The Department of Counseling and Human Services will hold a Dialectical Behavior Therapy seminar Saturday, October 24 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Grupp Fireside Lounge. Attendees will gain an understanding of Borderline Personality Disorder (BDP) as well as how to work with those affected with BPD and self-injurious behavior.
This counseling seminar will provide a broad understanding of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and the populations most appropriate for this approach. This workshop will provide attendees with an understanding of how Borderline Personality Disorder develops and how to identify those young clients at risk for this diagnosis.
Attendees will be provided with mini-assessment guidelines and specific intervention tools for helping clients to modulate their emotions as well as specific “do’s” and “don’ts” of working with this population.
The price to attend is $25.00 for Canisius College students. Lunch is also included. If you have any questions, call 888-3298 or email Dr. Holly Fetter at tanigosh@canisius.edu.

Over the summer, ITS and the FacTS Center brought to campus Qualtrics, a new advanced online survey application.
The old online survey tool, Checkbox, will no longer be available after Wednesday, September 30. Checkbox users need to export and archive their Checkbox data, including surveys, responses and reports to another location by that time. This data will not be retrievable once Checkbox is removed.
You can access Qualtrics by going to my.canisius.edu, where in All Applications and Services you will find the Qualtrics icon. The FacTS Center will run workshops during the fall to help users get acquainted with Qualtrics. For users with long surveys, a conversion process is available that can move question text from Checkbox to Qualtrics. For links to text and video tutorials and our workshop signup sheet, go to canisius.edu/surveys.
Please contact Mark Gallimore at Ext. 8353 with questions or further information.
