4 CE LIVE ONLINE TRAINING: From Here to Empathy: A Nonviolent Communication Training, with Tina Taylor, RN, MS

Time and place: October 24, 2026 from 10am to 2:30pm; Online via Zoom.

Cost to Attend: $100 for EBHA members: $125 for non-members

Training Description: Nonviolent Communication was developed during the 1960s in direct response to anti-Semitism and anti-Black racism. The principles of NVC are heavily influenced by the Gandhian principle of nonviolence and the work of Martin Luther King Jr., focusing on fostering compassionate, empathetic connection rather than blame or judgment. Nonviolent communication is a proven strategy for effecting positive change in organizations, interpersonal relationships, and one’s own internal experience. NVC principles have been used effectively to combat echo chambers, reach across political divides, and even deprogram cult members. In our polarized society, these skills are needed more than ever.

As a result of participation in this workshop, participants will:

(1) Help clients separate facts (Observations) from opinions (Evaluations)

(2) Guide clients to look past blame to identify their Feelings and Needs

(3) Teach individual, couple, and family clients how to ask for what they want using clear, actionable Requests in place of demands

(4) Apply NVC tools to help clients practice self-compassion, problem-solve issues in relationships, and reduce deep-seated shame

(5) Apply NVC tools to help clinicians access self-empathy to enhance their own well-being and support their Needs

Speaker: Tina Taylor is a Registered Nurse with her Masters in Counseling. She owns Stress Solutions LLC, a private practice in Corvallis, Oregon, where her consulting centers on NVC. She has also worked as a mediator in the Small Claims Court, and spent 10 years teaching NVC to inmates at the Oregon State Penitentiary. She is a dancer and yogini, a speaker and writer, and is passionate about bringing NVC to you in a fun, grounded, and practical way.

EBHA EML (Eat, Meet, & Learn) - Thursday 9/24 from 6:30-8:00pm: Preparing your Professional Executorship in case of Death, Incapacity or Incarceration

As we consider how our clients' needs will be met in the event that we become unexpectedly unavailable, creating a plan is crucial. This plan is a board and ethical mandate, and yet many of us feel overwhelmed and underprepared by the prospect. Ms. Grove will share what she has learned about the professional executorship process, with considerations for maintaining long-term records, streamlining the impact on our executors, and ensuring confidentiality and support for our clients.

Presenter bio: Sarah Elizabeth Grove is an LCSW who has practiced in both Tennessee and Oregon. She worked with an attorney in Tennessee for her initial professional executorship process and has continued to refine her documents and process. She runs a private therapy practice in Albany and continues to see Tennessee clients via telehealth.

When: Thursday, September 24, 6:30-8:00pm (half hour social time, presentation 7-8pm)

Where: Corvallis Community Center, 2601 NW Tyler Ave. in Corvallis, in the Willow Room

Attendees are welcome to bring their own dinner or snacks to enjoy during the event.

This event is free for active EBHA members. For non-members, the attendance/registration fee is $10. To register, visit: https://www.ebhaipa.org/events

Save the date for the second annual Mid-Valley Mental Health Summit: Saturday, October 3, 2026 at the CH2M Hill Alumni Center at Oregon State University.

It's a full day conference with multiple sessions focused on child, adolescent, and adult mental health and is appropriate for all mental health professionals, providers of psychiatric services, nurses, and physicians. It is sponsored by Samaritan Health Services that is accredited by the Washington State Medical Association to provide continuing education to physicians.

Last year, I earned 6.75 hours of continuing education that met the criteria set by the Oregon Board of Psychology, and I believe the same would be true for LPCs and LMFTs. Social Workers may need to submit the conference information to their Board for approval.

The conference organizers are seeking a speaker for 45-60 minutes on the following topics:

- Cultural considerations for su***de screening and prevention
- OCD & anxiety, particularly for rural populations

If interested in presenting on these topics, please contact Kalah McVay at [email protected].
