FEATURED RECORDED WEBINARS
Low Libido or Desire Discrepancy
Presented by Alexis Rae Burrow, LPCC-S and Heather Sexton, LPC
2 CEs
Low libido is one of the biggest concerns cisgender women bring to health-care providers in and outside of the therapy room. Often, evidence shows, cis women who struggle with low libido don't reveal their struggle unless directly asked. Much of the research on this topic is lacking in gender diversity and other cultural implications. Another problem is, very few clinicians have any training on how to recognize and especially treat low libido. This training will equip therapists with ways to identify this common sexual concern. You will leave this training being able to assess and intervene with evidence-based interventions for this common sexual issue.
Intuitive Eating and Anti-Fat Bias in the LGBTQ+ Community: The History of Anti-Fat Bias
Presented by Reyna Lusson, LSW and Miriam Mogilevsky, LISW-S
1.5 CEs- Meets Ethics Requirements
Participants will learn the history and origins of anti-fat bias in the context of racism and ableism. This session will bust some common diet culture myths, and break down the white supremacist history of the BMI.
The content of this training draws significantly on the work of fat activists and scholars; participants will be provided with a comprehensive list of resources from individuals with lived experience, and are strongly encouraged to continue learning from this material. Miri and Reyna strongly believe that fat people deserve paid opportunities to speak about their own experiences of fatphobia and perspectives on how to resist it; this training is not that, and should not be considered a substitute for learning directly from fat individuals about their experiences.

Decolonizing Mental Health: Moving from Whitewashed Wellness to Culturally-Affirming Practices Part 1
Presented by Kurstie Bevelhymer-Rangel, LSW and Julie Hazel, LPCC
3 CEs- Meets Ethics Requirements
The presenters invite participants to attend this training with an open mind as the information presented will de-center well-known theories and practices that were built on the foundations of white supremacy, systemic racism, and oppression. The presenters will aim to aid participants in identifying their implicit biases as well as challenge and dismantle practitioner’s educational and professional experiences. This training will aim to amplify teachings, theories, and practices rooted in the knowledge passed down from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color throughout history that have paved the way for the common theories, interventions, and practices used today. This will allow space for participants to critically think about the ways in which systemic racism and white supremacy have played a foundational role in the development of educational and professional practices within the Psychology, Social Work, and Counseling fields. From this perspective, participants will be able to critically examine the ways in which implicit biases have skewed professional practices and allow practitioners to incorporate more culturally relevant and appropriate practices when working with marginalized communities.
