Annual Round Up
New Practices in Right Brain Psychotherapy
with Dr. Allan Schore
Saturday, December 11, 2021
10:00 am – 1:30 pm PDT
TITLE: Analyzing and Understanding Social Justice & Diversity in the Workplace
Presented by Dr. Ada Sinacore, Ph.D., Director of the Social Justice and Diversity Research Lab, President of the Canadian Psychological Association
Website: www.mcgill.ca/socialjustice
DESCRIPTION
Social justice and diversity are a central part of the current discourses surrounding equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). Social justice processes address systems and structures of discrimination and exclusion at the organizational and employee levels. This workshop will address the systemic and structural barriers that result in workplace discrimination. Social justice theories will be used to analyze how to address these barriers in order to understand the ways in which they can be deconstructed. Participants will be given a model by which they can analyze these barriers in their own workplaces and/or in the work with their clientele. The goal of the workshop is for participants to gain an understanding how social justice and diversity can be applied at the organizational and individual levels to increase equity, diversity and inclusion while simultaneously reducing systemic and structural barriers.
Date & Time: Friday, November 26th from 12 pm EST to 2 PM EST

For the past twenty years, Amanda Neilson has provided counselling to people struggling with problematic substance use, and substance use disorders. In partnership with Rideauwood Addiction and Family Services and Algonquin College, Amanda developed and implemented the Umbrella Project, a harm reduction framework for post-secondary institutions. She also has the pleasure of teaching part-time at Algonquin College in the Social Service Worker program. Throughout her career, Amanda has provided training for professionals and community members as well as speaking at several different conferences such as AMHO, CCSA, CACUSS. Fourteen years after finishing her Bachelor degree in Social Work at Carleton University, Amanda completed her Masters in Social Work at the University of Victoria in 2020. She recently began a private practice providing therapy and training, specialized in problematic substance use and substance use disorders from a trauma informed lens.
Our understanding of the problem determines our solutions. When we believe that drug use is the problem, solutions revolve around stopping the use. When we believe that problematic substance use and substance use disorders are a natural and normal response to chronic stress and trauma, we focus on helping the person heal. This engaging and informative workshop focuses on expanding participants’ understanding of problematic substance use and addiction through a trauma informed lens. By including the impact of trauma in the current biopsychosocial model, participants will be able to broaden their intervention strategies and utilize a compassionate framework. Drawing from the works of Dr. Gabor Mate, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, as well as Amanda’s 20 years of experience within the addiction field, this workshop invites participants to share and grow their knowledge to more effectively support clients with substance use issues.

What is EFT?
EFT is a well-known humanistic approach to psychotherapy formulated in the 1980’s and developed in tandem with the science of adult attachment, a profound developmental theory of personality and intimate relationships. This science has expanded our understanding of individual dysfunction and health as well as the nature of love relationships and family bonds. Attachment views human beings as innately relational, social and wired for intimate bonding with others. The EFT model prioritizes emotion and emotional regulation as the core organizing agents in individual experience and key relationship interactions.
EFT is best known as a cutting edge, tested and proven couple intervention, but it is also used to address individual depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress (EFIT – Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy) and to repair family bonds (EFFT – Emotionally Focused Family Therapy). This model operationalizes the principles of attachment science using non- pathologizing experiential and relational systems techniques to focus on and change core organizing factors in both the self and key relationships.

11th Biennial International Meaning Conference Announcement
The first global Mental Health Summit will be held at the 11th Biennial International Meaning Conference virtually August 6–8, 2021. This conference will be a gamechanger in our battle with the Coronavirus and pandemic fatigue. The world’s leading psychologists and physicians will wrestle with innovative ways of meeting health care needs.
The conference theme is From Vulnerability to Resilience and Wellbeing during the Pandemic: Advances in Existential Positive psychology (PP2.0). We believe that the biggest breakthrough in mental health can result from a mental shift—from seeking happiness to serving the common good, from avoiding the horrors of life to confronting inescapable pains with courage, optimism, and transformative coping.
Keynote speakers include such influencers as Darcia Narvaez, Robert Emmons, Todd Kashdan, Scott Barry Kaufman, Tim Lomas, Robert Neimeyer, Kirk Schneider, Louis Hoffman, Scott Churchill, Blaine Fowers, Farooq Naeem, Christina Becker, and Paul Wong.

In addition, our Meaning Conference features Qi Gong Master Mitch Hall, award winning singer Francine Honey, flamenco flautist and guitar duo Lara Wong & Melón Jiménez, and film/TV producer and pianist Matt Weisberg.

