The PROFES OR is a new\, experimental checklist designed to identify and summarize pr otective and risk factors for adolescents and emerging adults who have off ended sexually (i.e.\, those aged 12 to 25).  Whereas most risk assessmen t tools that are currently in use in the field were intended to predict th e future\, the PROFESOR is designed to assist with planning interventions that can help individuals to enhance their capacity for sexual and relatio nship health and\, thus\, eliminate sexual recidivism. We will conclude th e workshop with a brief overview of some tips and techniques for helping c lients to talk about difficult issues.\n\nFor more information on the PROF ESOR\, visit www.profesor.ca. \n\nLearning objectives:\n\nAt the conclus ion of this full-day workshop\, participants will:\n\n Be aware of the sc ientific and practical limitations regarding our ability to accurately pre dict future sexual recidivism\n Learn about recent research where protect ive factors (i.e.\, factors that protect against sexual recidivism) for se xual recidivism have been identified for adults and adolescents\n Underst and the rationale for the development of a new measure to assess risk and protective factors\n Have the opportunity to learn and practice the codin g rules for the PROFESOR\n Learn some concrete tips for helping clients t o talk about issues that they may be reluctant to discuss.\n\nSpeaker Bio\ n\nDr. Worling is a clinical and forensic psychologist in full-time privat e practice who has worked extensively with adolescents who have sexually o ffended\, and their families\, since 1988.  He also works with children a nd adolescents who have been sexually abused and with children under 12 wh o have engaged in harming sexual behaviours.  Dr. Worling has presented m any workshops locally and internationally\, and he has written a number of professional articles and book chapters regarding the etiology\, assessme nt\, and treatment of adolescent sexual aggression.  Dr. Worling is a fel low of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual abusers\, and he serves on the editorial board for their journal\, Sexual Abuse.\n\n \;\n\n& nbsp\;\n\n \;\n\nTraining materials will be provided online prior to t he training.\n\nPlease direct any questions to info@miatsa.org CATEGORIES:Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Detroit X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Detroit BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20210314T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
