Description: Never before has our society been so fractured along political, ideological, and cultural divides, and counselors are uniquely positioned to be at the 'front lines' of this culture clash. This means we have an opportunity to help our clients learn how to mend their relationships, become more tolerant of personal differences, and find ways to connect in a fractured world. This task also requires that we lead the way by doing the hard work of exploring our own biases, blindspots, and stereotypes and ways they might be putting up walls between us and those with different backgrounds and beliefs, including our clients.
This 3 CE live online training will present relevant examples of the social and cultural divide in our society and ways it can show up in the counseling office and larger profession as personal biases. Ethical and therapeutic consequences of these biases will also be reviewed, with realistic case conceptualizations and interactive group discussions.
Ethical codes in counseling and social work will also be presented to help frame the discussion and identify right responses and actions. Participants will be challenged to use a multicultural framework to be able to better understand, empathize, relate to, and help clients with different beliefs and backgrounds than our own.
Objectives:
- Participants will become more aware of their own beliefs and biases and ways these could show up with their clients.
- Participants will be able to list three potential consequences of personal biases on clients, the therapeutic relationship, or the effectiveness of counseling.
- Participants will be able to explain how to apply a multicultural framework and one or more of the ACA or NASW code of ethics when working with clients who have different beliefs than them.

Description: Pornography has become more accessible than ever before, and it's use is increasingly normalized. At the same time, today's 'mainstream' porn is more graphic, violent, and abusive than some of the most taboo forms of pornography that existed just a decade or two ago. The effects are still being unraveled, but research suggests that porn addiction is becoming more commonplace, and is causing harmful effects to individuals, relationships, and society at large.
This 3 CE live online training will present the available research on the pornography problem, exploring the evidence for the existence of porn addiction, and studies showing the effects on mental health, relationships, and the larger culture. Participants will be provided with an in-depth exploration of how pornography addiction can present in individual and couples work, ways to assess for problem porn use, and interventions to help people working to break their porn habit.
Objectives:
- Participants will learn about trends in pornography use including how prevalent it is and what populations are being most affected
- Participants will be able to list three or more potential signs of problem pornography use in couples or individual counseling
- Participants will learn approaches to help iniate conversations about porn and interventions to help clients wanting to cut down or stop using pornography