Presented by Caitlin Sigg, MA, PhD Candidate, RP

Caitlin has worked in counselling and psychotherapy with a variety of clients for different presenting concerns over the past several years.

The goal and anticipated outcome of this presentation is to assist participants in understanding how grief in response to loss is a universal experience, yet individuals experience the grieving process in their own unique ways. This presentation also highlights how there are various types of loss that can cause people to grieve and they are not simply limited to death. Grief can lead to both physical and emotional symptoms, as well as spiritual insights and confusion. While grief is a natural and inevitable part of life, it is also one of the most neglected and misunderstood experiences by the bereaved, family and friends alike.
This presentation seeks to assist participants in addressing the following objectives: understanding the different types of grief and loss; recognizing factors and symptoms related to grief and loss; exploring ways to ‘embrace grief’ and the potential benefits of ‘giving voice to loss’; learning more about tools for support and healing both clinically and personally. This presentation will also provide participants an opportunity to distinguish professional disparities and practical resources to increase competence.
Presented by Rick Goodwin, MSW, RSW
Rick Goodwin is the founder and Clinical Services Director of Men & Healing: Psychotherapy for Men in Ottawa. For nearly 20 years, he was the Executive Director of The Men’s Project, which he co-founded. Rick received his Master’s of Social Work in 1985. Since then, he has trained clinically in a variety of models, focusing primarily on engagement in trauma recovery, ending men’s violence, and human sexuality. Rick has won a variety of awards for service excellence over his career and was named a CAMH National Recipient in 2017.
The notion of emotional integrity is both a core value in the psychotherapy field, as well as a core outcome. However, there are a variety of roadblocks to emotional integrity, apart from fundamental aspects of masculinity that may block true interpersonal connection. Past trauma, emotional dysregulation, affective numbing, and habitual over-expression of anger and rage can all play a part. Whether the modality is group or individual services, this core need of wanting to “be heard’ is vital for all clients (not just males). Based on 20 years of providing the Emotional Integrity group program at Men & Healing, this workshop provides clinicians with a roadmap with respect to the psycho-social needs of their clients.
Presented by Stephanie Yamin, PhD, C.Psych. and Cynthia Bilodeau, PhD, RP,
Dr. Stephanie Yamin is a licensed clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. She is currently a professor at the School and Counselling, Psychotherapy and Spirituality at Saint-Paul University and a private practitioner. She works with adults, older adults, and organizations using an integrative approach favoured by cognitive behavioural therapy and emotion-focused therapy.
Cynthia Bilodeau is a professor at the School and Counselling, Psychotherapy and Spirituality at Saint-Paul University. She is a registered psychotherapist who specializes working with adults, older adults and organizations using an integrative approach favoured by interpersonal psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and humanistic approaches.
This presentation will focus on working with individuals who have a diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease, mainly older adults (e.g., dementia and Parkinson’s disease). Ethical issues including how to obtain consent will be discussed. We will focus on how to adapt the therapeutic process to best serve these clients. Evidence-based approaches will be presented. Issues pertaining to caregiving will also be reviewed.
Presented by Dr. Monnica Williams, PHD, ABPP
Dr. Monnica Williams is a board-certified, licensed clinical psychologist and Associate Professor in the School of Psychologist at the University of Ottawa, Canada Research Chair in Mental Health Disparities, and Director of the Laboratory for Culture and Mental Health Disparities.
Past and recent research suggests that psychedelic drugs can be effective for many mental health conditions when utilized in conjunction with psychotherapy. For example, MDMA-assisted psychotherapy has been studied as a means of helping people overcome post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), believed to work by reducing fear of traumatic memories and increasing feelings of trust and compassion towards others, without inhibiting access to difficult emotions. However, research studies of psychedelic psychotherapies have largely excluded people of color, leaving important questions unaddressed for these populations. Dr. Williams will discuss the ethnic minority trauma experience, including racial trauma, and how psychedelic therapies may help or hinder healing for people of color. Also discussed are next steps in ensuring that access to culturally-informed care is prioritized as MDMA and other psychedelics move into late phase trials and expanded access, including the importance of culturally-informed approaches and training focused on therapy providers of color.
Presented by Amanda Neilson CYW, BSW, RSW
Amanda Neilson is a Harm Reduction Consultant and addiction counsellor currently working at Rideauwood Addiction and Family Services. In partnership with Rideauwood and Algonquin College, Amanda was the subject matter expert, developing and implementing a harm reduction framework for post-secondary institutions. Amanda also teaches part-time at Algonquin College in the Social Service Worker program. She is currently completing her Master of Social Work degree through the University of Victoria. Amanda is registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers. Amanda has more than 20 years’ experience working with youth, adults and their families within the addiction and mental health sector. In addition to her work with individuals, groups and post-secondary institutions, Amanda is a passionate and sough-after community speaker, trainer and educator.
This engaging and informative workshop focuses on developing participants’ understanding of problematic substance use and addiction through a trauma informed lens. By including the impact of trauma in the current biopsychosocial model, participants will be able to broaden their intervention strategies and utilize a compassionate framework. Drawing from the works of Dr. Gabor Mate, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, as well as my 20 years of experience within the addiction field, this workshop invites participants to share and grow their knowledge to more effectively support clients with substance use issues. A full day workshop would include exploring trauma informed interventions.

