Upcoming Trainings
|
|
Dr.
Garber provides continuing
education training to educators,
mental health, legal, and family
law professionals around the
world. Format (in-person, live
video feed, and/or
video-recorded), duration
(two-day, one-day, keynote, or
brief), and topic vary by
audience need, timing, and
resources.
Dr. Garber uses PowerPoint(TM)
uniquely to capture complex
concepts as easily understood
visual metaphors. His
presentations are entertaining,
engaging, challenging, and
practical. Across topics and
settings and modalities, Dr.
Garber's goal is to improve
participants' here-and-now,
hands-on ability to better
understand and serve the needs
of children.
|
Participants
in upcoming trainings are encouraged
to access
conference-specific
materials in advance of
the conference date. These
materials will remain
available through the
conference date for
on-site access and
following the conference
date depending on the
host's preferences.

|
Is
your group planning a
continuing education program?
|
Dr. Garber will
be glad to discuss possible
formats, topics,
and how best to engage and
educate your targeted audience.
Costs will include
stipend, travel, room, board, and
comfort when appropriate to
format.
Dr. Garber's stipend will depend
on your group's resources,
how much time will be required in
preparation,
and how much time will be
necessary away from the office.
When Dr. Garber travels to conduct
trainings,
its often cost-efficient to
schedule an advanced small group
consultation prior to
(e.g., an informal breakfast Q and
A) and/or following the large
group event.
Examples of past
training events include:
Tune up your
PPEs:
Innovations that can
improve
efficiency, efficacy,
and ecological validity
This very
practical training helps
evaluators improve parenting
plan evaluation (PPE)
satisfaction, efficiency,
efficacy, and ecological
validity by integrating five
peer-reviewed, innovative
process-oriented data
collection methods.

|
Advance
Orientation (AO)
improves efficacy, efficiency,
ecological validity,
and consumer satisfaction
When consumers
of a service participate in an
advance orientation to that
service,
they are more satisfied and
the service is more efficient
and effective. T
his program introduces ADVANCE
ORIENTATION to family law
and the extensive research
that demonstrates the value of
DEFUSEdivorce.com
programming.

Resist/Refuse
Dynamics
and the Polarized Child
Dr. Garber introduces an
evaluative rubric that helps
to minimize bias, avoid
premature closure,
and assure that the full
spectrum of dynamics and
practical pressures are
examined.
The "Five Factor Model"
intended to determine the
presence of alienating
behaviors
is critiqued as biased and
circular.
|
 |
Sampling
Relationship Dynamics:
Considering the goals and
methods of
behavioral observations in
CCEs
Evaluators are expected to
rely upon diverse methods.
This full day training
examines how best to
realistically sample family
relationships,
emphasizing a process-oriented
protocol.
|
 |
Dynamics,
not Diagnoses:
Focusing the family law lens
on relationship "fit"
Mental health professionals
working in family law often
inadvertently apply the
medical model
of individual diagnosis into
the courtroom. Family law is
about relationship dynamics,
not individual diagnoses. Of
particular interest is the
value of individual adult
psychometrics
(i.e., tests, inventories) in
family law matters.
|
 |
Structure
diminishes Anxiety:
Assessing and imposing
roles, limits, boundaries,
and routines in
conflicted family systems
Understanding the structures
that define each family, the
structures that define your
practice,
and the structures inherent
in the judicial system is
critical to our success
evaluating and intervening
in the best interests of
each child.

In-person?
Remote? Hybrid?
|
Reaching the largest
audience possible benefits your group
and your community.
Dr. Garber is comfortable in all three
formats and invites creative solutions
that
optimize professional participation and
development.
Can
I record Dr. Garber's
presentation
for later use?
|
In most cases, yes.
Terms and limits associated with
technology may apply.
Dr. Garber is an
engaged and engaging in-person speaker.
He very strongly prefers NOT to stand at
a lectern
and instead prefers to walk among
participants,
eliciting contributions and answering
questions.
In many in-person settings, this
requires a lavalier wireless microphone
and camera mobility when the program is
video-recorded.
Distance programming (webinars)
are preferably hosted via ZoomTM.
Whenever possible, Dr. Garber will
provide program participants with
advance access to relevant publications,
assessment tools, and associated
resources.
