Expat or Immigrant? Not Exactly the Same Thing
Presenter: Roberta Neault, PhD, CCC, RRP, GCDF-i, CCDP
Language:  English
Location:   Online
Cost:   $45 CCPA members | $55 non members *Plus applicable taxes
# of CECs:   1

Webinar Description:

It’s a common misperception in Canada that anybody working here who is “from away” is an immigrant. Interestingly, however, we don’t tend to think of Canadians working abroad as having emigrated – rather, we consider them as expatriates (i.e., part of the global workforce, engaged in an international career). In fact, many of your clients, who appear at first glance to be immigrants, may actually be global careerists(i.e., expatriates from their home countries, temporarily in Canada for work).

This distinction is important for counsellors as the needs and expectations of international workers can be significantly different from those of immigrants. Learn from the presenter’s extensive experience with clients in international/global careers and challenge your assumptions. By distinguishing between immigrants and expatriates, you’ll be better equipped to meet the unique needs of clients from each of these groups.

Presenter: Jocelyne Lebel
Language: French
Location:   Online
Cost:   $45 CCPA members | $55 non members *Plus applicable taxes
# of CECs:   1

Webinar Description:

Dans les organismes d’employabilité, il arrive que l’on doive intervenir auprès de personnes ayant des problèmes de santé mentale. Pourtant habitués à travailler avec des individus de tous les milieux et de tous les genres, les intervenants/tes peuvent se sentir incompétents, impuissants à aider et mal à l’aise vis-à–vis ces personnes qui présentent des difficultés particulières. Quelle est la réalité actuelle entourant les gens aux prises avec des problèmes de santé mentale ? Y a-t-il de bonnes ou de mauvaises manières d’aider ces personnes ? Jusqu’à quel point pouvons-nous intervenir ?  Cette conférence vise à aider les intervenants à mieux comprendre les problématiques entourant la santé mentale et adapter leur intervention avec les personnes aux prises avec des souffrances psychiques.

 Presenter: Jocelyne Lebel

Jocelyne cumule près de vingt années d’expérience dans le développement de carrière et le soutien aux petites entreprises.

They Need Us Too!  Counselling Children and Teens with Learning Disabilities, Part 1 and 2
Presenter: Shirley Soleil, B.A., M. Div., M. Ed.
Language:  English
Location:   Online
Cost:   $45 CCPA members | $55 non members *Plus applicable taxes
# of CECs:   1 per part

Webinar Description:

Part 1: The first session focuses on specific challenges to counselling children and teens with Learning Disabilities. Self Esteem, Peer Pressure/Acceptance, Feelings of Failure/Inadequacies, and Self Disclosure cause more challenges for young people with LD(s) since they are not going to out grow the LD(s). Acceptance of their LD(s) is a long process for many and without it life continues to be lived in chaos. 

Part 2: The second session deals with how to assist parents in understanding how Learning Disabilities affect the child. For example, it is the LD(S), not the child who is chronically late, disorganized, etc. It determines the way the parents attend to the child, either as a defiant, rebellious child who needs punishment/discipline or a child who needs help in developing coping strategies for living with the LD(s). Parents often blame themselves for the LD(s) or struggle with needing outside help. They often need help in the grieving process, grief for the loss of dreams/hopes as well as loss of what the healthy child looks like.

Presenter: Shirley Soleil

Shirley Soleil lives and works in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.  Besides being a counsellor, she is a tutor, Consultant, facilitator, author and advocates for those with disabilities, suffering abuse, poverty etc.  She is a Canadian Certified Counsellor.  Her slogan is: “Helping others help themselves”.  Although Shirley works with children, teens, individuals, couples and families, her main interest is counseling people with chronic illnesses and disabilities.

Retirement Readiness: Preparing to Become “Semi-Leisured”
Presenter: Roberta Neault, PhD, CCC, RRP, GCDF-i, CCDP
Language:  English
Location:   Online
Cost:   $45 CCPA members | $55 non members *Plus applicable taxes
# of CECs:   1

Webinar Description:

Retirement is eagerly anticipated by some and a focus of anxiety for others. As with any major life transition, some clients seek pre-retirement counselling for support exploring opportunities, setting goals, making decisions, restructuring relationships, and preparing for the transition process. Retirement concerns include financial readiness, health and wellbeing, relocation, whether or not to return to work, and, ironically time management (most of the newly retired can’t figure out how they had time to work!). Through humorous case examples drawn from extensive experience facilitating pre-retirement workshops over the past 16 years, you’ll leave this webinar with tips and strategies for supporting your clients as they contemplate retirement.

