Despite global initiatives calling for the inclusion of multidimensiona l approaches to sexual health research and practice\, the dominant discour se continues to be disease and deficit focused. While multiply marginalize d populations are hyper visible in the sexual health research on risk and disease\, they are rarely considered in the arena of sexual wellness. In r esistance to narratives that pathologize marginalized sexualities\, this p rogram focuses on how to incorporate sex positive practices into therapy w ith queer and/or trans Black\, Indigenous\, and other People of Color (QTB IPOC). When marginalized identities are associated with risk and negative outcomes\, how can we practice strengths based\, sex positive therapy? The oretical frameworks exist to help us shift our language and actions toward more socially just and destigmatizing care. By utilizing intersectionalit y theory (Crenshaw\, 1991) and embodiment (Krieger\, 2001)\, this program illustrates the reciprocal relationship between the body and its social co ntext within compounding systems of oppression. Our own bodies as therapis ts matter too. Investigating our own socialization\, internalized beliefs\ , and biases are imperative to providing affirming and sex positive care. \nParticipants will learn how to accurately identify and apply the tenets of intersectionality theory into a sex-positive clinical practice with mul tiply marginalized clients (Buchanan & Wiklund\, 2021). To bridge the know ing to doing gap\, this program includes clinical vignettes\, guided self reflection\, and engaging chat based discussions and Q&A. \nZoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event registration.   \nThis program\, when attended in its entirety\, offers 2.0 CEs for Psy chologists\, 2.0 IL CEUs for Counselors and Social Workers\, 2.0 BBS Calif ornia CEUs for LPCCs\, LPSWs\, and LMFTs\, 2.0 AASECT CEUs for Sex Educat ors\, Counselors\, and Therapists\, or 2.0 NBCC Clock Hours.

Rooted in psychology\, neuroscience\, and behavioral economics\, and brought to life by real stories of world-class leaders\, t he book offers an integrated system for mastering the 21 challenges organi zations and teams face most often. \nWebb arranges these around three stre ngths of a great leader: making wise choices\, inspiring people to perform at their best\, and building resilience through ups and downs. Written in a clear\, engaging style\, “Leadership Intelligence” shows that leade rship is something anyone can build and cultivate over time to handle hard situations with grace\, decide with clarity\, and lift a team to greatnes s. \nWebb will be in conversation with Jonathan Haidt\, Ph.D.\, the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University’s Stern S chool of Business and the New York Times bestselling author of several boo ks\, including\, most recently\, “The Anxious Generation.” \nBonus Boo k Giveaway\nFAN is giving away copies of Leadership Intelligence to random ly selected Zoom attendees.

Through a structured\, experiential approach\, participants learn to comm unicate ethically and effectively with Spanish-speaking clients across div erse helping contexts. The curriculum emphasizes communication for safety\ , alliance-building\, and meaning-making rather than grammatical perfectio n\, aligning language use with core therapeutic competencies (Egan\, 2018) . By integrating language learning with the three stages of Egan’s model —Exploration\, Understanding\, and Action—participants strengthen thei r ability to support client agency\, foster therapeutic alliance\, and tra nslate insight into concrete steps. \nAligned with Egan Stage III\, this s ession teaches Spanish for brief interventions and action planning. Partic ipants learn language for identifying next steps\, selecting coping stra tegies\, and setting small\, realistic goals that honor client agency.  \nWe practice collaborative planning\, troubleshooting barriers\, and stre ngthening commitment using respectful phrasing. Participants also learn ho w to summarize action plans and document them clearly.  \nZoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event registration.  \nThis program\, when attended in its entirety\, offers 3.0 CEs for Psych ologists\, 3.0 IL CEUs for Counselors and Social Workers\, 3.0 BBS Califor nia CEUs for LPCCs\, LPSWs\, and LMFTs\, or 3.0 NBCC Clock Hours.

