The Heart and Soul of Change: PCOMS, the Therapeutic Alliance, and Positive Outcomes for Clients 5 CEU's* Tuesday, May 19th, 2015 10:00am - 4:30pm Edgewood Center San Francisco - RSVP HERE At the root of many controversies in our field is the important question: "what works with helping our clients to achieve successful outcomes?" Is success based on the use of specialized techniques or do other factors account for the change? This training intends to give you the basics needed so you can begin implementing client-directed, outcome-informed (CDOI) ideas and practices that are part of the Partners for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS). As many of you know, PCOMS is included in SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP). The research supports that it is the pan-theoretical elements that account for therapeutic transformation across models and schools of thought and that adding feedback to your work is what improves outcomes. PCOMS uses the Outcome Rating Scale and the Session Rating Scale to develop, sustain and monitor client outcomes and the therapeutic alliance. PCOMS can be used flexibly with any population, any diagnoses, in any settings. It is the "One Size Fits All" EBP. In this training, study the Outcome Rating Scale and the Satisfaction Rating Scale as a means of understanding your client's needs and developing the kind of relational alliance that leads to improved success and positive outcomes.

Understanding and Supporting the Process of Grief and Loss in Children, Youth & Ourselves 4 CEU's* Thursday, June 18th, 2015 9:00am - 1:00pm Edgewood Center San Francisco - RSVP HERE Being separated from loved ones and being torn from home and everything familiar is devastating for children and youth. The resulting experiences of loss and grief are profound and lasting. Because children have no choices in this experience, the impact for them is more severe than that for the adults in similar events. The training is designed to increase understanding, awareness and strategies for caretakers and providers who will help the child process, cope and eventually integrate the overwhelming and persistent feelings they are struggling with. We have incorporated experiential exercises to build empathy and sensitivity in care providers. The pursuing grief forever shapes the internal working model and resultant behaviors for the child. Our role as caretakers and providers will be to help the child process, cope and eventually integrate the overwhelming and persistent feelings they are struggling with. The training also addresses the grief that surfaces for us as we help the youth along this painful journey. Participants will learn The stages, triggers and reactions to grief in children and ourselves How to help others and ourselves manage and move through grief To honor grief as a natural process and healing as an ongoing process Phases of healing and methods to promote them Presented by Beverly Kyer Beverly Kyer has been a Public Speaker and Educator for more than 30 years with specialties in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; the Trauma Impact on Brain Development and Learning in Children and Youth, and Compassion Fatigue, AKA Vicarious Trauma.

Fundamentals of Sandplay for Therapeutic Work with Youth: An Experiential Workshop 3 CEU's* Friday, June 26th, 2015 9:30am - 12:30pm Edgewood Center San Francisco - RSVP HERE This hands-on workshop will introduce the method and psychological framework of sandplay as a therapeutic extension or alternative to cognitive therapies. With a background of over 75 years, it is considered one of the most effective and safe modalities for resolving trauma, abuse and developmental wounding. The child's language is the language of symbol. Sandplay works with this non-verbal, or even pre-verbal, landscape, creating a safe place in which the client naturally expresses their deepest selves, and allowing healing to take place. In this three hour workshop, we will explore the historical roots, theory and practice of sandplay therapy as originated by Dora Kalff. Participants will learn about the sandplay theory and practice through experiential work, as well as viewing and responding aesthetically to images of the sandplay process of a child. There will be room for questions and discussion throughout. A newly released 30 minute video: What is Sandplay Therapy? (https://vimeo.com/124999326) is recommended to view prior to the course. In this workshop, participants will: Learn the history and development of sandplay as a therapeutic modality Learn Dora Kalff's concept of the "free and protected space" Explore the non-directive role of interpretation in sandplay therapy Experience a sandplay process of a child with a focus on awareness of symbols arising from the sandplayer as well as the therapist.
