NBASW Webinar: Beyond Stereotypes: Understanding autism differently
Thu, Feb. 26, 2026 12:00pm — 1:00pm

Autism is still widely understood through persistent stereotypes, often reinforced by media portrayals, social narratives, and institutional practices. These limited perspectives contribute to the invisibility of many autistic profiles, including adults, women, older adults, and individuals from marginalized communities, and can significantly affect access to services, well-being, and social recognition.
This webinar explores autism beyond stereotypes, offering a more nuanced and inclusive understanding of the diversity of autistic experiences. Grounded in a neuroaffirming and person-centered approach, it invites participants to reconsider how autism is understood, discussed, and addressed in community and professional settings.
Particular attention is given to the importance of language, the recognition of strengths, and the inclusion of autistic voices. The webinar aims to support the development of practices and perspectives that promote inclusion, dignity, and meaningful participation of autistic individuals within the community.
This webinar is designed to support participants in learning about and engaging with:
-Autism as a form of neurological diversity, beyond common stereotypes and misconceptions;
-Common stereotypes about autism and their impact on inclusion, recognition, and access to services;
-The diversity of autistic profiles, experiences, an support needs;
-The importance of a neuroaffirming and person-centered approach;
-The role of language, attitudes, and inclusive practices in promoting dignity and social participation of autistic individuals. -
Learning to Use the Beck Cognitive Therapy Scale Revised: Implications for Training and Supervision.
Thu, Feb. 26, 2026 1:00pm — 2:30pm
In this interactive virtual webinar, participants will learn to use the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale- Revised (CTRS-R) for training and supervision purposes. The revised scale contains the same eleven items as the original scale developed by Young and Beck (1981) with refined criteria that specify skills for demonstrating competence in delivering CBT. Dr. Miller will provide the rationale for the alignment of theory and research in the development of the CTRS-R and give examples of different skill levels for each item. The webinar will be presented such that it will be appropriate for new therapists as well as seasoned supervisors.
Learning Objectives
• Participants will be able to explain the alignment of theory, research, and practice as it related to the CTRS-R
• Participants will be able to use the CTRS-R to teach CBT skills
• Participants will be able to use the CTRS-R to evaluate therapist competency in CBT

The Safety & Repair Approach to gender based violence
Mar. 25 — Apr. 8, 2026 10:30am — 5:30pm
Gender Based Violence Intervention Training - for Practitioners and Counsellors
The training addresses gender based violence, including intimate partner violence, sexual assault and sexual harassment. It introduces individual practitioners and organizations to a process to address gender based violence which seeks to repair harm without creating more harm. The approach often involves two practitioners, one assisting each person involved through the 3-Phase process.
Practitioners will learn about how to address the four components of repair at each phase. The four components of repair involve:
- acknowledging the details of the abuse;
- creating a plan to stop the abuse;
- acknowledging the effects of the abuse and
- creating a future plan to repair the effects of abuse.