Involuntary job loss (being laid off or fired) is one of the highest-rated stressors in life. Career counsellors, of course, need to understand the process from job loss to re-employment.

# of CECs:   1 per part

Webinar Description:

Part 1: Everyday Leadership

There are many skills that easily transfer from other leadership experiences as you take on the role of clinical supervision. Use this webinar to reflect on the skills you have, those you need to develop, and even roles and responsibilities that it may be best to delegate.

Part 2: Leadership Lessons for Transformational Times

It can be particularly challenging to lead during times of significant change and transition. As our field moves more toward regulation, funding priorities continue to shift, and counsellors in entry-level positions are increasingly faced with clients who have significant challenges, clinical supervisors may feel that their leadership competencies have been stretched beyond capacity. Based on the book, Leadership Lessons for Transformational Times, this webinar will introduce 10 lessons to help keep leaders engaged and on track.

Moving from Scare City to Prosperity
Presenter: Dawn Brown, M.Ed Counselling
Language:  English
Location:   Online
Cost:   $45 CCPA members | $55 non members *Plus applicable taxes
# of CECs:  1

Webinar Description:

The place called Scare City is confining. It kills relationships in their infancy, dissolves dreams, and strangles initiative. It causes us to grab onto what may not be good for us and to hang onto what no longer serves our best interests. Scarcity isn't just about money. It can show up in our relationship with ourselves and others or in the workplace.

This presentation looks at the many facets of scarcity and the role our perceptions play in creating them. Much of the pain in our lives comes from our way of thinking, our fear around what we interpret as not having enough or being enough. Whether we call it fear of failure, success, commitment, abundance, intimacy, having, not having... it still comes down to fear.

There are signposts along the way to guide and support us as we journey from scarcity. Learning to recognize them is a personal challenge for each of us. Join me for an hour of insights and strategies as we make the journey leading to prosperity.

Presenter: Dawn Brown

Dawn Brown, M.Ed. (counselling), is a psychotherapist specializing in relationship and life transitions. An international speaker and published author, she helps others navigate through and thrive in times of uncertainty and change. She is the recipient of the 2006 YMCA-YWCA Women of Distinction Award in the Learning for Life category.

Incorporating Spirituality in Counselling Practice: Issues & Challenges, Part 1 & 2
Presenter: Doreen Westera, MscN, MEd
Language:  English
Location:   Online
Cost:   $45 CCPA members | $55 non members *Plus applicable taxes
# of CECs:   1 per ‘part'

Webinar Description :
It is important that counsellors incorporate sprituality into their practice in order to maintain a holistic approach  to client care. At times, a spiritual issue is key in a client's life - if this is not recognized, then counselling may not be as effective as it might be. Therefore, counsellors should be aware of the variety of definitions of spirituality, the various expressions of spirituality, how to complete a spiritual assessment and various spiritual interventions which can be employed in the counselling process. Awareness of one's own spirituality is paramount.
This Webinar discussion will discuss the above topics, drawing forth examples from the presenter's counselling experience. Issues and challenges inherent in incorporating spirituality into counselling practice will be presented, using the presenter's own counselling experience to illustrate these.

Presenter : Doreen Westera
Doreen is currently teaching courses in counselling and the spiritual dimension of nursing practice at Memorial University.  She also has a part-time counselling practice at a local community agency.  Doreen has presented papers and workshops related to this topic at national and international workshops, both in the nursing and counselling fields.

Webinar Description:

Students with Autism should have the opportunity to pursue post secondary education along with their peers. If they can be admitted to colleges and universities they should be able to access higher education to fulfill their potential and their dreams.  For many students capable of being admitted to post secondary education, barriers remain in the areas of social interaction, residence life, peer relationships and getting and maintaining employment. Too many people on the spectrum are living under meagre circumstances due to a lack of education and social skills. Pursuing a higher education is peer appropriate and gives way to a better standard of living. Learn how we can support students with Autism in pursuing their unique goals and dreams at the post secondary level.

