DESCRIPTION: Ozempic and related drugs now help people lose up to 20% of their body weight  with generally manageable side effects. As the price of these drugs drops, even more of our patients will take them.
How are these drugs (GLP-1 agonists) affecting couples and families? What about the self-image, decision-making, and sexual choices of individuals who finally lose weight after years of struggle and failure? How are the mates, children, friends, and co-workers responding to familiar people with suddenly unfamiliar bodies? And how are these slimmer people responding to others’ responses to them?
Not every newly-slim person will revel in the new attention they get at work. Not every couple will easily navigate the de-centering of food in one partner’s life. Not every lifelong-shy person will feel comfortable with the increased encouragement to socialize. Not every marriage will enjoy the melting away of one newly-slim partner’s sexual inhibitions. Not every newly-slim parent will know how to deal with their teenagers’ envy or insecurity. And not every newly-slim person will feel comfortable admitting how they’ve lost all that weight. And what about the loss of identity?
Therapists and healthcare professionals need to address the emotional and systemic effects of these new weight-loss drugs. Rather than waiting for patients to raise these issues, we must be prepared to ask lots of questions about their challenges.
Video will only be available for 30 days after the webinar.

<iframe loading="lazy" title="Counseling Arab Americans Intro" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1062042133?h=c46e87e841&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media"></iframe>
NOTE TO PSYCHOLOGISTS: For psychologists not licensed in CA, NY, &amp; VA Continuing Education certificates will be designated as home study.
DESCRIPTION: With the growing diversity of clients seeking mental health care, there is a pressing need to improve the cultural sensitivity of therapeutic interventions, particularly for Arab Americans as a minority group. The Arab American community is a culturally diverse ethnic group that has received relatively little attention in academic and clinical literature compared to other ethnic groups in the United States. This webinar will provide an overview of Arab populations, focusing on their ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity. It will also explore the impact of both actual and perceived experiences of discrimination and prejudice on the mental health of Arab clients. The seminar will offer clinical recommendations for culturally sensitive treatment strategies to support clinicians working with this population.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory

<iframe loading="lazy" title="Griswold Notes Webinar Intro" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/831293849?h=ec9901c937&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media"></iframe>
This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: If you are a psychotherapist who never received training in how to write progress notes, you are in good company.  But you may not realize how your current note-keeping habits can hurt you — or your clients.  Especially with insurance plans more frequently reviewing client charts — even those of out-of-network therapists — this training couldn’t be more essential.
This three-hour webinar will give you a great overview of how to write progress notes, with an eye toward meeting legal, ethical, and licensing boards requirements.  You&#8217;ll be given tips to create brief, helpful notes that can allow you to feel confident if you ever receive a records request, or if you have to defend yourself in a complaint.   In addition, you will learn about health plan documentation requirements, in case you are audited.  For all therapists, more detailed notes can mean protecting ourselves, as well as helping clients get the treatment they deserve.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

What's Missing From Your Charts: Writing Great Notes

What’s Missing From Your Charts: Writing Great Notes

<iframe loading="lazy" title="Med Probs vs Mental Health Probs Intro" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1064804746?h=5a7f5b2fd0&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media"></iframe>
This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: Mental health symptoms aren’t always what they seem—fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, panic attacks, and even memory problems can sometimes be signs of underlying medical conditions rather than purely psychological disorders. What if your client’s “treatment-resistant depression” is actually a thyroid disorder? Or their panic attacks are being fueled by undiagnosed heart issues?
As a mental health professional, you’re the first line of defense in helping clients get the care they need—but recognizing when to treat, investigate further, or refer out can be tricky. This practical, eye-opening training will give you the confidence to differentiate medical from psychiatric conditions so you can stop second-guessing, make smarter clinical decisions, and ensure your clients receive the right treatment.
Among the topics covered in this webinar include:
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>The top medical conditions that masquerade as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and even psychosis</li>
<li>5 key screening questions (+ follow-ups!) to help you determine if symptoms might have a medical cause</li>
<li>When to refer to a medical provider—and how to advocate when medical concerns are dismissed</li>
<li>How sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle factors can mimic or worsen psychiatric symptoms</li>
<li>Real-world case examples to help you apply your knowledge in practice</li>
</ul>
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory/Intermediate

When Medical Problems Look like Mental Health Disorders

When Medical Problems Look like Mental Health Disorders: Key Insights for Clinicians

Free for Members
DESCRIPTION: Join us for a timely and insightful conversation with Dana Ackley, PhD, author of *<a href="https://theeqpress.com/?gad_source=1&amp;gbraid=0AAAAArBXHq_udLJFrz754NfN08252jjZk&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwkN--BhDkARIsAD_mnIq0nkEbdYiRNYtdRoooDZCN5PLh4aVzmRfbnIP37wUzdACZ1vGD7eYaAu72EALw_wcB">A Little Book to Save Humanity</a>.* Dr. Ackley provides a refreshing antidote to the approach of the fear entrepreneurs  &#8211;  the folks on social media, in the news, and those politicians who enrich themselves by selling us on the idea that the world is a dangerous place – and that those who do not share our views are not to be trusted.
Through compassion, humor, and wisdom amassed from a lifetime of being first a therapist and then an executive coach, Dr. Ackley will discuss why and how fear sells. Even more importantly, how we can use Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to better manage disruptive emotions, develop resilience, and build healthier relationships.
Dr. Ackley will share practical strategies that professionals can use to help both their clients and themselves build stronger emotional awareness and self/other understanding.
This is sure to be a lively discussion with lots of sensible tidbits allowing time for your questions and reflections.
Video will only be available for 30 days after the webinar.
