Upcoming SIP Training Level 1 with Beth Toler, Tere Canzoneri, and Melissa Lemons Starts Online 02/19/26

Upcoming SIP Training Level 1 with Beth Toler, Tere Canzoneri, and Melissa Lemons Starts Online 02/19/26
Beginning 02/19/26, SIP Training Level 1 introduces clinicians to a bio psycho social spiritual understanding of human beings and its relevance for psychotherapy practice. This approach recognizes that clients’ spiritual and religious perspectives often shape their presenting concerns, relational patterns, and sense of meaning. Learning how to engage these dimensions ethically is a critical skill for holistically oriented therapists.

The curriculum addresses the historical relationship between psychotherapy and spiritual traditions while grounding instruction in contemporary research and clinical practice. Participants learn how to recognize spiritual language, identify spiritual resources and struggles, and thoughtfully assess whether spirituality supports or complicates a client’s well being. Emphasis is placed on collaboration, curiosity, and responsiveness rather than directive or prescriptive methods.

Level 1 consists of five sequential courses, each offering three continuing education hours. Through interactive learning formats, clinicians are supported in developing confidence and skill in initiating spiritual conversations, conducting relational spiritual assessment, and integrating spiritually informed interventions when appropriate.

Starting on 02/19/26, SIP Training Level 1 supports therapists who want to integrate spirituality into psychotherapy in ways that are clinically sound, ethically grounded, and respectful of diversity.

#Trump must release millions in #grants meant to address the shortage of #MentalHealth workers in #schools, a federal judge ruled.

#Congress funded the program after the 2022 #Uvalde #SchoolShooting. The grants were intended to help schools hire more #counselors, #psychologists & #SocialWorkers, & focus on rural & underserved areas. But Trump’s admin opposed #diversity considerations used to award the grants & told recipients they wouldn’t continue past Dec 2025.
