This 3-hour workshop explores how to support Queer and Trans (abbreviated Q/T) couples as a cis and/or non-Queer clinician. This workshop is designed for providers who do not hold Queer or Trans identities to increase competence and effectiveness in supporting Q/T-identified couples and partners. We will delve into means of facilitating an affirming and brave space, the common clinical considerations and cultural norms for Q/T partnerships, and tangible ways to engage in best practices while working with Q/T partnerships. While this training is geared toward providers, it is open to graduate students of all identities, interested Q/T providers, and supervisors of cis or non-Queer supervisees.

Substance and process use continue to be stigmatized areas of the mental health field, particularly outside of the traditional hospitalization environments. Working with users can be intimidating in environments not dedicated specifically to this concern for clinicians at all levels. This workshop is designed for clinicians who do not specialize in substance use disorders in outpatient practice settings to gain knowledge about the treatment of substance and process use outside of specialized treatment. This workshop explores the spectrum of substance use, respect for self-determination, considerations for diagnosis, level of care assessment using ASAM levels, and how to implement these into outpatient practice using an empirically-researched lens.

This workshop explores how mindfulness can be integrated into the healing process for relational trauma within queer relationships. We will examine how mindfulness practices can help clients become more present, reduce anxiety, and enhance emotional regulation as they work through trauma. The training focuses on using mindfulness to rebuild trust and intimacy, while also addressing the specific challenges faced by queer individuals, such as internalized stigma and minority stress. Therapists will learn how to guide clients in cultivating self-compassion, fostering resilience, and creating more mindful and affirming relationships.