Counselling People with Invisible Disabilities
Presenter: Shirley Soleil, B. A., M. Div., M. Ed
Language:  English
Location:   Online
Cost:   $45 CCPA members | $55 non members *Plus applicable taxes
# of CECs:   1

Webinar Description :
 Invisible Disabilities include illnesses not visible to the naked eye and those not diagnosed by objective tests. Both groups experience negative responses from family, friends and coworkers. It is difficult to accept how a person can move from health to illness without an obvious physical change.  What they need is a listening ear, a validating voice and a compassionate heart as they process lifestyle changes, broken relationships, lost hopes and dreams and discover possibilities for a future full of positives.

In the role of counsellor you can offer these elements as you assist the client in addressing the physical and emotional/psychological needs. This Webinar presents: the definition of invisible disability, issues facing the client, understanding of the medical and/or legal process the client moves through and practical suggestions in assisting these clients.

Presenter : Shirley Soleil
Shirley lives and works in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.  She has several invisible illnesses.  Besides being a counsellor, she is also a tutor and author.  She has written articles on the subject of invisible disabilities, some of which were published in the Private Practitioners Newsletter.  Although she works with children, teens, individuals, couples and families, her main interest is counselling people with chronic illnesses and disabilities.

Adoption is a lifelong, intergenerational process that unites birth families, adoptees, and adoptive families forever.  Adoption is not a single event, but a complex lifelong process.  Adoption is not a simplistic happy, "everybody wins" situation, as it tends to be portrayed in our culture.  Tremendous blessings can be experienced by all the participants in adoption, but we must never forget that those blessings are born of loss.  Many people have misconceptions about the adoption community.  This interactive workshop will debunk these myths and close the gap on misconceptions, by increasing awareness of the realities for those working with the adoption population.

Presenter : Christine Gatzke
Christine Gatzke is an international speaker and a clinical psychotherapist, in private practice, specializing in adoption, foster care, attachment issues, women's health, and grief and loss.  Among various certifications she possesses, Christine is a certified adoption, adoption reunion and foster care counsellor.

The Career Legacy Circle: For an Effective Work-Life Balance & Successful Knowledge Transmissions (repeat)
Presenter: Diane Doyon,  M.A
Language:  English
Location:   Online
Cost:   $45 CCPA members | $55 non members *Plus applicable taxes
# of CECs:   1 per ‘part'

Webinar Description :

Birth-rate fall and longevity increase; two reasons calling for a new understanding of aging workers and for new counselling practices. These workers are the keystones of knowledge creation/conservation/transmission. But, nearly half of the retirees say that taking a retreat was not a successful experience for them or for their organization. Rituals are needed. So we developed the Career Legacy Circle; a small group approach (6 sessions) bringing together 8-12 people in the final stage of their active working life to share the way they want to complete this stage. In this counselling process, a vade mecum  is used. This program aims to develop two bodies of knowledge: knowing to stay and knowing to leave, which imply, among other things, updating one's work-life balance (preventing burn out and obsolescence) and wrapping up commitments and transmitting one's professional legacy via mentoring, testimony, procedure manual, new mandate in or outside the organization, etc.

Presenter : Diane Doyon

Diane DOYON holds a Master in Career Counseling and is experienced in Human Resources Management.  Her expertise in mentoring programs has driven her to design the Career Legacy Circle concept, research and practice. She facilitates Work-Life management groups and  is in charge of the international training program for CLC facilitators.

Career-flow: A Hope-Centered Approach, Part 1

# of CECs:   1

Webinar Description:

Especially during transformational and chaotic times, clients are looking for career support from their counsellors. Career Flow is a new model, grounded in hope, that acknowledges that not all times in our careers will be smooth sailing. Through stages of Self-Reflection, Self-Clarity, Visioning, Goal Setting/Planning, and Implementing/Adapting, use of the Career Flow model helps facilitate optimal career flow but also equips us to navigate stagnant water career periods (times of feeling stuck), still water (times to pause and reflect), white water (the crazy, busy, challenging times), and flow interrupted (times when plans are temporarily or permanently set aside). Drs. Spencer Niles, Norman Amundson, and Roberta Neault co-authored a career workbook using this model; join Roberta for a lively and engaging look at Career Flow and leave with practical activities that you can immediately apply.

