Approved for 14 EMDRIA Credits

Working with Law Enforcement, Firefighters, and Emergency Responders of all types of assignments are regularly exposed to traumatic events over the course of their careers.  This exposure can lead to post-traumatic symptoms from brain injuries.  Unfortunately, this chronic line of duty exposure often goes unidentified so that without treatment resulting in long-term and sometimes fatal consequences.  This presentation will review the core competencies for therapists working with this population from a psychologist with 40 years of experience.  Core competencies include understanding the similarities and differences within the wide array of assignments professionals encounter. Topics covered for mental health providers specializing in working with the population include clinical training competencies, administration and institutional betrayals trauma, legal and ethical issues, working with brain fitness and sleep fitness, and case conceptualization using a Parade of Faces.  This workshop will end with practice exercises regarding ethical and legal issues along with case examples.
