CLE Trainings

Our team of experts at Lorio Forensics provides CLE talks for legal teams, judges, and other professionals who work in the justice system. LF experts have a nexus of academic credentials, clinical expertise, and court consultation experience across a wide range of disciplines and topics. As such, we are able to synthesize peer-reviewed science and real-life applications relevant to our audiences. In addition, our clinicians have diverse professional backgrounds and areas of expertise, including but not limited to psychiatry, social work, psychology, early childhood development, trauma and complex trauma, addiction, child & adolescent mental health, neuropsychology, and social determinants/drivers of health. Training needs and audiences are dynamic, and our breadth and depth of expertise equips us to deliver tailored and high-quality trainings.

Lorio Forensics experts have given CLE lectures related to numerous topics, including but not limited to adolescent development, trauma and adverse childhood experiences, psychological testing, Antisocial Personality Disorder, secondary traumatic stress for officers of the court, effectively engaging mental health experts, and culturally and structurally informed approaches to forensic mental health. Many of our clinicians hold academic appointments and are highly experienced lecturers who are knowledgeable of adult learning .

Our firm has a national reputation for quality and excellence, which is why we’re called on to conduct trainings year round, repeatedly lending our expertise to bar associations, judge trainings, and attorney conferences. In fact, LF founder and principal consultant, Dr. Sarah Y. Vinson, is one of just four national co-chairs – and two psychiatrists – for the Judges and Psychiatrists Leadership Initiative (JPLI), a collaboration between the Council for State Governments and the American Psychiatric Association Foundation that has trained over 4,000 judges across the country.

The Lorio Forensics experts are committed to remaining on the cutting edge of theory and practice at the intersection of the law and mental health, and are excited to explore opportunities for collaboration in line with your organization’s needs.

Peer Consultation

Forensic mental health consultation is a niche field and the stakes can be high. Many forensic mental health consultants are in solo practice. And at times, opportunities in the field are made available to clinicians who have not had formal forensic training. Even for moderately experienced consultants, new cases may come with novel questions or situations that could benefit from a colleague’s perspective. For these reasons, Lorio Forensics’ senior consultants are available, on a case by case basis, to consult with colleagues. In order to schedule a complimentary 15 minute introduction call, please contact us at Admin@LorioForensics.com. During the call, there will be a conflict check, brief introduction to the case, exploration on if/how a peer consultant can be helpful, and discussion of fees.