They have a decision problem. Because here’s the truth no one tells you: The answe r isn’t more data. It’s clearer decisions.  \nIn this workshop\, you ’ll cut through the noise and finally understand what’s driving your r evenue—and what’s quietly draining it. No accounting jargon. No overw helm.  \nYou’ll learn simple\, practical ways to make better decisions about what to keep\, fix\, or cut—so your business actually pays you bac k. Growth doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from doing more of wha t actually makes you money.  \nKey Takeaways:  \n\nWhy more numbers won ’t fix your business (and what actually will) \nThe real difference bet ween revenue and profit—without the accounting lecture \nHow to quickly identify your most profitable products \nSimple ways to track profitabil ity \n\n \n  \nAbout the Speaker:  \nPauline McKinney helps founders ma ke clear decisions without drowning in data. After 20+ years inside high-p erformance environments\, she saw the same pattern everywhere:\nsmart lead ers tracking more\, measuring more… and still second-guessing every move . So she built Be The Data Hero to fix it. Her work cuts through the noise \, strips data down to what actually matters\, and gives leaders something most dashboards don’t: a clear next move. Because better decisions don ’t come from more data. They come from knowing what to ignore.

Grounded in lived expe rience\, trauma‑informed clinical practice\, and multicultural theory\, the session demonstrates how culturally responsive assessment—particular ly the DSM‑5‑TR Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI)—can reduce diag nostic bias and improve ethical care for African diaspora\, Indigenous\, a nd immigrant clients. \nThis presentation invites audiences into a timely conversation about healing\, well-being\, and cultural connection—where spirit meets science within mental health care. Presenters illustrate how trauma\, culture\, and spirituality intersect in today’s world and how c linicians can hold space for both the sacred and the psychological. With i ncreased stress or trauma\, and as symptoms demand treatment\, people of e very background are seeking healing beyond conventional therapy. Many are turning to ancestral\, interfaith\, and nature-centered practices that hon or identity and connection—from Afro-Diasporic and Indigenous healing ci rcles to Catholic\, Buddhist\, and interfaith gatherings\, and from Latino Día de los Muertos remembrances to mindfulness traditions rooted in East and South Asian communities. \nZoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event registration.  \nThis program\, when atte nded in its entirety\, offers 2.5 CEs for Psychologists\, 2.5 IL CEUs for Counselors and Social Workers\, 2.5 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs\, LPSWs\ , and LMFTs\, 2.5 NASP CPDs for School Psychologists\, or 2.5 NBCC Clock H ours.

Founded in 1947 by artist\, educator\, and master print er Robert Blackburn (1920–2003)\, the workshop arose during an era of ra cial segregation when artists of color had limited opportunities and from the dissolution of the Works Progress Administration Federal Art Project ( 1935–43)\, which had supported community art centers across the country\ , including Chicago’s South Side Community Art Center. Blackburn filled the void with the Printmaking Workshop\, creating a shared space for racia l integration and collective creativity.\n\n"Press & Pull" traces this his tory through 38 prints made at the Blackburn Printmaking Workshop\, archiv al ephemera and video drawn from its archive. Woven into the exhibition ar e an additional 45 prints that identify historical similarities and differ ences between the workshop and printmaking practices in Chicago. This comp arative approach offers factors that have contributed to Chicago’s print making scene\, such as the founding of the South Side Community Art Center \, the flight of African Americans from the South and Jews from the Soviet Bloc\, the Black Arts Movement and communal skill sharing cultivated in n ow-shuttered print shops and contemporary printers’ guilds.\n\nThe exhib ition also includes photographs and video excerpts from "The Only Thing Th at Lasts\," an oral history film documenting the lived experiences of the workshop's multigenerational community. Produced by Camille Crain Drummond and funded by the Hauser and Wirth Institute\, the oral history includes narratives from artists and cultural workers such as robin holder\, Dindga McCannon\, Eleanor Magid\, Nitza Tuiño\, and Richard Powell.\n\n\nArtist s\n\n\nRon Adams\, Haig Aivazian\, Ralph Arnold\, Xenobia Bailey\, Romare Bearden\, Camille Billops\, McArthur Binion\, Chakaia Booker\, Robert Blac kburn\, Betty Blayton\, Margaret Burroughs\, Elizabeth Catlett\, Ed Clark\ , Carlos Cortéz\, Eldzier Cortor\, Renee Cox\, Chicago Printers Guild\, L izania Cruz\, Devraj Dakoji\, Nicolás De Jesús\, Raque Ford\, Michele Go dwin\, Maren Hassinger\, Eric Von Haynes\, Barbara Jones Hogu\, Margo Hump hrey\, Richard Hunt\, Michiko Itatani\, Rose Iver\, Joeri\, Baseera Khan\, Tsedaye Makonnen\, Kerry James Marshall\, Dindga McCannon\, Glendalys Med ina\, Edward Millman\, Nontsikelelo Mutiti\, Otto Neals\, Ademola Olugebef ola\, Richard Powell\, Martin Puryear\, Mavis Pusey\, Kameelah Janan Rashe ed\, Krishna Reddy\, Faith Ringgold\, Kenny Rivero\, Elliott Jamal Robbins \, Shellyne Rodriguez\, Stephanie Santana\, Nicholas Sistler\, Raoul Varin \, Jarrell Wadsworth\, June Wayne\, Ian Weaver\, Charles White\, Michael K elly Williams\, Industrial Workers of the World Wobbly Artist and John Wil son.\n\n\nSupport\n\n\nSupport for "Press and Pull: is generously provided by a grant from Teiger Foundation\; the Terra Foundation for American Art \; the School of Art\; the College of Architecture\, Design\, and the Arts \; and the University of Illinois Chicago.

