SUMMARY:Free Webinar: Creating Earned Secure Attachment with Somatic Tools
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by: Ramona Ndlovu\, LMFT\, and Rebecca Bromberg\, Somatic Coach\, Embodiyou \nDate: Wednesday\, October 14\, 2026\nCost: Free\nLocation: Virtual/Zoom\nCE Hours: 1 CE Hour for NBCC\, PA SW\, LPC\, LMFT\, and Psychologists\, PA SW\, LPC\, LMFT\, and Psychologists\, PA SW\, LPC\, LMFT\, and Psychologists\, PA SW\, LPC\, LMFT\, and Psychologists \nAbout the Workshop\nMany clients understand their attachment patterns intellectually\, yet still find themselves repeating the same anxiety\, avoidance\, shutdown\, or relational patterns. This experiential workshop introduces therapists to a trauma-informed\, somatic framework for helping clients move beyond insight and begin developing earned secure attachment as an embodied experience. Participants will explore how developmental trauma can result in unmet needs\, nervous-system patterns\, and relational experiences that contribute to insecure attachment and learn practical body-based tools for supporting regulation\, integration\, and a stronger internal sense of security. Through guided experiential practices\, therapists will learn tools they can begin integrating into clinical work while also experiencing how somatic approaches can support their own capacity and presence with clients. \nLearning Objectives\n\nExplain to clients the three elements of creating Earned Secure Attachment \nDescribe how somatic approaches support clients in building earned secure attachment\nImplement 3 somatic tools in sessions with their clients to promote earned secure attachment\n\n \nAbout the Facilitators\nRamona Ndlovu\n\nRamona is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#MF001372)\, and she loves guiding people through somatic inquiry and expressive arts practices that invite deeper connection to Spirit\, self-knowledge\, and self-acceptance.

SUMMARY:Free Webinar: The Green Light Problem with A. Michael Blanche
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by: A. Michael Blanche\, MSS\, LCSW\nDate: Wednesday\, September 30\, 2026\nCost: Free\nLocation: Virtual/Zoom\nCE Hours: 1 CE Hour for NBCC\, PA SW\, LPC\, LMFT\, and Psychologists\, PA SW\, LPC\, LMFT\, and Psychologists\, PA SW\, LPC\, LMFT\, and Psychologists\, PA SW\, LPC\, LMFT\, and Psychologists \nAbout the Workshop\nCannabis use and cultural attitudes toward it have shifted dramatically over the past decade\, while public understanding of its psychiatric risks has not kept pace. National survey data show that the percentage of high school seniors who view regular marijuana use as risky has declined significantly over the past two decades\, even as the potency of available cannabis products has risen several-fold and clinical evidence linking high-potency\, high-frequency use to psychotic disorders has strengthened. In Pennsylvania specifically\, the medical cannabis program has grown from zero dispensaries in 2016 to a market of 190+ licensed dispensaries generating billions in annual sales\, alongside an unregulated retail layer of hemp-derived intoxicants sold without age verification in many settings. This rapid commercialization has outpaced public health messaging\, parental awareness\, and — in many cases — clinicians’ own working knowledge of current risk data. \nMental health therapists and trauma specialists are increasingly encountering clients\, particularly adolescents and young adults\, whose cannabis use is minimized by themselves\, their families\, or the surrounding culture as low-risk or medically sanctioned. At the same time\, emerging clinical and epidemiological research points to a measurable rise in cannabis-induced psychosis presentations in emergency departments and psychiatric units\, particularly among daily users of high-potency products. Without current\, evidence-based training\, clinicians risk either overlooking a significant and growing risk factor in their caseloads or relying on outdated\, moralized framing that undermines therapeutic rapport. This course addresses that gap directly. \nThis session presents a fact-based examination of the misinformation and cultural minimization shaping how cannabis is understood today\, with a clinical focus on cannabis-induced psychosis: its presentation\, its distinction from primary psychotic disorders\, its long-term diagnostic significance\, and the population-level trends driving its rise. The course introduces a three-part framework — the erosion of parental disapproval\, the expansion of accessibility\, and the loss of perceived consequence — to help clinicians understand why risk perception has shifted\, using Pennsylvania’s cannabis commercialization timeline as a concrete case study. Participants will review current peer-reviewed research on THC potency trends\, psychosis risk ratios\, and psychiatric hospitalization data\, and will leave with a practical framework for clinical assessment\, psychoeducation\, and referral. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify at least three common cultural and clinical misconceptions about cannabis that minimize its psychiatric risk\, and explain the evidence that contradicts them.\nDescribe the clinical presentation of cannabis-induced psychosis (CIP)\, including onset patterns\, high-risk populations\, and its distinction from primary psychotic disorders.\nExplain the three eroded deterrents (parental consent/disapproval\, restricted accessibility\, perceived consequence) and how their loss has changed risk exposure for adolescents and young adults.\nApply a clinical framework for assessing cannabis use\, potency exposure\, and psychosis risk in session\, including when to refer for higher levels of care.\n\n \nAbout the Facilitator\nA. Michale Blanche\, MSS\, LCSW\, Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer of ETHOS Treatment LLC \n\n\n\n\n\nLicensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of direct clinical experience supporting individuals and families affected by addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Approach is grounded in Motivational Interviewing\, Cognitive Behavioral\, and solution-focused methods\, informed by the traditional 12-Step model alongside current\, evidence-based treatment. Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer of ETHOS Treatment LLC\, an outpatient behavioral health provider serving the greater Philadelphia area. Recipient of the Richard J. Caron Award of Excellence (2024) and the Addiction Professional of the Year Award\, Greater Philadelphia Area (2006).

SUMMARY:Free Webinar - Dissociation-Responsive Care: A Practical Clinical Framework for Safer Trauma Treatment

Dissociation-Responsive Care (DRC) equips clinicians with a practical framework to recognize\, respect\, and respond to dissociation as an adaptive survival system—without requiring trauma disclosure or narrative processing. \nThis training shifts clinicians from trauma awareness to dissociative responsiveness\, providing immediately usable safeguards for everyday clinical practice. \n \nLearning Objectives\n\n1. Identify dissociation as a survival-based response that may be invisible \n2. Apply Universal Dissociative Precautions across clinical settings \n3. Modify common grounding and mindfulness tools safely \n4. Respond to dissociation without requiring trauma narrative \n5.
