The CIBHS Critical Conversation Series continues with Providing 2SLGBTQQIA+ Youth Equitable Care. This training will help participants create a space as safe as possible when working with trans youth, using an intersectional lens with an understanding of the present socio-political climate. The focus is on building clinician’s knowledge about trans youth competent care and helping them create strategies for breaking down barriers and building trust with transgender and gender diverse youth.

Many helping professionals already approach their work from a strengths-based perspective. This workshop goes beyond the ideology of strengths by offering skills, tools, and interventions to help staff create space and open opportunities for movement, even during life challenges and debilitating symptoms people experience. Join Dr. Rick Goscha, co-developer of the Strengths Model, accomplished author, and international speaker and Ally Mabry, LMSW, Strengths Model implementation specialist, to learn how to make a positive impact in people's lives while keeping your work grounded and purposeful.

Join us to learn about Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This introductory DBT workshop is presented in three segments to provide an overview of the core DBT principles that improve clients’ safety and their emotional and behavioral control. Daily emphasis is placed on understanding and practicing a DBT specific clinical approach and the skills within the Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance modules.

In this three-day training brought to you by CIBHS, national trainers Alison Hendricks and Cindy Rollo will assist behavioral health practitioners in understanding the basics of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidenced-based practice for children, adolescents and their parents and caregivers impacted by trauma. A master’s degree in counseling (e.g., social work, counseling, etc.) is required to attend this training and become proficient in the model at the conclusion of the training protocol.
