- Description:
- Work with, not against, clients with co-occurring substance use disorders by using harm reduction therapy to forge an effective therapeutic alliance.
Full Description:
Counseling individuals who have co-occurring substance use disorders is often challenging and marked by apparent resistance, denial, and drop-out. Clients are often ready to address problems such as depression and anxiety, while reluctant to change their substance use. Well-intended clinicians may find themselves creating a confrontational atmosphere, rather than one that is collaborative.
This webinar will introduce harm reduction therapy (HRT) as a proven approach for developing a more stable and productive therapeutic alliance with clients who have co-occurring substance use disorders. Participants will delve into the philosophy, techniques, and ethical considerations associated with HRT. Dr. Rotgers will conclude by using current research findings to make the case that HRT is an effective model for increasing client engagement and achieving better treatment outcomes.

- Traditionally, the main focus of device manufacturers was to deliver a physical product with the respective functionality and to maintain this product throughout its life-cycle. But times have changed.
Connectivity becomes more important and creates completely new use cases. Instead of physically tying functionality to hardware devices, software becomes the main differentiator. In order to be successful in this market, device manufacturers are changing their business models and focusing on embedded software as key to customer satisfaction and sustainability. To do so successfully, every device manufacturer needs to know exactly what their customers are entitled to and what they are really using. This includes the ability to communicate with customers and update functionality remotely.
Device Manufacturers also need to adapt quickly to different monetization, licensing and pricing models as customer expectations mature. This Webinar gives an overview on changing business models, along with details and examples what is expected from Intelligent Device Manufacturers and where companies are especially successful in the IoT world.

- Description :
Vital elements of a robust, "bullet-proof", "closed-loop" Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) program include: "Gatekeeper" capture, investigation, verify/validate, monitor, change control methodology, coupled with accurate root cause analysis. Such a "closed-loop" CAPA system will meet / exceed CGMP requirements and U.S. FDA expectations. Robust CAPA requires a specific sequence of activities, each building on the other, to enhance patient safety and improve product quality.
It is also key to many other important cGMP activities -- Non-conformance / OOS resolution, Complaint Handling, Adverse Event Reporting and Resolution, other Verification and Validation activities, Audit corrective and preventive actions, et al. Simple tools and work flow are not understood, diseminated, and used, consistently. Product failures, liability issues, scrap / waste / fall off, and needless recalls result, as evidenced in recent notorious events.
Avoid a "shoot from the hip" approach. Define, then attack, and resolve root problems / causes, not just symptoms, using repeatable, systematic, SOP-defined methods as part of the "closed-loop" CAPA system.
A robust CAPA requires repeatable, systematic Failure Investigation and Root Cause Analysis. The FDA has faulted companies repeatedly for failure to identify, systematically investigate, resolve, and then verify/validate and monitor for reslution of the key underlying problem -- basically an inability to define, locate and resolve the basic problem(s) or root cause(s) -- using a repeatable system.
The most important area audited by the FDA is CAPA -- it assures the FDA that company is in compliance without the Agency constantly auditing it. One of the most cited 483 observation is failure to resolve the key underlying problem and close out CAPA documents in a timely manner -- basically an inability to define, locate and resolve the basic problem(s) or root cause(s). Regular, defined, systematic use of a few simple but powerful tools can contribute greatly to reduction of product liability, cost reduction efforts, less chance of recalls, and an improved bottom line.
Areas Covered in the Session :
Regulatory "Hot Buttons"
CAPA Background
Correction, Corrective Action, Preventive Action Defined
Impact Analysis and Response - a Key Component
CAPA System Assessment
"Bullet-Proof"
Data Sources / Metrics
Monitor for Effectiveness
"Closed-Loop" - Lock In the Change
Beyond Regulatory Compliance
Who Will Benefit:
This 90 minute in-depth webinar will provide valuable assistance to all regulated companies that need to review and modify their company's CAPA system.
Its principles apply to personnel / companies in the Medical Devices, Pharmaceutical, Diagnostic, and Biologics fields. The employees who will benefit include:
Senior management
Middle management
R&D
Engineering
Software
QA / RA
Manufacturing
Operators
Consultants

- Help your clients paint a picture of sobriety for their lives, with specific art interventions for each of the 12 steps.
Full Description:
About 23.5 million people in the U.S. seek treatment for illicit drug or alcohol abuse, often with the assistance of a “12 Steps” program. Recently, attention has been drawn to the benefits of integrating art therapy into the traditional 12 step approach. The creative process is the perfect way to explore the subconscious and gain a much deeper understanding of our personal motivations and how we respond to the world around us.
Whether the addiction is alcohol, drugs, food, sex, love, or work, elaborate systems have developed to justify and maintain addictive behaviors; including lying and rationalizing to manipulate family, friends, employers, and self. This webinar demonstrates specific art interventions to address these dynamics of addictive behaviors and assist clients in achieving and maintaining sobriety

- What do you do when children’s natural allies are their greatest foes? Discover techniques to enhance sibling relationships and restore family harmony.
Full Description:
Individuals with close sibling relationships are more emotionally mature, happier, have positive psychological well-being, and have closer friendships. On the other hand, aggressive sibling dynamics in childhood can not only lead to harmful life-long negative consequences, but can also deprive children of a potential life-long companion. Additionally, parents often report that sibling fighting is one of their main concerns and leads to turmoil throughout the family system.
This webinar examines the role that parents play in minimizing sibling conflict and enhancing sibling relationship quality. Using theoretical perspectives, a wealth of empirical data, testing instruments, and clinical experience, participants will experience a thorough examination of these issues and leave with tools and techniques to implement immediately in practice with families.

- Take the “enemies” out of “frenemies”! Equip adolescent girls and their parents with the tools to nurture healthy relationships with peers.
Full Description:
Girls’ friendships can be complex, supportive, and painful all at once. It can be especially confusing when a former best friend suddenly becomes a worst enemy. Relational aggression (RA) describes behaviors intended to sabotage friendships. Starting as early as pre-school, these behaviors include exclusion and the spreading of rumors (Crick et al, 2004). While both genders report experiencing RA, the psychosocial damage goes right to the heart of what matters most to girls - connection to peers.
Learn how to define and recognize the signs of RA for both aggressors and targets according to recent updates in the DSM-5®. Solution-focused activities will be shared to help teach girls assertive communication, conflict resolution, and emotional management. In addition, practical and supportive responses for parents and adults will be discussed.

- Description:
- Bernard Madoff Investment Securities LLC was the source of the largest financial fraud in US history. Madoff perpetrated a simple Ponzi scheme whereby older investors were paid with newer investor funds, thus providing the impression of actual investment returns. The extent of the losses related to Madoff’s Ponzi scheme have been estimated at $50 – $65 billion.
Many are astounded to hear that Bernard Madoff Investment Securities LLC was audited by a CPA. Unfortunately, Madoff’s CPA apparently did not subscribe to the AICPA Code of Conduct as most of the rules contained in the code were ignored. What follows is a case study examining the conduct of Friehling & Horowitz CPA’s P.C., the CPA firm that audited Bernard Madoff Investment Securities LLC, within the context of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct.
