Join us for a special 2-day Micro-certification program (conferring a PD-PT(i) post-nominal credential), with featured expert Dr. Jeff Riggenbach as he dives deep into all DSM-5 clusters to nail down accurate diagnoses, explore case studies, build flexible treatment plans, and use tailored behavioral and cognitive approaches to crack the code on these hardest to treat clients!

Learn the intricate relationship between chronic pain and mental health, including how chronic pain impacts emotional well-being and intersects with anxiety and depression. Via case studies, instruction, and interactive discussion, differentiate between structural and neural circuit-related pain. Learn evidence-based interventions for pain such as Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), modified ACT Skills, and modified CBT to enhance pain management strategies.

Suicide risk assessment, screening, and treatment skills competency is required of all mental health clinicians. Creating safety for the client isn’t only about access to means and hospitalization, but we have to also consider the sense of safety we are providing for the client and helping them build within themselves. Learn cognitive, somatic, and intrapersonal strategies to help clients manage suicidal urges.
