Please join us for a 3-hour Live Webinar by Dr. Laura Guy on the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY). We limit the space in each session to provide you with the opportunity to interact with Dr. Guy and ask questions about the administration and implementation of the SAVRY for assessing and managing risk for violence in youth.
During the Webinar, Dr. Guy will review major developmental concepts relevant to violence risk assessment and management with youth, teach participants how to rate the risk and protective factors on the SAVRY, and discuss how the measure can be used in practice.
An afternoon workshop for psychotherapist, counsellors, social workers, physicians, psychologists, educators, clergy, and other interested in learning to effectively apply Adlerian theory and practice in their work with clients.
Creating movement and change with our clients is a core goal of any therapeutic relationship. Adlerian psychology focuses not on ‘symptoms’ but rather on exploring and addressing the underlying purpose that these ‘symptoms’ serve in a client’s life. Using Early Memories as a therapeutic technique, we can assess: a person’s beliefs about themselves, others, life and values; the client’s stance in relation to the counseling relationship; and individual strengths, assets, coping patterns, and interfering ideas.
The use of Early Memories can help to quickly identify how a client’s life today is affected by early childhood beliefs and decisions. This intervention can be used to powerfully and effectively shift clients’ perceptions and actions.
In this clinical workshop, our Adlerian team will:
Outline the steps in collecting, and analyzing early memories
Offer a live demonstration of ‘therapy in action’
Provide an opportunity to practice the use of early childhood memories
