Continuing Education

Dr. Walker is continuously involved in continuing education, both providing it and as a learner. For example, she is a student in the New Directions Writing Program for mental health professionals who are writers honing her skills as she writes fiction. She travels around the world helping to design better protection for abused women and children. Recently she has been to Peru, Costa Rica, Italy, Prague, and Israel.

Some of the upcoming programs in 2019 and 2020 are participating at the American Psychological Association conference in Chicago, traveling to Spain, and attending conferences in DC. She and Dr. Shapiro are putting together a webinar to accompany their new book, Forensic Psychology for the Mental Health Clinician. As Chair of the APA Working Group on PTSD and Trauma, she is working on developing professional guidelines for mental health practitioners.

She will be continuing her work in organizing the trauma program for Innovative Professional CEs, the company she is partnered with Dr. Rachel Needle. Putting together the videos for this venture has been an exciting venture. We are hoping to launch it by the beginning of 2020.