Hypnosis is often used to treat sleep problems, but most published scripts are targeted towards simple insomnia – difficulty falling asleep in the absence of significant sleep or co-morbid mental health challenges. Most of our clients are much more complex, but few doctors or therapists have more than superficial knowledge of sleep and little or no training in the treatment of sleep disorders.
Embedding Sleep is a 7 week, online course that offers an introduction to sleep disorders (both primary and secondary to other mental health challenges), research about the effectiveness of hypnotic strategies for treatment, tools for evaluating sleep, and scripts to address specific sleep problems. In addition, you will learn practical, psychoeducational, and hypnotic strategies to treat complex sleep problems.
Cost: $397 + applicable tax

The Certified Executor Advisor designation program (CEA) is appropriate for counsellors working with Canadians to help them through the myriad of emotions and challenges that may present on the death of a loved one, the stress of being overwhelmed with work they’re not prepared for, simmering conflicts with spouses and siblings, financial problems arising from inheritances, risk of personal litigation and those working in mediation for any of the above.
CEA candidates come from the seventeen professions executors may turn to in the course of their duties. This means there are sixteen professions working with executors and their families across Canada looking for counselling services when problems arise. Naturally, they’re looking for counsellors who understand executor related issues.

As an international leader in crisis management services, we regularly recruit trauma specialists to join our crisis responder network. Crisis responders participate in short-term contract work in response to mass casualty events such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks and aviation accidents.
To become part of the network, individuals must be trained by FEI and will be required to attend the FEI Crisis Responder Training. This training is facilitated via webinar and those who complete the training are eligible to earn up to 8 continuing education units (CEU’s).
When deployed to provide support during a crisis, the trauma specialists will be compensated at an hourly rate ranging from $75-$90 USD/hour (depending on the level of support required for those impacted and as requested by our customer).
If you are interested in learning more about the training and the opportunity to become a member of our International Crisis Responder Network, please contact us at:414-359-6571 or you may see details on the training and register at the link below:

FEI Behavioral Health has been a leader in providing humanitarian support for over 40 years to our customers, their family members and, their communities following a critical event. At times the crisis may require organizational support such as an on-site debriefing. At other times, we may be asked to provide support on a larger scale due to a mass casualty event. In those situations, basic psychological first aid is provided.
FEI has experienced an increase in the requests for critical incident support from our customers. Additionally, with the escalation and threat of terrorism and natural disasters, FEI would like to invite your agency, and your clinicians, to join our elite network focused on providing the necessary support at the most critical times.
Recent research indicates that over 40% of Canada’s first responders struggle with symptoms consistent with one or more psychological disorders. The gap between mental health clinicians and first responders leave many to struggle in silence and work wounded. Our unique training opportunity is designed to change this.
We are proud to announce that Level 1 and Level 2 of our Occupational Awareness Training Program is now available online! Our courses have been designed for any healthcare professional interested in expanding their skill set in working with public safety personnel. They include customized lectures by top subject matter experts in the field of public safety mental health.

I am seeking participants for a research study that explores practitioners’ responses and experience of the Psychotherapy Act, which was fully enforced in January 2020.
This survey will provide valuable information regarding how the Psychotherapy Act is being taken up by covered professionals and how it is impacting their relationship to their profession, other colleges and institutions. It also provides you a chance to anonymously voice your opinion and reflect on your experiences of the new legislation.
The survey should take 15 to 20 minutes to complete. The link to the survey is:

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or my supervisor, Dr. Olga Smoliak, at [email protected] Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Leslie Vesely
