So in this spirit we are pleased to announce a new divisional name along with the introduction of a number of new exciting courses and special events for this upcoming calendar. This past year the Justice Institute of BC has gone through an extensive strategic planning process to determine its direction for the next three years. As part of this process, we have been exploring ways to better serve our current learners and find creative ways to reach out to new learners. One of the things that we have learned from speaking with people who attend our courses is that the Division name does not accurately describe the kind of training we offer or the educational materials we produce. As a result, our name has changed effective June 1, 2007. Our new name is “Child, Family and Community Safety Division.” As you read through our calendar you will notice a number of new courses, programs and special events, here is a sampling: • Justice and Public Safety Career Preparatory Program for Aboriginal Learners • Un/divided Loyalties: Counselling Lesbian and Bisexual Women of Colour (#SPE146) • Gut A/symmetries: Working with Marginalized

This training offers psychotherapists, social workers, frontline, and health workers the opportunity to learn from a dynamic presentation that will include clinical cases and small group discussions.

Registration: 604.528.5590 or 1.877.528.5591 Psychotherapy from the Inside Out: The Brain of the Mindful Therapist (#SPE225) As we continue to discover more about the deeply social nature of the brain, human service professionals are moving towards remarkable new insights into what traditional notions of “mindfulness” mean in the context of human relationships. It is becoming ever clearer that it is the clinician’s own level of awareness and neural integration that is at the heart of the therapeutic process. Dr. Daniel Siegel will focus on how neuroscience can complement traditional contemplative practices and explore how to enhance deeper levels of integration in ourselves and in those we care for professionally. You will learn about the nine levels of neural integration and how to work at each level, both in your own self-development and with others. You will explore the new findings about the mirror neuron system and how the various circuits involved in emotional resonance and empathy can enhance your understanding of others and of yourself. Dr. Siegel will pay special attention to the role of “mindsight” – the interweaving of insight and empathy – and how it leads to changes in selfregulation, attuned communication, and mental well-being. This presentation is for psychologists, social workers, counsellors, medical professionals, social service workers, mediators, and others who work in the helping professions. It is offered in partnership with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and City University.

