Court-Proofing for Practitioners Working with Children or Adults Who Have Been Sexually Abused (#CSA112) Increasingly, counsellors and therapists working in the field of child sexual abuse intervention find themselves involved with the justice system. Counsellors working with children or families who are involved in criminal proceedings face the challenge of trying to find interventions that offer the necessary support to their clients while at the same time not interfering with the proceedings. They also face the possibility of being called as a witness. Recent Charter decisions requiring that Crown counsel disclose all of their documentation to defense counsel have resulted in counsellors and therapists being placed in a position of releasing their case notes and files to the court. In civil actions, practitioners working with adult survivors also face the possibility of being called upon to testify in court, having their case files and notes subpoenaed, or being sued by the alleged offender. This new course is directed toward counsellors and therapists working with child, adolescent, or adult survivors of child sexual abuse who may find themselves involved in the justice system. On days one and two, participants will examine the practices and procedures involved in civil, family, and criminal court proceedings; review relevant statutes and rules of evidence; explore critical issues surrounding the provision of support or therapeutic intervention with clients within the context of their legal proceedings; and discuss the limits or constraints on confidentiality and the client/practitioner relationship. Issues related to practitioner record-keeping and documentation, including a step-by-step plan for responding to subpoenas, will be included. On day three, participants will have the opportunity to increase their familiarity and comfort with court procedures through observing or participating in a mock trial.

Abuse Within a\Malevolent Context: Identifying and Intervening in Severe Intra-Familial Abuse (#CSA144) Active malevolence is often a feature in extremely abusive families. Frequently, one child becomes targeted, and as a result, experiences severe psychological harm. Yet these malevolent behaviours may be extremely difficult to recogniZe, investigate, or intervene in because the behaviours may be well hidden by individual family members. The morning plenary is directed toward social workers and mental health practitioners, police officers, and crown counsel involved in identifying, investigating, and prosecuting severe abuse cases. Malevolent intent will be defined and the structure and characteristics of these families will be explored. The impact on the targeted child, in particular, the child's use of dissociation as a defense against the abuse, will be examined. The afternoon session is directed toward social workers, school counsellors, and therapists who work with and treat children who have experienced severe abuse. The impact of the family dynamics on the assessment and treatment process will be addressed, as will guidelines for 14 Interdisciplinary Studies selecting or avoiding particular interventions. Issues of power, loyalty, control, coercion, and attachment will be discussed within the context of specific interventions.

On day one, participants will define treatment philosophies, consider sequencing strategies, and examine intervention approaches for ego-enhancement and improvement or maintenance of client functioning. On day two, participants will explore a range of treatment options involving different lengths and intensities. Challenging issues faced by therapists related to dissociated or repressed memory will be examined and strategies for working with "open versus disguised" presentation of clients' sexual abuse histories will be explored.

What are our deep-rooted assumptions about the nature of our organizations and our work? From these questions, the focus will shift to a review of some alternative forms of organizations and strategies for their development. The objectives of this course are to increase the understanding of organizational conflict and to provide options that participants may then apply in their own situations. 18 Interdisciplinary Studies This course is intended for those who have had little or no previous training in conflict resolution skills; it should be taken prior to Conflict Resolution, Level I: Dealing with Interpersonal Conflict (#CRl00).

Participants will have an opportunity to apply some of these mechanisms and choose ones that are personally relevant so that their interactions with others become more effective. Length: Date(s): Time: Fee: Shifting from Positions to Interests (#CR748) Whether in the context of negotiation, mediation, or interpersonal conflict, people adopt positions and offer solutions in order to meet their underlying interests. Working toward interest-based resolutions requires skill in clarifying and understanding the wants, rteeds, concerns, and fears which support the opposing positions. This skillbuilding course is designed to assist participants to reach positive outcomes through a deeper exploration of positions, interests, and intentions. Participants will enhance skills aimed at eliciting underlying interests, illuminating blocks, facilitating processes, establishing positive outcomes, and generating a wider range of choices. ]!>re. requisite(s): two core courses.

Without our self-disclosure, the other party is likely to become suspicious, aggressive, defensive, or withdrawn. Many people are reluctant to express their own interests, however, for fear of appearing too open or naive. The result is that their interests may not receive fair consideration. This course gives participants skills and practice in identifying and articulating their interests; describing situations and circumstances objectively and clearly; and expressing outcomes in assertive, non-blaming ways.

Length: Date(s): Time: Fee: One day (7 hours) September 30, Jill Schroder 9:00 am - 5:00 pm $90 Unspoken or withheld feelings of anger, hurt, mistrust, and resentment often impede the process of resolving a conflict. Unreasonable demands, attacks,·and outbursts are symptomatic of unfinished business which clouds the present issues. Judgments prevailing throughout the relationship lock our perceptions of the other and limit the options for resolution. These judgments need to be cleared in order to begin to re-establish trust and build a foundation of co-operation. This course will focus·on developing skills for getting past unfinished business by clearing judgments, acknowledging hurt, reducing defensiveness, and working toward a trusting relationship. This course will focus on personal and work-related conflicts. Prerequisite(s): Two core courses Recommended: Critical Skills for Communicating in Conflict (#CR735).

We need to be aware of how groups function differently from twoparty systems if we are to be effective group members or leaders. This course looks at group dynamics such as: group' role functions and leadership, how teambuilding occurs, participation levels, power struggles, hidden agendas, how to manage disruptive behaviours, value differences, and how to balance group and individual needs. Participants will learn how to adapt the two-party conflict resolution model, to make collaborative decisions, and resolve conflicts in groups.

Length: Date(s): Time: Fee: Two days (14 hours) November 14-15, Sally Campbell 9:00 am - 5:00 pm $185 Building Consensus (#CR733) In recent years, there has been an increasing trend in both business and the public sector to develop collaborative approaches to dispute resolution, including consensus building, team building, stakeholder participation, and public consultation. This shift toward group involvement in solving problems, setting policies, making decisions, and planning events has not always been successful. The process of consensus building has tremendous appeal and yet is difficult to implement. Its , benefits include long-term effectiveness and a deeper and more pervasive commitment to the decisions reached and the actions required. Although elements that lead to consensus are relatively simple to understand, the challenge is to learn to apply the elements effectively. This course is designed to assist participants to understand the conditions that must exist for consensus decisions to be made, procedures for preparation of the involved parties, process and guidelines to follow while trying to reach a decision, and facilitation skills necessary for reaching consensus.

This "climate" is one in which the parties' feelings are respected and, at the same time, are managed so that their emotions do not become either self-destructive or a weapon against each other. Safeguarding this emotional balance is challenging and essential. Participants will have the opportunity to practise interventions that will enable them to help the parties to cope more constructively with their own emotions, to better understand one another's feelings and to maintain an environment in which the parties' emotions will contribute to the successful resolution of the conflict.

They may occur as caucuses during the session, or as telephone conversations between sessions. These meetings and conversations are key components of the mediation process and present their own set of challenges. It is essential that the mediator conduct them in an efficient and productive manner while ensuring that his or her impartiality remains intact. In this course, participants will learn to recognize when, how, and under what circumstances it is appropriate to meet individually with the parties and will practise conciliation and caucusing methods in roleplay simulations with the assistance of skill coaches.

Whether the case be family-based (e.g., parent/teen, child protection, divorce/separation), or in an organizational setting (e.g., workplace or sexual harassment), or whether or not.a screening tool has been used, power issues will need to be addressed by the mediator. This course will examine indicators, causes, and treatments of power imbalances that occur in mediation.
