    Program Description:
    This workshop will provide a basic to intermediate level of training for psychotherapists to effectively support clients who present with sexual concerns. Participants will be offered guidance in responding to clients who mention sexual difficulties during the course of general psychotherapy. The presenter will highlight common sexual challenges that therapists can understand through established psychological theories and treat using existing clinical skills. Recommendations are affirming of clients who identify as LGBQIA, heterosexual, transgender, and cisgender. Biopsychosexual educational resources will be provided for therapists to share with their clients.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Recognize intersections between mental health and common sexual concerns.
    2. Describe empirically supported psychotherapy treatment approaches for addressing sexual challenges.
    3. Discuss case conceptualizations involving sexual issues through the lens of attachment theory.
    4. Apply clinical skills in individual and couples therapy to the treatment of sexual intimacy 
    difficulties.
    5. Assess through a biopsychosocial model when to refer clients for medical testing and adjunctive treatments.

    This workshop is presented by the Utah Psychological Association & Nevada Psychological Association plus a coalition of 16 other State, Provincial and Territorial Psychological Associations.

    Program Description:
    Have you addressed all the telehealth compliance requirements beyond PSYPACT that can differ from state to state?

    Many psychologists underestimate the complex web of state regulations beyond PSYPACT authority, often assuming that licensure alone ensures compliance. In reality, up to 20 additional state-specific regulations exist, each with nuanced requirements that could impact the legality of your services. Navigating these complexities has been challenging, with little practical guidance on identifying, tracking, and complying with nuanced differences across jurisdictions.

    Join this Master Class led by Dr. Marlene Maheu, the pioneer in telebehavioral health compliance. Gain the expertise to stay competent and confident as you expand your practice. Dr. Maheu will guide you through essential terminology, and then engage you in a thought-provoking discussion, equipping you with the resources to grow your telehealth services safely across state lines or international borders.

    Plus, take advantage of these valuable bonuses:

    Managing Emergencies: Learn how to manage emergencies across jurisdictions with real-life case examples tailored to US and international practice.

    Interactive Audience Participation: Engage directly with Dr. Maheu and peers to address your most pressing interjurisdictional concerns in an interactive, collaborative learning telehealth experience.

    Documentation: Get actionable suggestions for documenting telehealth services, including key clauses for your informed consent process to manage telehealth-specific risks.

    Telesupervision: Discover essential skills and documentation practices to provide telesupervision effectively across state lines.

    No-Cost Resources: Access over a dozen no-cost, digital telebehavioral health resources available 24/7 to maintain compliance now and in the future.

    Informed Guidance: Leverage Dr. Maheu's 30 years of telebehavioral health experience, with her exclusive insights from working with more than 89,000 telehealth professionals.

    Compliance Tracking Spreadsheet: Benefit from the convenience of a downloadable state and international compliance tracking spreadsheet, complete with column headings and rows corresponding to regulations identified and described in this Master Class. 

    Modeling: Observe Dr. Maheu's practical approaches and screen presence in real time to minimize screen fatigue and strengthen the therapeutic bond.

    This Master Class goes beyond PSYPACT basics—delving into the complexities of interjurisdictional practice to address real-world regulatory and ethical challenges. Bring your most pressing compliance questions and leave with the skills and clarity to expand your practice across state lines and international borders. Join us to fuel your passion for serving clients wherever they are while enjoying peace of mind from effectively managing legal and ethical risks.

    Learning Objectives:
     1. Participants will be able to identify state-specific compliance requirements that extend beyond PSYPACT and analyze how these requirements vary across jurisdictions.
     2. Participants will list practical strategies for managing the complexities of interjurisdictional practice and implement effective documentation, informed consent, and emergency protocols to ensure compliance across state lines and international borders.
     3. Participants will name at least a dozen no-cost resources to guide them in future decision-making for working over state lines

    Program Description:
    Climate change has been declared a public health crisis. In our region, extreme weather events, such as heat waves, flooding, intense storms, prolonged droughts, and increases in vector-borne disease are causing significant economic, physical, and mental health problems. Individuals, families, and communities continue to struggle with coping and adapting to these adverse impacts of climate change. Transformational Resilience is a model and set of skills that will enable individuals and communities to better adapt to climate change, particularly the mental health consequences. Resilience can be enhanced through acquiring healthy emotional regulation skills, strengthening relationships with others and the ecological web on which life depends, recognizing a sense of purpose, and defining values that contribute to our wellbeing and the wellbeing of others. This interactive workshop will provide an introduction to the Transformational Resilience Model, present a community-level resilience project, and enable attendees to develop their own project.

