EXPERT ALERTS:

Supreme Court's Ruling in Masterpiece Cakeshop Case
Richard E. Levy
J.B. Smith Distinguished Professor of Constitutional Law
University of Kansas
Based in Lawrence, Kan., Levy can discuss the Supreme Court's ruling in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, what the ruling means, precedent, constitutional law and related topics: "The Supreme Court found in favor of the baker in this case on very narrow grounds, focusing on evidence that the state agency discriminated against the baker because of his religion. In other words, the opinion does not stand for the general proposition that states must make exceptions to their anti-discrimination laws for deeply held religious beliefs."

June is PTSD Awareness Month
Kelly Breeding
Executive Director
ART International
With June being PTSD Awareness Month, an emerging therapy has demonstrated proven results in treating individuals with PTSD. Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which continues to gain popularity nationwide, aims to resolve a traumatic memory through a combination of relaxation and memory visualization. This treatment provides effective relief from strong physical and emotional reactions associated with PTSD in as few as one to five sessions, with the average being four sessions. The therapy's distinct features include use of horizontal eye movements and memory reconsolidation, which is a way in which new information is incorporated into existing memories. Says Breeding: "PTSD is a debilitating health issue that creates feelings of isolation, anger, depression, anxiety and confusion. Accelerated Resolution Therapy offers patients experiencing symptoms of PTSD an evidence-based psychotherapy that has produced dramatic improvements. ART International aims to recruit and train more therapists nationwide in this therapy, so that as many individuals struggling with PTSD have the access they need to get help with this therapy."
Breeding is executive director of ART International, a foundation that is interested in expanding the reach of Accelerated Resolution Therapy. ART International specifically focuses on increasing the number of clinicians certified in this treatment. To do this, they are hosting more than 100 training sessions in the country this year to certify local therapists in this therapy. Breeding is a clinical social worker with extensive experience in building community partnerships, non-profit leadership, fundraising, and program development. Her clinical practice has afforded her the opportunity to work among diverse populations with a specialization in trauma and life transitions as well as providing community out-reach for at-risk individuals and families. Breeding earned her B.A. in Communications and her Master's degree in Social Work from the University of South Florida, and has been trained in mindfulness-based therapies and applied behavior analysis. She maintains a strong conviction for working with individuals involved in systems of care that face challenges throughout the context of their lives. In February 2016, Breeding was selected to be the executive director of ART International Training and Research, Inc. where she oversees all policies and procedures and strategic and operational responsibility for ART International's programs, expansion, and execution of its mission. She is based in Tampa, Fla.