He is also director of the Mindsight Institute, an educational organization that focuses on how the development of insight and empathy within individuals, families, and communities can be enhanced by examining the interface of human relationships and basic biological processes.Dr.SiegelservedasaNationalInstitute of Mental Health Research Fellow at UCLA, studyinghowattachmentexperiencesinfluence emotions,behaviour,autobiographicalmemory, and narrative. He is the author of the internationallyacclaimedbookTheDeveloping Mind:Toward a Neurobiology of Interpersonal Experience. His most recent book,The Mindful Brain, was released in March 2007. The treatment of survivors of chronic abuse presents many challenges, including complex diagnosis, treatment staging, and relational dilemmas. In the past decade, there have been remarkable advances in both understanding and treatment approaches concerning abuse-related trauma. The treatment model presented for complex PTSD is a nonpathologizing, developmentally informed approach that integrates cognitive-behavioural and psychodynamic perspectives. This model moves away from the idea of understanding discrete “symptoms,” towards a more sophisticated and integrated understanding of how survivors adapt to and cope with the long-term effects of chronic abuse. All courses run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Registration: 604.528.5590 or 1.877.528.5591 | www.jibc.ca/cfcs | General Inquiries: 604.528.5608 or 1.888.709.4085 17 COUNSELLING AND CAPACITY BUILDING – INDIVIDUAL COURSES Resisting Vicarious Traumatization: Sustaining Ourselves in Work with Trauma – Level 1 (#TS121) [formerly #COUNS121] Individual Courses COUNSELLING AND CAPACITY BUILDING These courses are designed for counsellors and other professionals who are currently working with clients and are interested in building and refining their counselling skills. There is no application process, and you may register for these courses as you choose. Some courses may be used as electives in certificate programs. GROUP RATE A group rate is available for Counselling and Capacity Building courses. This rate applies where three or more persons from the same organization register at the same time. Understanding Substance Use (#AD400) This course will provide you with an overview of current practice theories and models in the field of substance use. Topics include: the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model; applying a harm-reduction approach to practice; impact of substance use on the individual, family, and community; identification of barriers to accessing help; and ethical issues and challenges for practitioners. This course is a prerequisite for all courses in the Substance Use Certificate. Date(s): September 21-22, 2007 – NWC January 25-26, 2008 – NWC Fee: $255; group rate, $235 Instructor(s): Heidi Furrer Therapists working with trauma are witnesses to oppression, exploitation, and violence. There are prescriptive stories that we will “burn out” in this work. Contrary to this, however, is the story of sustainability – how our collective work against violence and trauma sustains us, nourishes our hope, and invites us to honour the resistance and strength we witness in the people we work alongside of. In this experiential course, you will unpack the prescriptive story of burnout and map your relationship with stories of sustainability. We will collectively honour your resistance to unjust ways of working, and map the influence of social justice ideas and practices in your work. Situating trauma within social contexts, you will work towards moving from private pain to public issue and resisting the pathologizing of your clients as passive victims. You will begin to build your own “solidarity teams,” examining who stands beside you and what theories, practices, and ethics sustain you. The voices of clients will be present through poems, transcripts, and letters. Date(s): October 1, 2007 – NWC Fee: $148; group rate, $138 Instructor(s): Vikki Reynolds Listening for the Metaphor: Facilitating Parenting and Caregiver Groups (#COUNS120) We are increasingly surrounded by images; we watch, see, and use them to describe experiences we both like and dislike. It is therefore increasingly important for those in a helping role to listen for the metaphor. During this practical course, you will learn how to listen for metaphors, and explore the symbolic meaning a particular metaphor has for that person by learning how to use five types of questions. This new way of listening will enhance your skills when others describe both their internal and external conflicts and their “stuck” places. These skills will also reduce your sense of having “difficult” people to help. Date(s): October 5, 2007 – NWC Fee: $148; group rate, $138 Instructor(s): Elaine Stoll 18 Registration: 604.528.5590 or 1.877.528.5591 | www.jibc.ca/cfcs | General Inquiries: 604.528.5608 or 1.888.709.4085 Understanding Pharmacology from a Counsellor’s Perspective (#EP308) Un/divided Loyalties: Counselling Lesbian and Bisexual Women of Colour (#SPE146) NEW For a course description, please see page 33.

As workers, we can unintentionally and indirectly collude with individuals to remain “stuck,” become dependent on others to solve their problems, and focus on the evaluation of others, such as teachers, counsellors, peers, and so on. This course is practical and skill-based. Date(s): October 16-17, 2007 – NWC Fee: $245; group rate, $225 Instructor(s): Elaine Stoll NEW For a course description, please see page 16. Date(s): October 19, 2007 – NWC Fee: $175; group rate, $165 Instructor(s): Silvana Bazet, Farzana Doctor Mask and Mirror: The Many Faces of Shame (#EP214) Shame is a primal human response to a loss of mutuality or of power within a relationship. Changing power dynamics within family, groups, or community are possible without a loss of dignity or individual integrity. You will examine the central role of shame in the dynamics of trauma, abuse, addictions, attachment, eating disorders, and dissociative states of consciousness. You will gain knowledge and skills for addressing clients’ experiences of shame through lecture, discussion, case presentations, and experiential learning. Date(s): November 1-2, 2007 – NWC Fee: $245; group rate, $225 Instructor(s): Margaret Jones-Callahan This one day course is designed for therapists, counsellors, and other mental health practitioners who are considering opening a private practice or who wish to enhance the quality of their current practice.

The course also examines the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and grief, and offers a model for distinguishing the two. Central to healing from addiction is the rediscovery of parts of the self. This course focuses on the path of spirit in this journey of recovery/discovery, and how practitioners can integrate spirituality into their work with clients. It is rooted in a broad definition of spirituality as an inherent part of the self that seeks to know one’s essence, purpose, and meaning, and to connect with self, others, and a greater whole that is often considered Mysterious or not fully known but that evokes faith. You will explore your own beliefs and biases related to spirituality, and how these impact your work. You will also examine and explore the intersection of addiction and spirituality, spiritual assessment, and spiritual resources and interventions, through both experiential learning and provision of tools for clinical practice. Finally, you will have an opportunity to renew and restore your own sense of spirit. Please bring something that symbolizes your understanding of spirituality, to be used during the day.

