Jenny Redlin, MS, LMHC, NCC & Kelli Powel | Expressive Arts Online Registration |
Incorporating the arts into your practice doesn't mean you have to be an artist. It doesn't mean you or your client need tons of supplies, will make a huge mess or need to experience the discomfort sometimes associated with creative expression. What it does mean, is working with clients of all ages in deeply personal and therapeutic ways that allow us to get in touch with the true self, with buried trauma and conflict, and to communicate in the language of the limbic system. This training will help you expand your clinical toolbox by giving you every day ideas that don't require special knowledge or fancy tools... and you can use them with the next client you see! | via Zoom |

Kelli Powell, |
Music Therapy Online Registration |
Professional musicians and music therapists do not own music! Human beings use music in their daily lives for countless reasons including celebration, relaxation, motivation and prayer. This talk will introduce methods for the therapeutic use of music in a therapy session - even if the therapist and/or the client are not musicians. Methods such as song discussion, music listening, lyric analysis, meditation, and therapeutic instrument instruction will be defined and demonstrated. If you have an instrument such as a guitar or ukulele, have it with you! Otherwise, no tools or supplies are needed to attend this talk. For more Information |

Dakota Funk, MSW, LISW and April Davis, LISW, IADC | LGBTQ+ Online Registration |
This training will focus mainly on how clinicians can effectively work with Transgender/Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC) clients by utilizing evidence-based and affirmative practice techniques to assist TGNC clients in their healing journey. This training will also focus on the history of discriminatory practices that are no longer relevant with the LGBTQ+ community as a whole and the harm that these practices have done to these clients. Clinicians will learn how these harmful practices have affected the LGBTQ+ community and the importance utilizing culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed & affirmative practice treatment approaches with LGBTQ+ & TGNC clients. Clinicians will also learn and understand the importance of advocacy for this community. We recommended that people who participate in this training purchase "A Clinician's Guide to Gender Affirming Care" by Sand C. Chang, Anneliese A. Singh, & lore m. dickey & "Exploring My Identities" by Van Ethan Levy. It would be beneficial if people take the Unconscious Biases test. The link to that test is https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/selectatest.htmland take the test on Sexuality IAT and Transgender IAT.s |
