Professional Workshops/Seminars/Program Development

Our seminars can be presented within your agency or organization in staff education programs, in-services and as a part of advanced trainings. The following is a selection of past seminars.

1. Understanding Sexual Addiction and Treatment: Assessment, Diagnosis, Treatment and Referral for Addictive Sexual Disorders
Often unidentified, untreated or misdiagnosed, those suffering with Sexual Addiction experience life changing consequences such as: loss of primary relationships, sexual arrest, sexual diseases/unsafe sex, constant relapse in other addictions and a legacy of low self esteem, sexual shame and secrecy.

Our workshop programs are individually designed to meet the needs of your organization. Some examples are curriculums we have created to help an expanding chemical addition program become more familiar with sexual addiction treatment. Another workshop focused on providing sensitivity training when a national corporation struggled with professional boundary problems.