MAKING THE TRANSITION: PROVIDING SERVICE TO TRANS SURVIVORS OF VIOLENCE AND ABUSE This introductory course was developed by the Women/Trans Dialogue Planning Committee and the Justice Institute of BC for service providers interested in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to support and assist trans survivors of violence. While there are some issues of overlap between lesbian/gay/ bisexual and trans communities relating to violence that can be addressed in a LGBT framework, trans people of all sexual orientations have specific service needs and experience unique barriers in attempting to access services. This training goes beyond a LGBT approach to address issues specific to work with trans survivors. The course will build on and increase your awareness of: the social context of violence against trans people; forms of violence and abuse typically experienced by trans people; power and control as examined through a trans lens; barriers to reporting violence and accessing services; and agency policies and practices required to create trans-positive environments and to support trans survivors who have experienced violence.

Through short lectures and interactive discussion, you will acquire a basic understanding of stress and critical incident stress as well as the factors and vulnerabilities that contribute to a heightened response to critical incidents. This three day course presents the skills and processes that underlie the group debriefing process. Course content includes the debriefing process, dynamics that may emerge during the debriefing process, and leadership roles and behaviours that support both the individual and the group in normalizing what has occurred. You will have the opportunity to discuss a range of approaches, experiment with your own debriefing style, experience situations that might interfere with the normalization process, and explore the importance of self-care in maintaining your role as a debriefer. There will be a strong emphasis on skill practice through the use of case scenarios, and instructors will provide evaluative feedback. Prerequisite(s): Demobilization and Defusing (#TS601). Date(s): November 2, 2007 – NWC Fee: $175 Instructor(s): Laurie Pearce Demobilization and Defusing (#TS601) Demobilization and defusing are the first steps in the critical incident stress management (CISM) intervention process.

Date(s): March 1, 2008 – NWC Fee: $175 Instructor(s): Laurie Pearce Registration: 604.528.5590 or 1.877.528.5591 | www.jibc.ca/cfcs | This course is designed for those who have completed Blocks 1 and 2 of the CISM Certificate and are seeking certification with the Association of Traumatic Stress Specialists (ATSS). In addition to the hours of classroom instruction, the ATSS also requires 30 hours of field placement before certifying individuals. Because of the challenges of securing practicum placements and the fact that it could take several months to complete 30 hours of active fieldwork, we have negotiated with the ATSS the option for candidates to complete a roleplay simulation. The ATSS will accept as equivalent to a 30 hour practicum your successful completion of this one day simulation class. The role-play simulation is designed to provide you with the opportunity to show how you have incorporated your new knowledge from the CISM program into your practice. You will be asked to participate in simulations with actors and will be evaluated by the instructors of the CISM program. In addition, you must submit to the ATSS a written Observation/Analysis Report of the simulation as part of the equivalency process. Instructors are available to help you complete the ATSS application process. Class size is limited to 10 participants, so please register early. Prerequisite(s): CISM Blocks 1 and 2 and completion of final exam.

In the past decade, there have been remarkable advances in both understanding and treatment approaches concerning abuse-related trauma. This course offers a conceptual framework for the delivery of effective clinical interventions with abuse survivors. Specific techniques and approaches will be taught that will assist in addressing affect regulation, chronic intrusion and hyperarousal, trauma-related schemata, attachment difficulties, and re-enactments. Lori Haskell, EdD, C.Psych., is a clinical psychologist in private practice with over 20 years of experience. Dr. Haskell’s clinical and research interests include trauma, revictimization, sexual abuse, and sexual violence in relation to women’s psychological development. She has a status appointment as an assistant professor in psychiatry at the University of Toronto and is an academic research associate with the Centre for Research on Violence Against Women and Children, at the University of Western Ontario. Dr. Haskell has written a book entitled First Stage Trauma Treatment: A Guide for Therapists Working With Women. For more information on this and other Special Events, please see page 17.
