Sovereign Health Offers December C.E. Opportunities

 

San Clemente, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/11/2015 --The Sovereign Health Group will host two continuing education (C.E.) events this month, one being offered online and the other in Southern California. Both courses meet the qualifications for one hour of C.E. credit required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) and the National Association for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC), and is approved for one contact hour by the California Board of Registered Nursing.

December 16 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PST– Hypothesis Testing: Working with Co-occurring Alcohol/Other Drug Addictions (AOD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) – Available online only – This webinar features speaker Anthony Mele, Psy.D., who will help attendees indentify the frequently cited theoretical models of addictive behavior. Therapists whose clients have AOD and BPD experience specific challenges. Since the etiology of both AOD and BPD are multi-determined, no one prescriptive treatment approach is likely to suffice. Rather, the therapist is encouraged to develop and test his or her own hypotheses to guide their clinical work. This presentation will assist therapists in creating and testing their own treatment hypothesis as they work with clients who have AOD and BPD.

December 29 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. PST – Pony Tales: Magical Moments in the Pasture with the Dual Diagnosis Client– Center Club, Costa Mesa – Renee Miller, Psy.D, LMFT, will present various case examples of the trauma-focused work she and her team do with their equine partners in the pasture. Dr. Miller will give a brief overview of Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and how these modalities work to quickly and effectively address what is at the core of addiction and dual diagnosis.
