Williamsburg Place Lecture Series
The Farley Center and The Pavilion host monthly professional workshops for area providers. These cutting edge presentations feature information on addiction, ethics, dual diagnosis, co-dependency, military and addiction, eating disorders, assessment, and process disorders. Workshops are held on the 4th Friday of each month from 9:00 am -11:00 am on the campus of Williamsburg Place.

Clinicians are often faced with clients who seek help for sexual activities or drug and alcohol abuse. Understanding how to assess for problematic sexual behavior can help clinicians understand treatment planning and goals.

This presentation will help clinicians understand what exactly problematic sexual behaviors are, how to discuss them, assess for them and begin to treatment plan. This overwhelming topic area will become less cumbersome and clinicians will find themselves armed for anything.

Learn the basics around diagnostic issues surrounding problematic sexual behaviors.

Learn how to assess for problematic sexual behaviors.
