    Description: Counselors can encounter clients involved in the family court system through various roles. Whether counseling children, conducting evaluations, or providing coparenting counseling, counselors need to understand the intricacies of family law and court proceedings. As clients entangled in the family court system can present with a range of challenges, counselors must learn to clearly define their roles, communicate with attorneys, navigate no-contact orders, understand parenting plans, and establish firm boundaries with all parties. This presentation will detail the ways that counselors can encounter clients involved in the family court system, and outline best practices for working with these clients.

    Description: This webinar will introduce you to a new approach in treating trauma and addressing other issues clients want to address, such as Performance Enhancement or processing grief. Thousands of mental health practitioners have been trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and have found this method of treating Post Traumatic Stress, and other mental health disorders to be brief and effective. It not only eliminates symptoms of PTS quickly but also reduces the risk of compassion fatigue. Many have called ART a “paradigm shift” because of its change in focus from looking at cognitions to aiding the client in eliminating negative images, which the Developer feels are the triggers for negative emotions. If you want to enjoy trauma work, resolve issues more quickly, and reduce secondary trauma, please join us to learn more.
