Before and Beneath: Adoption Trauma and Co-Occurring Mental Illness

Wednesday, August 26, 2026

Most people think that when infants are adopted at birth, and taken home from the hospital by their new adoptive parents, the trauma of adoption is avoided. But the truth is that trauma exists even in the most ideal of circumstances and can influence mental health and mental illness later in life. The good news is that understanding the causes and impacts makes us better clinicians who are better equipped to treat adoptive families in our practices. 

Join us for a deep dive with Angela Jamison, CMHRC Deputy Director, adoption and foster care specialist, certified in Trauma Responsive Practice. 

Medication and Metabolic Agents in Psychiatric Practice

Wednesday, September 23, 2026

Psychiatric medications have a meaningful impact on the metabolism. The most commonly used medications in psychiatry, from antidepressants to antipsychotics, can have short and long term impacts on both the patient’s metabolic and psychiatric health. Join us for a deep dive into the intersection of medication and metabolism to understand its importance in your practice and for your clients.

Sleep Hygiene: Building a Better Sleep Routine

Wednesday, October 28, 2026

Sleep is one of the leading indicators of mental health and one that is often overlooked. Join us as we discuss the bidirectional relationship between sleep and mental illness, as well as dissect the sleep patterns associated with different pediatric psychiatric conditions.

Helping the Helpers, Self-Care for Mental Health Providers

Wednesday, November 18, 2026*

We’re called “Helping Professionals” for a reason, and helping others is at the center of every mental health provider’s purpose. But, the dramatic increase in need for mental health services is putting unprecedented pressures on mental healthcare workers. It’s important to remember that we can only help our clients and patients when we’re also taking care of ourselves. Join us for a supportive seminar on how to gently and efficiently engage in meaningful self-care as we head into the holiday season.

*Held on the 3rd Wednesday in November because of the Thanksgiving holiday. 

No clinical seminar is held in July.

Check back soon for information on August and September’s offerings.
