SUMMARY:Acute Stress Syndrome Stabilization (ASSYST) Procedure ©
DESCRIPTION:The ASSYST Complete is a comprehensive on demand training designed to equip clinicians with rapid EMDR-based interventions for acute stress\, dissociation\, and complex trauma. These simple and effective protocols can be used immediately and are especially helpful in fast-paced or high-stakes clinical environments. \nThe objective of the ASSYST procedures is to help regulate a client’s nervous system by decreasing sympathetic branch hyperactivation. This is accomplished by reducing the distressing components (sensory\, emotional\, or physiological) of intrusive symptoms using bilateral stimulation. \nOn a scale from 0 to 10 (with 10 being high disturbance and 0 being no disturbance)\, the ASSYST procedures have been shown to reduce the intensity of distress from high (6–10) to low (0–3). This reduction helps make the client’s distressing symptoms more manageable\, supporting day-to-day functioning and allowing for smoother engagement in follow-up treatment. \nThe distress addressed through ASSYST may stem from traumatic events\, aspects of mental illness\, memories of adverse life experiences\, or environmental stressors. As a result of receiving the ASSYST procedures\, research shows a significant reduction in symptoms of anxiety\, depression\, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). \nBy participating in this on-demand training\, attendees will be able to: \n\nExplain the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) theoretical model.\nDescribe what pathogenic memories are.\nIdentify how to obtain nervous system regulation with intrusive memories and the impact that has on the clinical experience.\nExplain how to utilize the ASSYST procedure with the general population in one’s private practice.\nIdentify what clinicians should do during critical care\, rapid response\, or early intervention and why.\nExplain how clinicians can keep a non-anxious presence to help stabilize the client’s nervous system.\n\nPresented by Kelly Smyth-Dent\, LCSW\, Founder and President of Scaling Up\, LLC\, EMDR Advanced Trainer & EMDRIA Approved Consultant & Trainer \nPlease email the CCALAC Training Center if you are interested in accessing the on-demand training at training@ccalac.org. \nInstructor Biography \nA Licensed Clinical Social Worker\, EMDR Trainer and published researcher\, Kelly stands at the forefront of EMDR therapy and training on a global scale. Her work has taken her across continents—from France to Ethiopia and from Bangladesh to India\, as well as throughout the United States—conducting EMDR Basic and Advanced Trainings. \nAs a valued member of world-renowned EMDR-specialist Dr. Ignacio Jarero’s esteemed research team in Mexico\, Kelly contributes to the cutting-edge development of EMDR therapy. Kelly serves as a lead trainer of specialists\, ensuring that the facilitation of EMDR therapy adheres to the highest standards of excellence and consistency. \nKelly’s authentic and innovative approach to running Scaling Up allows for a large community of high-quality trainers and therapists who share similar values and mission to work together to make therapy more accessible and affordable globally.

SUMMARY:Breaking the Cycle\, Supporting the Team: Addressing Anxiety in Mission-Driven Work
DESCRIPTION:For many in mission-focused organizations\, anxiety isn’t just an occasional visitor—it’s practically on payroll.

DESCRIPTION:For many in mission-focused organizations\, anxiety isn’t just an occasional visitor—it’s practically on payroll. Between national politics\, wanting to protect the communities we serve\, funding threats\, digital distractions\, and the never-ending list of “urgent” tasks (seriously\, how can everything be urgent?)\, it’s no wonder we’re all running on stress fumes.  \nThis interactive two-session course from CCALAC and Hunter Gatewood is here to help.   \nWe’ll take a step back\, look at the three levels where anxiety and stress operate\, and explore real strategies to make work feel a little less like an endless emergency. Together\, we will tackle:  \n\nHow can I manage my own stress\, to direct my focus and creativity where I want it to go?\nHow do I support my team without just saying\, “Hang in there!” and sending another emoji? \nHow can I stay engaged in the threatening political landscape without getting stuck feeling angry and overwhelmed? \nLet’s challenge the anxiety cycle\, reclaim some peace of mind\, and maybe even have fun doing it. \n\nAs a result of attending this training\, attendees will be able to:  \n\nChoose one or more habits to manage personal stress effectively\, enabling them to direct their focus and creativity where desired. \nLearn practical approaches for supporting team members and cultivating healthier team dynamics in the face of (understandable\, normal) high levels of anxiety that people bring to team interactions. \nApply methods to challenge the pervasive anxiety cycle common in mission-driven work\, aiming to reclaim a sense of peace and calm. \nDecide how they want to engage with the news media with intention\, as part of the work of serving diverse low-income and immigrant communities\, and as compassionate people in the world. \n\nPresented by Hunter Gatewood\, MSW\, LCSW\, Owner and Principal\, Signal Key Consulting \nSpace is limited! \nCCALAC Members & Affiliates $50\, Non-members $75 \nRegister Now! \nInstructor Biography \nHunter Gatewood\, MSW\, LCSW\, and his company Signal Key Consulting partner with organizations that want healthy teams and an adaptive learning culture.
