Workshop Level: Introductory- Psychologists who have little or no background in a specialized skill or content area, but do hold a doctorate degree

In June 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States rendered their verdict on a case called Dobbs, that ended up overturning nearly 50 years of precedent in Roe vs Wade, and enabling each state to decide what (if any) restrictions it would impose on abortion care. This decision has reverberated across the country and has shown its impact on clients in ways that might be surprising to clinicians, particularly those that don't work within the reproductive health space. This workshop will explore the impact this decision has had within its first year of being law.

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Discuss the impact of the Dobbs decision on a variety of populations

2) Identify how this ruling affects the mental health of those that are directly and indirectly affected
