Continuing education
Training on what standard training leaves out.
Most clinical training never covers how to recognize a male client who's been harmed by a partner — or what to do in the moment when he starts to tell you. My dissertation research interviewed practitioners across the country about exactly that gap: what helped these men engage, what drove them away, and what clinicians wished they'd been taught.
These workshops turn those findings into practice. They're built for therapists, counselors, social workers, and other licensed clinicians who want their intake, assessment, and alliance-building to work for a population most of us were never trained to see.
What the workshops cover
- How men who've experienced partner harm actually present — and the cues that standard screening misses
- The disclosure moment: responses that build alliance, and responses that quietly end it
- Assessment pitfalls, including misreading a harmed client as the aggressor
- The cultural expectations men are measured against, and how they shape help-seeking
- Working with the shame, disbelief history, and small-community privacy fears these clients carry
Dates, credit & registration
Straight answer on CE credit: approval processes with accrediting bodies are underway but not complete, so no CE credit is currently offered or guaranteed. Each workshop listing will state its exact credit status — which body, how many hours, or none — before registration opens. The first workshop is planned for fall 2026; dates will be announced to the waitlist first.
