Camera-on required.  GWSCSW is committed to verifying that the same standards are as applicable for virtual workshops as in person workshops. The participant must be observed as present and attending both; therefore virtual workshop attendance requires participants to keep their video camera on for the duration of the presentation, except during scheduled breaks, to receive CEUs.

CEUs: Category 1 | 3.0 ETHICS CREDIT

The is a growing visibility of CNM/polyamory in society and more individuals are choosing these models rather than tradition monogamy. Because of this there is increased client disclosure in therapy, however most clinicians are not only unfamiliar with these models but uncomfortable exploring these models with the client due to their own biases or lack of education. There is a need for cultural competence in relational diversity

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Define monogamy, polyamory, and other (CNM) Consensual Non Monogamy models
