imagery\, and intention-setting. Emphasis will be placed on the clinician’s role in facilitation\, including the intentional use of tone\, pacing\, and therapeutic presence to support co-regulation\, safety\, and engagement. Ethical considerations will be integrated throughout\, including informed consent\, scope of practice\, and supporting client autonomy and choice within the practice. \nBeyond the experience gained\, participants will develop practical\, immediately applicable skills for integrating yoga nidra into everyday clinical sessions. This includes learning how to assess when yoga nidra may be appropriate\, adapt the practice for different client needs\, and facilitate post-practice processing to deepen insight and therapeutic impact. \nParticipants will also learn how to create their own yoga nidra scripts tailored to their clients’ unique needs\, with attention to accessibility\, inclusivity\, and client-centered care. \nBy the end of this powerful and practical workshop\, clinicians will leave with a deeper understanding of how to use deep rest as a therapeutic intervention—and the confidence to begin using these tools with clients right away. \nCONTINUING EDUCATION WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:\nWorkshop attendees will: \n\nLearn the principles of yoga nidra and its role in nervous system regulation\nParticipate first-hand in a yoga nidra practice\, relaxing your system during training\nPractice guiding clients in yoga nidra with tone\, pacing\, and more\nDevelop your own unique scripts for your clients’ needs\nLearn to facilitate post-practice processing with clients\nIdentify the ethics of introducing yoga nidra into the therapeutic session\, including the scope of practice\, competence with a new technique\, ensuring there is informed consent\, and understanding possible contraindications to including yoga in therapy sessions.\nConsider the cultural and spiritual implications for each client.\nLearn how to understand and build in the client’s unique belief systems into the therapeutic session.\n\nThis continuing education workshop is accessible to all clinicians\, regardless of their yoga experience (or lack thereof). No previous yoga experience\, training\, or certification required. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
