Do you have clients who struggle with sensory regulation? Many psychologists know that sensory body-based work is important, but struggle to recognize exactly where their clients need support and how to help. Learn how to think about and analyze the senses in a simple, and concrete way that is easily implemented in your practice and explained to clients and their families.
Learning Objectives:
– Understand the 8 sensory systems and how they influence behaviour, learning and emotional regulation in daily life
– Recognize the signs of sensory dysregulation and identify how it may present in children and adults
– Analyze case examples to determine which sensory systems may be under- or over-responsive
– Discover how to use a sensory regulation approach to help reveal the causes of problem behaviours like inattention, aggression, withdrawal, and meltdowns
– Promote a sensory-friendly clinical environment for your clients.
What’s Included:
4 hours of on-demand video
Downloadable handouts
6 months of access to the course

Visit https://cpa.ca/satellite/ for more information.
Every year, the CPA hosts an Annual Convention that brings together more than 1,200 members from across Canada to share and generate new ideas, network, and advance psychological science, practice, and education. Knowledge sharing and collaboration are essential to the evolution of psychology in Canada, and by creating more spaces for these conversations, we can continue to drive meaningful progress in the field.
As the needs of our membership grow and the landscape of psychology evolves, there is a need for a new, dedicated space to dive deeply into single, pressing topics. That’s why we’re launching the Annual CPA Satellite Conference—a yearly event focused on one issue that is important to our members. Each year, we will determine the topic of the conference based on what we and our membership feel is currently significant to psychology and deserving of in-depth and targeted discussion. These two-day events will bring together psychologists and students from across Canada to exchange ideas and insights, learning from the country’s leading psychology experts.
This year, our Satellite Conference will focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Psychology. The AI landscape is rapidly evolving in Canada and beyond. What does this mean for psychological science, practice, and education in Canada? What can psychology teach us about how we use and interact with AI? What is psychology’s place in AI in Canada?
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in critical discussions on AI’s role in psychological science, practice, and education. Join us in Vancouver at the stunning Nest at UBC for two days of insight, learning, and networking.

Live Online via Zoom
Facilitated by: Dr. Martin Bohus, M.D., & Dr. Shelley McMain, C.Psych.
This course, offered through the Centre for MindBody Health over a four-week period, provides a comprehensive examination of DBT-PTSD based on a psychosocial model. Dysfunctional behaviors are understood as strategies to avoid or escape from trauma-associated primary emotions like powerlessness, threat, anxiety, disgust, humiliation, or sexual arousal. DBT-PTSD proposes that these emotions are corroborated by dysfunctional cognitive assumptions and dysfunctional behaviors such as self-injury, suicidal ideation, dissociation or intoxication. It further proposes that problematic secondary emotions such as shame, guilt, self-hatred, or chronic anger develop over time into problematic self-concepts which impair quality of life.
DBT-PTSD helps clients: a. Revise their fear of trauma-associated primary emotions, b. Question whether secondary emotions like guilt and shame fit the facts, and c. Radically accept the fact of trauma in their lives to establish a life worth living. The treatment program is designed to be delivered in a residential program (three-months) or in an outpatient setting (45 weeks).
This course provides comprehensive training in DBT-PTSD including a manual.
The course also fulfills the prerequisite for enrolling in the Advanced DBT for Complex PTSD course that is offered alongside this foundational training course.
AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS TRAINING, YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
• Describe the basic psycho-social and neuro-behavioral principles of complex PTSD
• Implement the principles of DBT-PTSD within your clinical practice
• Develop an individualized trauma model
• Teach your client skills for dissociation, distress tolerance, and regulation of trauma-related emotions
• Conduct in-sensu exposure
• Help your clients create a life worth living
Target Audience
Multi-disciplinary mental health professionals interested in treating complex PTSD using evidence-based principles and procedures. Basic knowledge of DBT is recommended.

Join Bespoke Mental Health Canada for a workshop delivered by Dr. Janie Hong
Friday December 5, 2025
9:00 am – 12:30 pm (PT), 12:00 pm – 3:30 pm (ET)
To register for this event, click here
Can’t attend on that date? The “On-Demand” video is available 2 weeks after the live event.
In this workshop, Dr. Hong will highlight how not including neurodiversity-related factors into the clinical formulation can lead to poor progress and, at times, harmful outcomes. Using clinical examples, she will walk through the ways neurodiversity-related differences can completely shift cognitive behavioural formulations of maladaptive or unwanted behaviours. She will then offer concrete ways to incorporate neurodiversity-related differences into the formulation while also ensuring an evidence-based approach to care. Throughout the presentation, Dr. Hong will use real-world clinical examples to inform concepts presented. The workshop aims to help clinicians feel empowered with ways to reframe difficulties that come with holding an (often invisible) minoritized identity and use existing evidence-based treatment strategies more effectively with neurodivergent individuals.
Bespoke Mental Health Canada is approved by the Canadian Psychological Association to offer continuing education for psychologists. Bespoke Mental Health Canada maintains responsibility for the program.
Participants completing this workshop, live or on-demand, are eligible to receive 3 CE credits.

The Centre for Posttraumatic Stress & Anxiety Treatment is pleased to announce a four-day intensive online training workshop in Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.
PE is a manualized cognitive-behavioural treatment for PTSD with an extensive base of empirical support.

Topics covered:
• Assessment, diagnosis and psychopathology of PTSD;
• Empirically-supported psychotherapeutic treatments for chronic PTSD and their comparative efficacy;
• Emotional Processing Theory and its relation to PE;
• Implementation of the components of PE, including psychoeducation, breathing retraining, in vivo exposure to trauma reminders, imaginal exposure to trauma memories, and processing of exposures;
• Identification and management of obstacles to effective emotional processing, including avoidance, over-engagement, and under-engagement;
Video vignettes will illustrate the various components of PE, and participants will have an opportunity to practice selected interventions in pairs during break-out sessions.
Intended audience:
Licensed mental health professionals or those working under the supervision of a licensed mental health professional. Previous training and experience with cognitive-behavioural therapy is strongly advised.
