Time: TBD
Location: Webinar (available for live or asynchronous viewing)
$15 Members / $25 Non-Members
Resist Refuse Dynamics (RRD) are activated during Therapeutic Interventions (TI's). Activated Resist Refuse is difficult for clinicians to manage. The presentation examines how RRD factors are activated, and how TI's can be organized to minimize treatment resistance. The workshop also examines how psycho-legal and clinical issues interface when TI activated RRD cannot be resolved.
Registration information coming soon.

Location: Webinar (details to be provided to paid registrants)
$15 Members / $25 Non-Members
The Annual Orientation and Update is approaching. This year we’re VIRTUAL. Our 2020 O&U meeting will review different service roles (Parenting Coordinator, Comprehensive Family Evaluator, Therapeutic Interventionist, Forensically Informed Therapist, etc.), but also include Q&A by panelists about some “does and doesn’t” of providing services in those roles. Participating judges will detail what they look for from service providers and offer tips to improve work product. Attorneys will address the continuing evolution of presumptive 50%-50% parenting time orders versus Best Interest standards. Ethical updates regarding telepractice for mental health providers will be discussed.

After registering, you will receive an email with instructions to access the video, as well as your CE certificate of attendance!
