Unmasking Invisible Abuse: IPV and Coercive Control
Most mental health clinicians are familiar with the concepts of Child Abuse and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). As mandated reporters, clinicians are trained to recognize signs of abuse in children and may even acquire some training on signs of IPV. Quite often the signs of physical abuse are clear and obvious – bruises, burns, and even broken bones are what raises alarm bells. What is less often clearly defined is the concept of coercion although the idea is often alluded to. An example of this might be to ensure a client is in a safe and private space when telehealth sessions are being conducted to allow for clients to speak freely without others interfering and reducing the likelihood of coercion and increasing the ability of the client to speak honestly.
This brief course is an introduction to the concept of coercive control, which is much more insidious than physical abuse as coercive control leaves no physical signs and is even less likely to be believed by law enforcement and the legal system. Having a better understanding of coercive control can allow a clinician to become aware of how coercive control works, interpersonal factors involved, and how to support a client who may be experiencing the phenomenon.

Do the Right Thing! An Ethics Training
Ethical challenges in therapy are multifaceted, often presenting complex crossroads. This interactive course, aimed at enhancing ethical competencies in therapeutic settings, utilizes the Code of Ethics as a foundational guide. Participants will engage in a deep dive into ethical principles, focusing on their application in both telehealth and face-to-face scenarios. The course emphasizes the development of a robust ethical framework, enabling practitioners to critically analyze and navigate ethical dilemmas. Through a blend of theory and practice, including group discussions and case studies, clinicians will refine their decision-making skills, establish firm professional boundaries, and learn to apply ethical decision-making models effectively in their practice.
