Description

Dr. Malveaux will focus on how psychologists without formal sports specialization can competently support athletes by applying established, evidence-based clinical skills to mental health concerns that are not inherently performance-focused, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, eating disorders, and identity-related transitions such as retirement or unexpected exit from sport. She will also address how sociocultural factors in sport—including discrimination, bias, gender and sexuality-related stress, immigration status, and financial vulnerability—may present clinically and influence mental health and treatment engagement. Finally, Dr. Malveaux will review ethical considerations for working with athletes and will review a structured framework for determining when consultation, referral, or collaborative care with appropriately trained specialists is clinically and ethically indicated.

Upcoming webinars are offered live ("Live Webinar" component) and archived ("Archived Webinar" component) for CE.

Description

The current political and cultural context is highly polarized and fraught with tension and mistrust. In this context psychologists commonly find it challenging to navigate the political and ideological differences that arise in their daily work. Drs. Wise and Cuper will provide an overview of relevant ethical and clinical principles, including the importance of incorporating effective therapist self-care strategies. A multi-faceted model of ethical decision making will be presented that incorporates emotional, interpersonal and contextual factors. This framework will be used to inform an interactive consideration of complex clinical vignettes. Participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences and strategies. This course is 3 hours long, plus a 15-minute break for the live session (the live session runs from 12-3:15pm ET).

Upcoming webinars are offered live ("Live Webinar" component) and archived ("Archived Webinar" component) for CE.

Description

Technology can have a significant impact on sleep and circadian rhythms, yet it also presents opportunities to improve the delivery of evidence-based treatments for sleep disorders. Drs. Ong, Meltzer, and Thorndike will focus on three topics that highlight the interplay between technology and sleep: 1) What should clinicians know about consumer sleep tracking devices? 2) How should clinicians approach the use of technology at bedtime for children and adolescents? 3) Can the emergence of digital therapeutics enhance the delivery of cognitive-behavior therapy for insomnia? Their discussion will incorporate historical, scientific, and practical perspectives on these topics. This course is 3 hours long, plus a 15-minute break for the live session.

Also presented will be a novel person-centered framework of self-injury recovery. Components from this framework will be discussed with attention to how they can be woven into one’s work. In doing so, webinar attendees will be better positioned to foster recovery when working alongside clients who self-injure.

Abstract

Rural trans and nonbinary (TNB) youth face a paradoxical mental health challenge. They increasingly must rely on social media for support and community, but online forums pose a significant risk to young people's mental health and social well-being. The broad accessibility, user anonymity, and group dynamics on social media tend to amplify bullying and violent speech. The authors examine the clinical and ethical challenges rural mental health providers (MHPs) face, such as navigating complex, ever-increasing state and federal laws and policies affecting TNB youth; operating as specialists in service deserts; and balancing ethical obligations with client safety. We propose a therapy intervention model called Digital Literacy for Resistance (DLR) that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools with digital literacy strategies to empower rural TNB youth and their families.