Presenter: Roberta Neault

The Myth of Closure, part 1 & 2

# of CECs:   1

Webinar Description:

Since Kubler-Ross's seminal work, closure has been held up as the ultimate goal for successful grief resolution. In this interactive webinar, we will explore why linear concepts like closure and acceptance do not serve the client engaged in healthy grief work. In fact, they may be barriers to successful grief resolution. We'll explore who is served by these concepts and how 'transformation' is a more apt term to describe the movement of grief in a society that may value outcome over process. Counselling strategies (including meaning- making approaches) will be presented as an alternative to closure. In addition, the transformative nature of grief will be examined.

Presenter: Sue Smiley

Sue has a Master's degree in Counselling specializing in loss and grief. She is a sought after consultant and shares her knowledge, compassion and sense of humour in local and provincial settings. She is a frequent contributor to CBC radio, speaking nationally on a variety of grief related topics.

Webinar Description :

The ethical and legal issues of dual relationships have caused much controversy over the years.  Many articles and books have examined the ethical aspects of various dual relationships and other boundaries.  Boundary dilemmas and the perameters of a relationship often catch us off guard and unprepared.  Much attention has been focused on sexual intimacies between therapist and client but dual relationships can involve combining the role of therapist with another professional relationship (such as supervisor, employer) or a personal relationship (such as friend or relative).  These various boundary issues and the potential for harm will be explored during the webinar.

Exceptional Possibilities: Multiplying Client Exceptions Through Narrative Meaning-Making
Presenter:  David Paré, Ph.D.
Language:  English
Cost:  $45 CCPA members | $55 non members *Plus applicable taxes 
# of CECs:   1

Webinar Description: 
The “exception”—an instance when the problem is absent—is the cornerstone of Brief Solution Focused practice, a doorway into new realms of possibility where the problem is absent. This webinar explores how exceptions can be multiplied by joining clients in what  Anthropologist Clifford Geertz called “thick description”.  These practices are drawn from narrative therapy, which focuses on action, rather than behaviour—the difference being that actions are seen as expressions of agency, purposes, values, and intentions.  These practices go beyond “do more of what works” to rich story development and the generation of multiple exceptions, the basis for future action.

Le potentiel des groupes au service du counseling
Presenter: Jacques Limoges
Language: French
Cost:  $45 CCPA members | $55 non members *Plus applicable taxes 
# of CECs:   1

Webinar Description: 

Pour bien cerner le potentiel des groupes, nous considérerons trois variables bipolarisés et au sens large et génériques des termes : responsable c. membres ; contenu c. dynamique ; objectivité c. subjectivité. Pour y parvenir, il y a lieu d'établir l'objet principal d'apprentissage visé par un groupe. Cet objet est-il surtout extrapersonnel (savoir, objectivité, donc appelant une fonction importante pour le responsable), intrapersonnel (savoir-être, subjectivité, donc requérant un investissement important des deux parties) ou interpersonnel  (savoir-faire, donc demandant un investissement significatif de tous les membres) ? Quelque soit le nombre de participants, l'extrapersonnel justifie une approche grand groupe, l'intrapersonnel une approche moyen groupe et l'interpersonnel une approche petit groupe. À cause des ses finalités impliquant généralement des relations explicites entre le responsable et les membres et entre les membres entre-eux quant à l'objet visé, le counseling fait surtout appelle au petit groupe. Conséquemment, la seconde partie de ce webinaire s'attardera à cette approche en abordant les rôles et besoins des membres, les techniques d'animation du responsable et les phases qui en découlent. Enfin, après avoir souligné le potentiel d'entraide inhérent à tout petit groupe et après avoir présenté la technique du Double-axe, nous verrons la pertinence du petit groupe par rapport aux six occasions carriérologiques, en particulier par rapport à l'acquisition des dimensions de l'insertion socioprofessionnelle telles que définies dans le modèle Trèfle chanceux.

Presenter:  Jacques Limoges

Jacques Limoges est associé à l'Université de Sherbrooke depuis plus de 35 ans.
