How does it work? Is it confusing to the participants? Is it sustainable? This workshop will offer an introduction to open adoption and adoption ethics. As clinicians, there are many points at which having awareness about open adoption will be useful. Participants in this day-long workshop will have an opportunity to imagine themselves inhabiting a position within the adoption constellation and to explore what questions or issues are important to them from that vantage point. Using the Open Adoption Bloggers website as home base, we will examine the lived (and blogged) experience of people in open adoptions in their own words. Based on participant needs and interests, specific issues that arise in open adoption will also be addressed, for instance transracial adoption, same sex partner adoption, single parent adoption, adoption ethics, desires for different levels or types of openness within open adoptions, open adoption and social media, and post-placement grief.

Referencing recent research in neurobiology, M.E.T.A. focuses on understanding the different kinds of woundedness clients present, and the specific interventions for those wounds. The Training then offers an immersion course in the Hakomi Method of Body-Centered Psychotherapy. With careful attention to working relationship, the Method utilizes the client's present somatic experience as a rapid and experiential route to unconscious material. Originated by Ron Kurtz and elaborated by subsequent Trainers, the Hakomi Method, is known for its elegant and integrated use of mindfulness, the psychology of the body, and non-violence in psychotherapy. This module includes all three, both as curriculum and as the heart of the training experience itself.

It is not an endorsement. Crisis Intervention Techniques for Play Therapists: Creating Hope and Resolve in Troubled Times with Anne Stewart, PhD Friday, September 7 9 am to 4 pm Gregory Forum, Clackamas Community College 6 hours of CEUs for LPC, LMFT, and LCSW ORAPT is an APT-approved provider (#99-054) LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1). Learn and practice specific culturally sensitive play therapy techniques that help victims become survivors. 2). Appreciate usefulness of attachment and resilience for guiding play therapy interventions. 3). Recognize crisis involving both threats and decisive moments. 4). Name four dimensions of resilience for selecting play therapy interventions. 5). Describe at least 10 play therapy techniques to use with children, families or groups. When everyday crises or traumatic events occur, such as a developmental challenges, losses, natural disasters or acts of violence, victims are left with a sense of loss, sorrow, and disbelief. However, immediately following such an event, victims become survivors and it is important to help promote healthy attachment and resilience. The approach not only values attachment and resilience, but also acknowledges the possibility of positive change, or posttraumatic growth; a result of the struggle associated with the crisis or event. The workshop will focus on a play-based crisis intervention model to use with children and families in times of crisis. The interventions are beneficial in helping children and families to normalize reactions, generate helpful coping behaviors and thoughts, modify misattributions and cognitive distortions, increase self-soothing, decrease isolation and withdrawal, reinforce the ability to seek helpful social support, and to leave children and families with a sense of hope. Anne Stewart is Professor of Graduate Psychology at James Madison University. She has worked to promote the resilience of children and families in projects throughout the world, including Sri Lanka and India following the massive tsunami. Dr. Stewart has designed and implemented grant-funded projects addressing the psychosocial problems of landmines in Jordan, Bosnia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Mozambique. In the United States, she has served as a consultant and service provider after Hurricane Katrina, the 9/11 attacks, the Virginia Tech University shootings, and other catastrophic events. Her books include "Becoming a Community Counselor" and "Thriving! A Manual for Students in the Helping Professions." She is the founder and president of the Virginia Play Therapy Association and the recipient of the Association for Play Therapy "Distinguished Service" Award, the James Madison University "All Together One" Award, the College Award for Distinguished Service, and the Virginia Counselor's Association "Humanitarian and Caring Person" Award.
