100% of Proceeds to go to Dr. Don Meichenbaum

Join us for this special 3-hour live webinar — the final presentation from Dr. Don Meichenbaum — as he reflects on his life’s work and shares the key strategies that distinguish “expert” psychotherapists. This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the most influential figures in the field and discover how to apply these principles in your own practice.

Even with decades of research and innovation, relapse remains a major challenge in mental health and addiction treatment. Up to 75% of individuals with substance use disorders relapse within three months, and nearly 50% drop out of treatment. Research shows that some therapists are dramatically more effective — achieving up to 50% better outcomes and significantly lower dropout rates.

In this evidence-informed webinar, Dr. Meichenbaum will reveal what these highly effective therapists do differently. He will outline the Core Tasks of Psychotherapy — a practical framework designed to foster lasting change, reduce relapse risk, and improve treatment outcomes.

Participants will gain skills to:

  • Conduct integrative, culturally and gender-sensitive interventions for PTSD, depression, suicidality, and substance abuse

  • Address the link between trauma, victimization, and substance use in treatment planning

  • Integrate spirituality and 12-Step approaches with psychotherapy for holistic, sustainable recovery

  • Enhance client engagement and resilience while lowering dropout rates

This final presentation promises to be an inspiring, practical, and deeply meaningful learning experience — equipping you with tools to create lasting change for your clients.
