Webinar: Knowledge Sharing Community (11:00AM - 1:00PM)
So Who Are You Really Serving? The Challenge of Serving Special Populations in FDCs August 14, 2013 11 am – 1 pm PDT
One of the most important decisions faced by each Family Drug Court is determining its target population and what resources are needed to serve them. This webinar presentation will provide an overview of key considerations when selecting and modifying your target population and why a collaborative approach is critical when making such decisions. Whether you are planning a new Family Drug Court or an established program, these decisions are critical to the mission, practice and policies, outcomes, and sustainability of your FDC. This webinar will highlight two Family Drug Courts programs and the collaborative process they underwent in determining and serving the needs of special populations in their FDC. Special focus will be on serving medically-assisted clients and children ages 0-3.

Traumatic Incident Reduction-Expanded Applications Workshop (8:30AM)
This four day intensive workshop teaches three techniques that are used to treat the symptoms of PTSD, even if the client does not have full-blown PTSD. These techniques are client-centered, non-intrusive, non-judgmental, non-hypnotic and directive. The safe environment provided by the facilitator allows the viewer of any incidents repetitively to enable her to fully remember the incident and incorporate it into normal memory so that the distressing symptoms of PTSD are reduced and often eliminated completely.
Any person who has the sincere desire to help people and is willing to abide by the Rules of Facilitation may take this workshop. It is a stand-alone workshop and one will be able to use the techniques upon workshop completion. Certification can be earned, and other workshops that give the facilitator other techniques are available to be taken. There is no requirement for any advanced degree or experience in trauma treatment. Please visit our website at www.tir.org to learn more about registration and cost. 28 CEUs are available through NAADAC.
