THIS IS A 4 CEU PRESENTATION. THE COMPLETE 3 DAY CONFERENCE IS A 20 CEU EVENT.
Event Description:
Often misunderstood and untreated, the problem of sexual addiction in a client, a client’s family member, or in a coupleship is one that is frequently present but often missed – even in those clients presenting for treatment of other addictions and substance dependency.
This 4 hour presentation is Part I/Day I of a two part training on the subject of screening for and intervening on the problem of sexual addiction in a family system. While the two presentations are related, each part can be attended independently as well. Participants can attend either Part I or Part II without attending the other, or can attend both. Please click here to learn more about Part II of this presentation.
Participants in this training will have the opportunity to join together with all seven of our LCCS therapists as we team up with NASW New Jersey Chapter’s 2016 conference titled “A World of New Challenges and Opportunities for Social Work” to bring their collective sex addiction treatment experience to the broader professional audience in this two part, eight hour presentation. As noted above, while these two segments are related to each other, they can be attended independently. Participants can attend either part I or part II without attending the other, or they can attend both parts.
Not Just a Cheater: Understanding and Intervening on Sex Addiction