Counselors and mental health professionals alike are found t o be hesitant to engage in sexual health-related discussions with their cl ients (Bungener et a.\, 2022\; Hipp & Carlson\, 2019). The current literat ure notes various explanations\, including but not limited to developmenta l appropriateness concerns\, lack of knowledge or training\, and avoidance due to personal discomfort (Berry & Lezos\, 2017\; Cardona et al.\, 2022\ ; Hipp & Carlson\, 2019)\, which create risks of rupturing the therapeutic relationship\, missed opportunities for assessment and referral\, and\, i n turn\, potential client harm (Brammer & Goodrich\, 2022). This hesitancy is evident across counselor experience levels (Canvin et al.\, 2023). Eme rging research has demonstrated knowledge as an important factor in improv ing comfort with sexuality (Mize & Ausloos\, 2026). It is important for co unselors\, both generalist and specialized\, to understand the role of sex ual health and wellness in counseling practice (Pope et al.\, 2024). \nThe webinar will explore the role of sexual health conversations within couns eling practice and review current research related to counselor comfort\, knowledge\, and engagement with sexual health concerns. Ethical considerat ions and professional responsibilities related to addressing sexual health in counseling will also be discussed. Through case examples and reflectiv e activities\, attendees will examine factors that may facilitate or hinde r engagement in sexual health conversations and consider how these factors may influence client care and clinical decision-making. Practical strateg ies for initiating and navigating sexual health conversations in ethical\, inclusive\, and developmentally appropriate ways will be provided. \nZoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event regi stration.  \nThis program\, when attended in its entirety\, offers 2.0 CE s for Psychologists\, 2.0 IL CEUs for Counselors and Social Workers\, 2.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs\, LPSWs\, and LMFTs\, 2.0 AASECT CEUs for Se x Educators\, Counselors\, and Therapists\, or 2.0 NBCC Clock Hours.

Presented in partnership with the Road Scholars Speakers Bureau.Mic hael Workman: Writing as Cultural Archaeology and the Poetics of PlaceSept ember 26\, 202612:00-2:00pmDoors at 11:30am About: In this program\, art ist and writer Michael Workman invites audiences to explore how writing\, history\, and landscape intersect to shape cultural memory. Drawing from h is interdisciplinary practice and from the work of artists such as Theresa Hak Kyung Cha\, Johanna Drucker\, and Charles Reznikoff\, Workman approac hes writing as a form of cultural archaeology—an excavation of the layer ed relationships between language\, identity\, and place. Through this len s\, participants are encouraged to see the local environment not only as a backdrop but as a living archive of stories\, gestures\, and voices that continue to inform community life across Illinois. Blending storytelling\, performance\, and reflective discussion\, Workman leads participants thro ugh accessible exercises that connect observation\, movement\, and writing . Each session begins with a short reading or performance excerpt that fra mes the concept of “poetic fieldwork\,” followed by guided writing pro mpts and group dialogue. Participants may be asked to respond to local lan dmarks\, historical artifacts\, or personal memories of place\, using lang uage to uncover how geography shapes emotion and thought. Whether held in a library\, museum\, or community center\, each presentation adapts to its surroundings\, creating a shared space for conversation and collective di scovery. By the end of the program\, attendees will have produced short fr agments of writing and new ways of perceiving their environment—connecti ng artistic practice to civic imagination. Michael Workman is a Chicago-ba sed artist\, writer\, and sociocultural critic whose work has appeared in the Chicago Tribune\, Guardian US\, Newcity\, and WBEZ Chicago Public Radi o\, among other publications. He is the Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of B ridge (bridge-chicago.org)\, a nonprofit publishing and programming organi zation founded in 1999. Workman also serves as Development Officer for the Kyiv-Mohyla Foundation of America and Development Coordinator at the Ukra inian Institute of Modern Art (UIMA)\, where his grant writing has secured major awards\, including the Andy Warhol Foundation’s Wynn Kramarsky Fr eedom of Artistic Expression Award and the 2024 state recognition of Ukrai nian Village as a cultural district. His writing and performance work expl ore the intersections of language\, movement\, and place. His publications include Propositional Attitudes (Golden Spike Press) and Perfect Worlds: Artistic Forms & Social Imaginaries (StepSister Press)\, launched with per formances at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Recent performances i nclude Active Investigation (Neubauer Collegium\, 2023). He is a 2025 Illi nois Arts Council Creative Projects Grant and Rabkin Foundation Travel Gra nt recipient\, the 2025 Joan and Peter Hood Artist-in-Residence at Allerto n Park\, and a 2026–27 Illinois Humanities Road Scholar.