    Level of Instruction:
    Introductory

    Learning Objectives:
    1. List at least 4 ways that climate change is impacting mental health, especially for marginalized and vulnerable community members.  

    2. Describe how their emotional and psychological reactions to climate change might

    impact their ability to help individuals and communities adapt.

    3. Discuss the ethical dilemmas of either addressing or not addressing the climate crisis

    with clients and others as an informed mental health professional.

    4. Summarize the Transformational Resilience Model and Skills and how it can create equity.

    5. Create a potential community-based Transformational Resilience Project.

    6. List at least 2 potential barriers and at least 1 potential opportunity for developing a Transformational Resilience Project.

    About the Presenters:


    Rebecca MacKenzie, LICSW began sharing her concern for environmental degradation and its effects on all life in a graduate class on International Social Work in 1999. In 2011, Rebecca trained to be an Awakening the Dreamer (ATD) presenter, a multi-media experiential program which begins with illustrating environmental, psychological, spiritual, and social degradation due to the climate crisis. The ATD ends with empowering hope and a call to action for humanity as we awaken to interdisciplinary, systemic solutions. Her work with the International Transformational Resilience Coalition creates conversations within the public and private sectors to build capacity for resilience. As a result of this work, she has developed The Transformational Resilience Project (TRP), highlighted in this workshop. The TRP is meant to be replicated in other regions beyond her own. Rebecca is a clinical social worker with private practices in NH and VT. She is a member of the NH Disaster Behavioral Health Response Team as well as the NH Healthy Climate's Behavioral Health Working Group and Climate Justice Working Group.

    Program Description:

    A somatic approach to therapy engages vital aspects of our clients’ process that are not available through  cognitive work alone. By closely tracking shifts in bodily responses, we can get moment-by-moment  information about their nervous activation that reveals unstated “signs of struggle” and disconnections from full  presence. We can use this data to get a more accurate reading on our clients’ resiliency, which can guide our  pacing of the work. Clients can easily become activated beyond levels of resiliency that are not evident through  their narrative, but are discernable from noticing somatic responses. Such “subtle dissociation” happens  frequently, and is often unintentionally missed, making the therapy more difficult. 

    This workshop will present the value of adding a somatic focus to any approach to therapy. You will learn  specific skills that you can immediately integrate into your practice to put you in closer contact with your  clients’ process. This can give you a wealth of information that arises naturally from your clients to guide your  decision making, and make your therapy easier and more effective.

    Level of Instruction: 

    Introductory 

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Describe the window of tolerance as an active lens to track resilience 

    2. List 3 advantages of tracking clients’ activation somatically 

    3. List 3 ways to assess resiliency somatically 

    4. Describe “bracing” and 2 examples of how it can look in a session 

    5. Demonstrate 2 interventions for working with clients who are hyper-aroused 

    6. Demonstrate 2 interventions for working with clients who are hypo-aroused 

    7. Identify 2 somatic signs of subtle dissociation

    About the Presenter:

    Craig Penner, LMFT, has been in private practice in California since 1982. Two questions have guided his pursuit of effective and efficient therapy: How does our nature work, and how can we best work with that  nature? This led him to study process-oriented, non-interpretative, and somatically-focused approaches and  observe his clients through this lens of how to engage their natural healing potentials. Craig experienced the  value of the use of bilateral stimulation from EMDR through this same lens and integrated all these aspects  together into an approach he calls Natural Processing - naturalprocessing.org. He has been providing highly reviewed trainings across North America and online since 2014. 

    Craig has been a presenter at the international EMDR Summit and Conferences, professional state and local  conferences, and leads trainings, workshops, and numerous ongoing consultation groups.
