    Description:

    As the recent election has shown, the nation is more divided than at any time since the Civil War. Polarization enters the therapy room through emotional triggers, relationship distress, and worries for the future. Many people demonize and hold contempt for the political “other,” even when the “other” is in their families. Therapists are not immune to this toxic political culture, and it can affect how we work with clients facing political stress and divisions in their lives. At a broader level, can we apply a larger therapeutic perspective to the problems of our society instead of just taking a side in the contempt and outrage wars? Explore clinical tools and a larger vision for our role as citizen therapists. You’ll discover how to:

    • Develop an understanding of the political "other” inside and outside of therapy
    • Identify the connection between your current clinical work and societal polarization
    • Practice skills in bridging gaps between individuals and groups who see themselves as politically polarized
    • Connect with initiatives where you can use your knowledge and skills for the public good.

    Learning Objectives:

    At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

    1. Assess the ways in which societal polarization impacts clinical work.
    2. Evaluate different therapeutic stances clinicians can take when faced with clinical situations that evoke political and societal polarizations.
    3. Practice applying depolarization skills in your own work with clients and within the community.
    4. Identify opportunities to go deeper with community-level depolarization.
    5. Limitations and potential risks of these models.

          "Real Talk", a clinical consultation/support group developed with the oversight of the CSCSW's Diversity, Equity and Transformation (DET) Committee, the purpose of which is to provide a space for clinical social workers who identify as being Black, Indigenous, Mixed Race, or Person of Color (BIPOC) to meet on a monthly basis. The focus of this group is to provide an opportunity for networking, building solidarity, exploring intersectionality and decolonizing our practice. 

          This group is a closed group for individuals who self-identify as Black, Indigenous or Person of Color (BIPOC). The group's objective is to provide a brave space for those in the field to process the ongoing violence against and politicizing of minority groups' lives.

          This email reminder is sent out widely to all contacts and is not filtered by how individuals self-identify; therefore, if you have received this email but do not identify as BIPOC, we ask that you respect the intention of this group by not logging in to the meeting. However, we invite you to participate in our monthly CSCSW Diversity, Equity and Transformation (DET) Committee meetings as an ally. As a member of CSCSW, you are invited to attend a variety of open groups such as the Telehealth Consultation/Support Group, Support Group for Social Work Students and ASWs, and Ethics Consultation Group.

          Malika Spencer

          I am a Master of Social Work student at Arizona State University Online, with both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Criminal Justice. As an African American woman and member of the LGBTQ+ community, I’ve often found myself navigating spaces where I have not always been valued or respected. These moments have fueled my commitment to advocacy, integrity, and holding space for those who are too often dismissed. I hold myself to high standards, which has opened doors, but also brought the weight of constantly having to prove my worth.

          Over the past three years, I’ve volunteered with several community-based organizations and previously served as Chair of the Western Region Social Action Committee for Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., where I hosted webinars focused on social issues, education, and advocacy. I am currently completing my generalist practicum with the Association of Black Social Workers in Greater Los Angeles, supporting culturally responsive programming and healing-centered initiatives.

          With a background in supporting system-impacted youth, families involved in child welfare, and currently, unhoused individuals living with mental illness, I am deeply committed to justice, healing centered care, and creating spaces where BIPOC individuals can feel seen, supported, and empowered.



          This group is FREE; however, donations to CSCSW or the JAF Scholarship Fund are welcome.

          Please note that this group does NOT provide supervision to its members and no CEU’s are offered.

          "Real Talk" will be held via Zoom on a monthly basis. Those who register for the group will be sent a link to participate.

          Description:

          Starting a private practice is exciting—but navigating the business side can feel overwhelming, especially for therapists who weren’t taught how to think like entrepreneurs. In this presentation, Natalie Moore, LMFT shares practical and values-driven strategies to help clinicians build a sustainable, full-fee practice without burning out or selling out.

          With a trauma-informed, anti-hustle approach, Natalie will walk participants through key elements of private practice success, including niche development, authentic marketing and systems that support both income and impact.

          This talk is ideal for associate and licensed clinicians who want to grow a practice that’s ethical, aligned and built to last.


          Learning Objectives:

          At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

          1. Identify three foundational elements for launching or growing a values-aligned private practice.
          2. Describe how niche development supports ethical marketing and client fit.
          3. Name at least two sustainable strategies for attracting full-fee clients without relying on insurance panels.

            Free group for CSCSW Members who are thinking about retiring

            The group will provide a mutually supportive space for participants to explore how it's done, logistics, tapering down, clinical issues with clients, and our feelings about it. As we benefit from consultation and assistance at the beginning and middle phases of our careers, it is no different when it comes to closing out a fulfilling career in a way that we feel is ethically and practically sound.

              “Seven Tools to Liven Up Your Couple/Family Sessions”
              Presented by David Mineau, PhD, LMFT     

            Presentation Overview:

            Feeling stuck in the middle of couple or family dynamics? This engaging and experiential presentation introduces seven practical tools (or “experiments”) that bring clients face-to-face and help them engage more directly with one another. You'll learn how to structure, guide, and debrief these tools—designed to foster insight and connection while reducing therapist over-functioning.   

            About the Presenter:  David Mineau, PhD, LMFT, has specialized in couples work for over 35 years. He’s taught Marriage and Family Therapy and Human Sexuality at Sophia University and co-developed the Couples Communication curriculum at Kaiser. Outside of the therapy room, David enjoys studying California native plants and local owls—and brings warmth and creativity to all he does.

            Description:

            The most important thing I've learned in over 20 years of working with couples is this: all of our attempts to listen, talk, understand and care need openness to succeed. Everything we want, and try to do, with each other depends on our openness in each moment and our ability to sense that openness–something I call the "aperture effect."

            I have developed a mindfulness-based approach that is a synthesis of my training as a psychiatrist, the neuroscience of relationships and my experiences with meditation. I teach couples to develop in-the-moment awareness of their openness as they interact.

            At some point in teaching colleagues about aperture, I realized that our own aperture awareness is the foundation for all our work. Underneath all our models, techniques, procedures, and words—when we are most effective—we are being guided by our awareness of openness, our own and our clients’. This aspect of our work is often in the background, largely unconscious. By giving it a name, aperture awareness, and putting it in the foreground, we may be able to use this power even more effectively. This is not a model to replace others but a way enhance our current models and skills. This approach can add simplicity and clarity to make your work more effective and more fun.

            - Kathryn Ford, MD. Presenter


            Learning Objectives:

            At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

            1. Learn the meaning and importance of aperture awareness as a special application of mindfulness.
            2. Learn the basic neuroscience related to openness.
            3. Learn the relationship of openness and aperture awareness to dialogue.
            4. Learn how to use aperture awareness to increase your effectiveness as a therapist.
            5. Learn exercises to cultivate: mindfulness, aperture awareness, dialogue.