Org anized around three integrated frameworks — Sacred\, Shadow\, and Scienc e — the program supports clinicians in expanding their interpretive rang e when working with clients whose healing processes draw from spiritual\, ancestral\, somatic\, and culturally situated traditions. Drawing on traum a-informed care (Ranjbar et al.\, 2020)\, Polyvagal Theory (Porges\, 2011) \, Somatic Experiencing (Levine\, 2010)\, and body-centered approaches to racialized trauma (Menakem\, 2017)\, the program positions cultural and em bodied experience as central to effective trauma treatment. Clinicians wil l examine how meaning-making systems\, shame dynamics\, nervous system reg ulation\, and somatic awareness each contribute to the arc of trauma recov ery\, and how clinical interpretation is shaped by the practitioner’s ow n cultural and epistemological frameworks. \nThe program introduces three clinical lenses applied sequentially and in integration. \nThe Sacred sect ion examines how clients construct meaning through spiritual\, ancestral\, and culturally rooted frameworks and how practices such as ritual\, inten tional breathwork\, and symbolic language function as regulatory and integ rative mechanisms. \nThe Shadow section examines the role of shame\, disow ned experience\, and adaptive survival strategies in trauma presentations\ , using four clinical archetypes: the Wounded Protector\, the Fragmented S elf-State\, the Over-Adapted Self\, and the Control-Seeking Part as orient ing frameworks for clinical recognition and response. \nThe Science sectio n draws on Polyvagal Theory (Porges\, 2011) and window-of-tolerance concep ts (Ogden et al.\, 2006) to examine how the autonomic nervous system media tes threat response\, social engagement\, and the conditions under which t rauma can be processed and integrated. It is worth noting that Polyvagal T heory has generated substantive scientific debate\, particularly regarding its neuroanatomical claims about the functional distinction between dorsa l and ventral vagal pathways and its evolutionary framing (Grossman\, 2023 \; Grossman et al.\, 2026). These critiques are active in the peer-reviewe d literature and have not been fully resolved. However\, researchers and c linicians have distinguished between the theory’s specific physiological claims\, which remain contested\, and its clinical heuristic value\, whic h has been broadly affirmed (Giroux et al.\, 2023\; van Lith et al.\, 2024 ). \nThis program treats Polyvagal Theory as an organizing clinical framew ork for understanding how clients move between states of activation\, shut down\, and regulated engagement\, not as a fixed biological truth. Partici pants are encouraged to hold the framework with the same epistemic humilit y the program applies to all theoretical models: useful tools held with in tellectual honesty about their limits. \nZoom link will be available on co urse page in “My Courses” upon event registration.  \nThis program\, when attended in its entirety\, offers 3.0 CEs for Psychologists\, 3.0 IL CEUs for Counselors and Social Workers\, 3.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs \, LPSWs\, and LMFTs\, 3.0 AASECT CEs for Sexuality Educators\, Counselors \, and Therapists\, or 3.0 NBCC Clock Hours.
