ISSTD is thrilled to launch our third annual Ask the Experts Series – Benefitting the Fridley Fund. This online series is EXCLUSIVELY available to ISSTD Members!
Ask the Expert is a series of six, one and a half hour sessions that will occur throughout the year featuring a different expert or experts within the Complex Trauma and Dissociation field. Each virtual session is an opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion with each professional within a small group setting. Do not worry if you missed our first sessions with Emma Sunshaw as there is still time to register before Session #2, so you don’t have to miss out on conversing with any of the future experts in the series!
All proceeds from this series support the Fridley Fund, which helps students pursuing a mental health related degree who may otherwise be unable to afford it, access essential training in the treatment of complex trauma and dissociation. By registering, you’re not just gaining valuable insights. You’re directly empowering future clinicians to make a difference in the lives of those they will work with.
Register for the AM or the PM series to ensure you do not miss out on a minute of engaging and informal discussion with seasoned professionals! Below please see all the upcoming sessions you won’t want to miss!

Please prepare general questions for the experts, and if you are seeking patient consultation time, you will need to seek that out on an individual basis.
