Saturday, March 31, 2018 | LA 105 | 9 am-4:30 pm | $110

Trauma, Attachment, Loss and Narrative Therapy: Cross-Cultural Trauma Treatment (6 CEUs) Trauma has debilitating effects in the human life cycle. “Human encounters with violence, abuse, atrocity, and catastrophe are widespread, and the psychological consequences of such exposure are often debilitating in the extreme� (Harvey et. al., 2012). At the core of such encounters is a strong sense of disruption and loss at various levels including physical, emotional, spiritual and psychic integrity. The presentation will seek to underscore loss across attachments and the need to engage story and the use of a cross-cultural bereavement lens.

Introduction to Mental Health Neuroscience (3 CEUs) Research on neuroscience has expanded over the past few decades. The profession has been slow to engage in the acquisition of knowledge on neuroscience. Clinical social workers have an ethical responsibility to stay current with evidence-based research. This includes valuing competence and that of being a lifelong learner. The ability to provide client systems with up-to-date information and psychoeducation is essential and is considered ethical practice. This workshop will provide attendees with up to date information on basic brain anatomy, function, and link this knowledge to various mental health conditions.

Trauma 101: Definition, Effects and the Impact of Trauma on Children and Families (3 CEUs) Social workers and helping professionals are regularly called to work with clients who have been exposed to traumatic events such as violent crime, natural disasters, domestic violence, and child abuse. Such traumatic experiences create disequilibrium that can result in mental health issues including (but not limited to) acute stress disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder. This workshop provides a foundation for understanding trauma and considers the impact of trauma on urban children and families. Trauma-informed interventions will be examined.

Supervising in Times of Trauma (6 CEUs) This interactive workshop will introduce a conceptual and practice framework to identify, analyze and intervene in organizational crises. Whether the organization is experiencing internal or external trauma, the reverberations are often experienced in relational disturbances with potentially lasting effects. We will explore and apply a framework for analyzing the relational health of organizational systems, drawing on systems theory, trauma intervention and relational-cultural theory to help define the dimensions of relational systems. Leadership skill sets will be explored as a practical model to prevent organizational trauma and restore pro-resilient practices to organizations.

Multisystemic Equity in Social Work Practice: Inquiry and Change (3 CEUs) Advancing equity and social justice is one of the primary tenets of the social work profession, thus the integration of social equity and social action into all areas of social work practice is essential. Social workers are expected to enact individual, interpersonal, institutional, and structural social change with the purpose of eradicating multisystemic privilege and oppression. Due to our socialization experiences and limitations in our professional training, we often struggle with this important task. This interactive workshop will offer participants opportunities to use reflection to assess and modify their practice.
