Going through an excruciatingly painful breakup is a common yet heart-wrenching experience that often leads people to seek mental health treatment. The end of some romantic relationships can be so difficult that clients become hyper-focused on their ex as if they were an addictive stimulus. For example, clients struggling through love-addicted breakups often report obsessively thinking about their ex, craving contact with them, feeling emotionally labile and distressed, and acting in harmful compulsive and impulsive ways. These symptoms can adversely impact day to day functioning, disrupting their overall quality of life.
When working with clients who can’t seem to get over their ex, conceptualizing and treating their symptoms through an addictive framework can not only be helpful in understanding your clients experience but can lead to better outcomes. This beginner-level Lunch and Learn webinar is a brief introduction to the latest research on romantic love and breakups as an addictive process. Specifically, you’ll learn to describe how and why falling in love can be addictive, and identify the primary symptoms of a love-addicted breakup. You’ll also learn a few basic strategies to use with clients to stop unwanted symptoms. For those who enjoy this webinar and are interested in a deeper dive into this topic, a longer course will be available later in the year.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory

Clinicians across a variety of settings are serving autistic individuals who are missing a correct diagnosis. Misunderstandings about the neurology of behavior and the meaning of the DSM-5 guidelines are active barriers to correct diagnosis and ultimately to better outcomes.
This one hour lunch and learn is designed for clinicians at an introductory or intermediate level who would like to improve their understanding of the DSM &#8211; 5 guidelines for autism diagnosis. Information will include information about the neurology of behavior and the meaning of such terms as &#8220;present in the developmental period&#8221; and &#8220;across multiple contexts.&#8221; The seven diagnostic criteria will not be covered in this session, but will be the focus of a subsequent 2 hour webinar.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

The sex addiction movement addresses fundamental human (and therefore clinical) issues: lust, desire, guilt, fantasy, decision-making, and the relationship of love and sex. The answers generated by this model, however, have important limitations—and for many people, they are disastrous, contradicting the best practices of psychotherapy and couples counseling. 
We will examine how patients’ impulsive or seemingly out-of-control sexual behavior may really involve:
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>medicating their depression, anxiety, or anhedonia</li>
<li>an arousal disorder or sexual dysfunction</li>
<li>denial of a disturbing sexual preference or orientation</li>
<li>fear of getting too close to a primary partner</li>
<li>inadequate attraction to or unspoken resentment toward a primary partner</li>
<li>attempting to remain in a low-sex or no-sex relationship</li>
<li>unresolved conflict with religious values</li>
</ul>
How can we best diagnose and treat patients with problematic sexual decision-making?
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

Seems as if hardly a day goes by anymore without AI being mentioned.  Is this simply a marketing ploy or is this a trend that is going to revolutionize mental health services?
The answer is Yes!
While much of what is noted is not in actuality AI, per se, the technology is advancing so rapidly that it is no longer a question of if, but rather when, we will all be using some form of AI driven services.
This beginning level webinar is designed to take some of the mystique out of AI and break down concepts for those who are not technically inclined.  We’ll begin by clarifying terminology such as AI, machine learning, big data, bots and algorithms and discussing how these are used in everyday applications.
Next, we will discuss how emerging technologies are being applied in the mental health fields to diagnose, predict, and treat a variety of conditions. Included will be a brief discussion of how AI driven tech can simplify professionals’ lives (hopefully) and enhance therapeutic outcomes.
Using real world examples and current applications, we’ll briefly dive into possibilities that will markedly change how mental health services are delivered.
For those interested in learning more, the accompanying course, to be introduced in the spring, will go more in depth into ethical concerns, protentional limitations and misuse.  More thorough information will be provided on how therapists can prepare for, discern, and implement in their practices some of the technology that currently exists.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
