Join CEBT for our final 2026 Building Effectiveness Series FREE lunch hour presentation “Beyond the Diagnosis: A Deeper Look at PTSD Assessment and Treatment.” With 1 complementary CE, the program meets Wednesday, September 23rd at 12pm EST. In lieu of a registration fee, please consider a donation to the Emotional Relief Fund to help remove barriers and create pathways to effective treatment for young people who otherwise could not access care.

Presented by Dr. Will Schutt, Ph.D., this one-hour continuing education training offers a practical, clinician-focused overview of identifying, assessing, and conceptualizing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a disorder of non-recovery, in which avoidance functions as the primary mechanism maintaining symptoms. The training reviews DSM-5-TR criteria, prevalence, and comorbidities, and introduces the Life Events Checklist (LEC) and the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5) to improve detection and diagnostic clarity. Special attention is given to the common underreporting of symptoms and the ways PTSD can be misidentified when comorbid concerns such as self-harm, psychosis, disordered eating, or substance use are present. Participants will learn to differentiate PTSD from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and apply a staged, readiness-based approach to treatment planning using evidence-based interventions such as CPT, PE, EMDR, and DBT.

Join CEBT Founder Dr. Lucene Wisniewski TOMORROW July 14th for a 1 hour webinar on treating complex, multi-diagnostic eating disorder cases.

Working with clients who present with eating disorders alongside suicidality, self-harm, depression, anxiety, or BPD is inherently challenging. Clinicians are often navigating ambivalence, life-threatening behaviors, and therapy-interfering behaviors—all while trying to maintain treatment momentum and avoid burnout.

In this one-hour live workshop, Dr. Wisniewski will introduce the MED-DBT model (Multi-Diagnostic Eating Disorder DBT), a clear and systematic framework designed to help clinicians prioritize effectively, address therapy-interfering behaviors, and treat the full complexity of these cases with confidence.

Participants will learn how to:
- Organize ED and comorbid behaviors within DBT Targets I–III
- Identify and address both patient and therapist therapy-interfering behaviors
- Conceptualize cases using MED-DBT dialectical dilemmas
- Apply strategies for suicidality, self-injury, and treatment engagement
- Troubleshoot common challenges with diary cards and implementation

This workshop is ideal for clinicians seeking a structured, evidence-based approach to some of the most clinically demanding presentations.

Are you working with a parent of a child or teen who feels *ruled* by anxiety or OCD, even though you’ve tried to help with therapy, reassurance, and problem‑solving? There is a different, evidence‑based option: **SPACE** (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions).

SPACE is a parent‑based treatment developed at Yale that works by coaching parents, not the child or teen, to reduce unhelpful “accommodations” (like sleeping on their floor, avoiding activities, or constantly reassuring) while increasing calm, supportive responses to their distress. When parents make these shifts, kids typically become less anxious and more independent, even though they never attend sessions themselves.

At CEBT, we offer SPACE for parents of children and adolescents. SPACE provides concrete scripts, step‑by‑step plans, and collaboration strategies to:
- Respond supportively when a child or teen is anxious, without “feeding” the anxiety.
- How parents can gradually pull back from anxiety‑driven accommodations at home, school, or work.
- Help parents teach their child or teen to face separation, social situations, worries, OCD rituals, sleep fears, and more.

Looking for a structured, research‑supported way to help parents? SPACE at CEBT may be a strong fit. Visit https://cebtohio.com/space-supporting-parenting-for-anxious-childhood-emotions/ or message Hannah Heffner [email protected] to learn about more about this intervention.
