Overview

COVID 19 has changed the landscape of how we practice and provide mental health services. This innovative workshop will provide you with tools for your toolbox to provide services to your clients and patients. To begin our day, we will look at suicide prevention in a pandemic – reviewing warning signs, pandemic trends, and resources. Another challenge the pandemic brought was pivoting overnight from in person therapy sessions to vastly telehealth sessions. Christie Landstrom LCSW, will focus on some of the challenges of practicing CBT via Telehealth, and will give us some best practices and resources to help you improve your skills as you continue to conduct telehealth sessions. Adding another unique tool to your toolbox, Griffin Smith, LCSW, will provide an overview of MBT and show its usefulness in behavioral health. The afternoon will include an exploration of trauma, resilience and safe spaces with Kirsten Infinger LCSW, as well as techniques for individual therapy sessions, “trauma group” exercises, and supporting each other (yes, you!) through macro level times of trauma (e.g. pandemic). Kirsten will review the Ethics of Self Care and why it’s critical to make sure that as helping professionals, we are putting on our oxygen masks first! Ending our day of learning we have Victoria Griffin, LPC, presenting on building professional and personal resiliency to lead a thriving multicontextual lifestyle. The presentation will be infused with ethical perspectives and discussions throughout.
Overview

The second day of this two-day conference will continue to provide “tools for your behavioral health toolbox”. Our innovative workshop today will be focusing on behavioral addictions. The question is no longer “can you be addicted to behaviors?” but instead, “what is the best way to address behavioral addictions in clinical work?” This presentation will provide an overview of behavioral addictions with a specific focus on seven potentially addictive behaviors: internet gaming, social media, sex, pornography/cybersex, gambling, non-suicidal self-injury, and food. Attendees will learn how to recognize behavioral addictions, become familiar with assessment instruments, and explore ethical issues and treatment considerations. Presented by expert author and associate professor of counseling at the University of Georgia, Amanda Giordano, PhD, LPC, this is an engaging, informative and eye-opening day of learning you won’t want to miss!
