Ethical Considerations and Therapeutic Equity in Harm Reduction
Presented by Christian Brown, LCSW, CAADCS
Thursday, March 27, 2025
6:00 PM - 8:15 PM EST virtual via Zoom.
approved for 2 Ethics CE hours for Professional Counselors & Social Workers licensed in Georgia
Since the 1970’s, the United States of America have continued to implement best practices regarding medication-assisted medications at a slower pace than its equivalent adversaries. For the clinicians working within this field, there is an ethical responsibility to maintain and advocate for clients who choose to and require harm reduction techniques within clinical practices. Discover how to integrate harm reduction techniques into your clinical practice while upholding ethical standards and client self-determination. This workshop equips young therapists and counselors with practical strategies for supporting clients who choose medication-assisted treatments, including guidance on best practices, informed consent, and thorough documentation to protect both clients and clinicians. Join us for a conversation on saving lives and advocating for progressive, compassionate care.

Presented by Casey Schrader, LCSW and Liz Rhea, LMSW
Thursday, April 24
5:00 PM - 8:15 PM EST virtual via Zoom
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.

Destigmatizing Substance Use and Realistic Treatment in Private Practice
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.
