Approaches to Mental Health Wellness Friday, September 11, 2015

Keep calm and shine on!

Notes

Come with an open mind and stay mindful as you engage in a fun and inspirational atmosphere. Discover a host of complementary methods. Learn what Reiki, music, art, happiness, service dogs and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) have in common.

Good mental health helps us focus at work, cope with problems, get along with people, and provide a feeling of well-being and inner strength. Many behavioral health professionals and health care systems are integrating various practices with origins outside of mainstream mental health and medicine into treatment and health promotion. Learn how psychologists, counselors, therapists, holistic practitioners and health professionals emphasize treating the person as a whole – mind, body, and spirit. These complementary methods can be used in conjunction with psychotherapy or medications to address the physical, psychological and spiritual needs of individuals.

You will be informed, inspired and touched by local professionals who are experts in the field of complementary mental health and will share their enriching presentations and stories.

Reiki and Massage for Peace of Mind and Healing

Dino Hayz, LMT, BCMTB, and Certified Usui and Karuna Reiki teacher

We live in a society that is constantly pulling its human population away from a peaceful, centered experience of this beautiful gift of life. The benefits of Reiki as a spiritual practice and frequent massage are becoming better known, but often overlooked in our fast-paced world. Learn the gentle practice of acceptance and shifting your awareness to a larger, more energetic component of yourself in the form of Reiki. Also learn the therapeutic effects that massage and other forms of bodywork have on our physical habitation and immune system.

Individuals can experience so much more peace and ease in their lives by initiating a 10-minute daily practice of energy work, along with a monthly massage. Come and see what you’ve been missing!

Dino has been teaching Reiki, meditation and massage therapy for the past 12 years at Black Hawk College and other area institutions. He is the owner and creative director of The Center for Living Arts in Rock Island, IL, where he has been encouraging the growth of the creative spirit in youth for nine years.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Lynn Garvin-Huntley, Ph.D.

“Positive Psychology” explores the differences between happy and unhappy people and teaches us ways to become happier people. Lynn has come to realize that despite suffering, many people find a way to be happy. She has also observed that despite good fortune and blessings, many people find a way to be unhappy. She wants us to remember, “Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.”

Lynn graduated from Syracuse University with a master’s degree and Ph.D. in clinical

psychology and has been in practice for 22 years. She is interested in helping people

with issues of adjustment – women’s adjustment to motherhood, men and

women’s adjustment to marriage and parenthood, and parents’ adjustment to

parenting adolescent children. Her focus of treatment is on alleviating distress and

enhancing personal well-being. Lynn provides psychological services to individuals

suffering from depression, anxiety, grief and postpartum depression. She also has a

special interest in treating the psychological aspects of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.

Art Gives a Voice When There Are No Words

Laura Vincent-Arnold, MS ATR-QMHP

Georgia O’Keefe once said, “I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.” Art therapy as a profession is relatively new, beginning in the 1940s. However, art has been used as therapy, to communicate, and in mental health research long before it became recognized as its own individual mental health profession. This program will briefly cover what art therapy is and how it is being implemented throughout both medical and mental health fields. Laura will draw from her professional experiences and share the benefits of combining both talk and expressive therapy techniques.

Laura is a Rock Island County native who completed her master’s degree in art

therapy from Mount Mary College in Milwaukee, WI, in 2002. She has worked with a variety of populations including those living with dementia, survivors of sexual and domestic violence, individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities, and substance abuse. For the past 2½ years, she has been an outpatient mental health therapist with the Robert Young Center.

11:30 a.m.–12:25 p.m.

Enjoy lunch, networking and relaxation!

Upper east lobby

12:30–1:25 p.m.

EMDR and Recovery

Jan Willis, MS, LCPC

The mind can heal itself naturally, in the same way as the body does. Much of the

natural process of healing occurs during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

Francine Shapiro developed Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

(EMDR) in 1987, utilizing this natural mechanism to successfully treat

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Since then, EMDR has become the “gold

standard” for treating a wide range of mental health problems.

Jan’s treatment approach honors the mind/body/spirit approach to healing the

entire self. Trained after 9/11, Jan has been a trauma specialist for 10 years, using

eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) as a successful treatment

for patients ages 6-75. Jan teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal

skills and crisis intervention (dialectical behavioral therapy). She also uses cognitive

behavioral therapy, the gold-standard for mood disorders, to treat depression and

anxiety disorders. Jan offers faith-based therapy for those who choose.

1:25–1:30 p.m.

Peaceful break

1:30–2:25 p.m.

Mixing Music and Mental Health: The Benefits of Music Therapy

Music is an integral part of our society and our lives. Music can energize us or soothe us. It can make us angry or be a positive source of coping. Certain memories can even be paired with certain songs. Participants will learn what music therapy is, how one becomes a music therapist, and where music therapists can work. More in-depth topics will be addressed such as music therapy in substance abuse, depression and other mental health areas.

Participants will have an opportunity for hands-on music making in addition to learning how music therapists can become part of the interdisciplinary team.

Kelly L. Carlson, MA, MT-BC West Music Company

Kelly is the director of music therapy services with West Music. She has worked

with a wide range of individuals including children with autism, adults with intellectual disabilities, individuals in an inpatient substance abuse facility, adults with neurologic impairments including stroke and traumatic brain injury as well as individuals in hospice during end-of-life care.

Psychiatric Service Dogs

Hillary Plog, President and head trainer for Quad Cities Canine Assistance Network, Inc. (QC CAN) Accompanied by QC CAN assistant trainers and psychiatric service dogs in training.

A professional service dog trainer from Quad Cities Canine Assistance Network,

Hillary discusses the fascinating world of training service dogs for people with

psychiatric conditions. She will discuss the different types of psychiatric service

dogs, how they are trained, what they can be trained to mitigate, and the delicate

process behind determining whether someone is a good candidate for one.

In March 1998, Hillary Plog was critically injured in a car accident from a drunk

driver. She sustained a spinal cord injury from the accident and was faced with having to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life. After her accident and subsequent rehabilitation, Hillary set out to move every mountain that she could that stood in her way of accomplishing her goal of becoming an accomplished dog trainer, obedience instructor and founder, president and head trainer for QC CAN! After more than a decade of dedication and education, Hillary is an AKC-approved Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, Animal Behavior College Mentor Trainer and a STAR Award Recipient from THE National Bank. Apart from her obvious love for giving back to the disabled community by training service dogs, Hillary is a passionate and dedicated school teacher to students at the elementary through junior high level. She has an innate love for children and believes that she can touch the lives of people both through her service dog training and her school teaching on a lifelong level.
