Creating an Empowering Practice —A Model for Working with Children and Families on Sexual Trauma
Friday, October 10
9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

This workshop will provide clinicians with intervention strategies to help families recovering from trauma move from the stance of fragile to a stance of health and thriving. This strength-based approach integrates family systems theory, an understanding of the impact of trauma and intervention ideas to empower and guide families to move towards long term wellness. The model uses the metaphor of a tool belt to aid professionals in understanding how to implement interventions.

Working the Paradigm of Forgiveness in the Therapeutic Process
Friday, November 7
9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

The concept of forgiveness is a complicated issue for many engaged in the therapeutic process, especially survivors of trauma. This workshop will explore what it means to forgive in the therapeutic context, and what paradigms to use when clients are struggling with whether or not they “need” to forgive in order to recover. The personal, clinical, emotional and spiritual impact of forgiveness will be explored, as well as intervention strategies around this challenging topic.
