Empowering, Anti-Oppressive Practice With Youth: Effectively Supporting Our Young People

This interactive presentation offers counseling practitioners theory and best practices to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the young people we serve. We will cover topics including; building authentic relationships based in mutual trust and respect, seeing, reflecting and bolstering young peoples’ strengths, understanding the impact of systems of oppression on young peoples’ lives, supporting young people to engage in social change and self-awareness as a practitioner. Participants will gain valuable insights and practical strategies to effectively engage with young clients in a way that honors their unique experiences, strengths, and perspectives.

Mind Games Untangled: Advanced Tactics for Overcoming OCD Compulsions

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is the fourth most common mental disorder, affecting approximately 2–3% of the population, with a prevalence of 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children. Given its significant impact, clinicians benefit from specialized training in advanced assessment and treatment skills to better support individuals with OCD and their families.

While behavioral compulsions are often more visible, many individuals report that mental compulsions can be more challenging to address. This course will examine why mental compulsions present unique clinical difficulties and outline evidence-based strategies for effectively targeting them.

Participants will gain both foundational and advanced competencies in the use of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), with an emphasis on interventions for mental compulsions. The course will further expand on advanced clinical skills for managing complex cases, including a review of atypical and less commonly encountered presentations of OCD.

Instructional methods will include didactic lecture, experiential exercises, case discussions, and interactive Q&A. The course content is applicable across the lifespan, with a primary focus on treatment for individuals ages eighteen and older.

(Trainer - Anna Morgan, LCSW is OCD and Anxiety Disorders specialist working in private practice. Initially CBT-trained clinician. She has been providing ERP-based treatment for many years. She has trained licensed clinicians and students, provided consultation, as well as designed ERP-based programs.)
