In this 3-hr webinar, Dr. David Jobes will highlight key evidence-based approached for effective assessment, management, and treatment of suicidal risk with an appreciation of ethical issues and risk management. The presentation will explore some of the relevant history that shapes contemporary clinical suicidology as well as key models that shape our understanding of suicidality. The primary focus will be on clinical approaches to screening and assessment, interventions for acute stabilization, and treatments of what makes a patient suicidal based on randomized controlled trials. Finally, various ethical considerations and how to decrease exposure to malpractice liability will be discussed.

Clients rarely present to psychotherapy saying, “I think I have a traumatic brain injury.” More often, they describe brain fog, slowed thinking, poor concentration, emotional reactivity, fatigue, sleep disruption, anxiety, depression, or difficulty functioning at work, school, or home. Dr. Rebecca Steele will help psychologists recognize when these common mental health complaints may warrant closer attention to concussion or TBI history, especially when symptoms persist, fluctuate, or do not fully respond to standard psychological intervention. Attendees will review post-concussion symptom patterns, key history questions, differential considerations, and practical indicators for referral, assessment, psychoeducation, and interdisciplinary care. Emphasis will be placed on helping psychologists reduce misattribution, identify clinically relevant brain injury factors, and develop more accurate formulations for clients presenting with cognitive and emotional concerns.

Contemplative practices such as mindfulness, compassion meditation, breath awareness, yoga nidra, and embodied presence are increasingly used in psychotherapy to support emotional regulation, attentional flexibility, and self-awareness. Dr. Sally Nazari will review current neuroscience related to contemplative practice, including its relevance to stress physiology, emotion regulation, interoception, and therapeutic presence. Participants will explore how contemplative practices can be ethically and clinically integrated into psychotherapy while remaining responsive to client culture, trauma history, readiness, and individual meaning systems. The presentation will also address clinical cautions, including spiritual bypassing, dissociation, overactivation, and the importance of pacing practices according to nervous system capacity. Through research-informed discussion and applied examples, clinicians will learn practical ways to use contemplative approaches to support psychological flexibility, embodied regulation, and whole-person care.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming the norm for clinical psychologists. Despite expansion, literature has highlighted variable preparation among practitioners for the use of AI in clinical services, creating potential issues for an ethical, legal, safe, and evidence-informed practice. This 3-hr webinar is designed to provide clinical psychologists with an introductory discussion of AI use, ethics, and legal considerations. Uses, benefits, limitations, competencies, and ethical/legal logistics (e.g., informed consent) will be outlined.

Chronic pain is often maintained not only by physical symptoms, but also by fear, hypervigilance, avoidance, and learned neural pathways within the brain and nervous system. This training provides an introduction to Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and its use in treating chronic and neuroplastic pain. Participants will learn practical clinical strategies including pain neuroscience education, cognitive reframing, somatic tracking, and therapist scripting to help clients develop a greater sense of safety within their bodies and reinterpret pain sensations differently. Case examples will demonstrate how these interventions can be applied in everyday practice. Participants will leave with concrete, immediately applicable tools to support clients in reducing pain-related fear and improving daily functioning.

Canadian Register Webinar: This webinar will provide a guide for clinicians working with clients experiencing pregnancy loss. The session will begin by reviewing important facts and common misconceptions about pregnancy loss that are critical for clinicians treating this population to be familiar with. The latter half of the session will focus on specific clinical tools and techniques to support clients in grieving and healing from pregnancy loss.

Biased language in clinical documentation and psychological reports can lead to members of minoritized and underrepresented groups being unduly pathologized or disparagingly judged, which can impede the accuracy and objectivity in our work. Biased wording in clinical documentation and psychological reports can also suggest a preference for certain racial, religious, or heterosexual majority groups as well as reinforce gender stereotypes. Such bias can render clinical work susceptible to erroneous interpretations on the part of the writer and reader of psychological reports. This webinar highlights common patterns of biased language in clinical work and offers strategies for avoiding such bias by replacing it with unbiased, neutral phrasing.

This session will be presented in Spanish. Esta sesión será presentada en español.

This 3-hr webinar prepares clinicians to deliver high-quality telepsychology in a rapidly evolving clinical landscape. Moving beyond foundational telehealth competencies, the session focuses on maintaining clinical depth, strengthening assessment, and adapting to emerging patient behaviors, including self-directed treatments, digital subcultures, and sociopolitical stressors. Participants will learn practical strategies to enhance therapeutic presence, navigate common telehealth challenges, and determine when in-person or higher levels of care are warranted. The webinar also addresses equity considerations, including privacy, safety, and access across diverse patient populations. Emphasis is placed on concrete language, decision-making frameworks, and immediately applicable clinical tools.

Asexual adults have distinct cultural and clinical considerations that shape their mental health needs and responses to psychological interventions. This webinar draws on emerging empirical research and clinical practice recommendations to provide a framework for psychologists to integrate cultural competence into assessment and treatment with asexual clients. Participants will learn evidence-informed strategies for affirming asexual identities, addressing clinician assumptions, and tailoring interventions to support client autonomy and well-being. Clinical examples and practical recommendations for reflective practice and reducing bias will be included. The webinar aims to equip clinicians with skills to create more inclusive, culturally responsive care for asexual individuals across therapeutic contexts.
