Presentation: Behavioral Health professionals have become increasingly aware of the importance of integrating the 10 principles of Trauma Informed Care into all aspects of interventions that are designed to promote social, psychological, physical and spiritual well-being. Research has also demonstrated how Strengths-Based, Person-Centered practice may generate increased proactive goal attainment on the part of a diverse group of service participants. In this workshop, Dr. Kisthardt demonstrates how the principles of Trauma Informed Care are inextricably linked to, and supported by, the principles of the Strengths Perspective in Social Work Practice. Participants then will explore how to consciously incorporate strategies into their work that increase the level of participant engagement in the interpersonal helping process; how to utilize the Person-Centered Strengths Assessment to assure attention to addressing how trauma may impact current and future goal attainment; and how the use of collaborative planning and documentation on the Personal Wellness/Recovery Plan promotes movement at the participants’ own pace and attends to positive, hopeful accomplishments that fuel recovery. Those who have attended Dr. Kisthardt’s workshops over the years have reported feeling affirmed, challenged, informed, aware of creative ideas to incorporate in challenging situations, while at the same time have fun in the process.

Presentation: Age is not a factor when it comes to the emergence of mental disorders, yet there is little reliable data that addresses the use of psychiatric medication in children and adolescents. A few of the many possible headwinds associated with this include: Maturational and developmental issues regarding how young people respond to psychiatric medication; safety factors; sensitivity to side effects and the vulnerability of youth to diagnostic fads. This presentation will address the mental disorders that typically emerge during childhood and adolescence together with their medication management.

Presentation: With medication management playing an increasingly pivotal role in the treatment of mental disorders, the challenges faced by clinicians are increasing. You may be working with clients who are neither in a program of monitored drug use nor being treated with a combination of medication and psychotherapy. Under these conditions, it is essential for all healthcare professionals, particularly those providing mental health services, to have a working knowledge of psychiatric medications. This program will examine the disorders you are likely to encounter in clinical practice – depression, bipolar, anxiety, psychosis and ADHD – accompanied by a discussion of the medication management of these disorders.

Presentation: Our presentation will focus on learning how to use a humorous approach in reframing traumatic events to eliminate the negative emotions attached to them. We present facts about mental illness and how to identify signs of loved ones, co-workers who are suffering in silence. We will share our personal stories of how we have battled and overcome mental illness in our own personal and professional lives. Our presentation is engaging, funny and a VERY unique approach to dealing with a subject as challenging as mental illness. Furthermore, we have the audience break up into subgroup to work through and experience a taste of the material we have developed for our FULL workshop. Participants will be able to take back and to incorporate these exercises in their own daily lives.

Presentation: This workshop covers the special needs and barriers faced by persons who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning/queer, intersex and asexual/agender (LGBTQIA) when they seek treatment for substance use disorders. Research showing the high rates of substance use disorders, mental health issues and suicide among persons who are LGBTQIA is examined. Information is provided about how trauma from family and/or community rejection, bullying, and internalized shame is often at the root of many of these problems. The difference between sexual orientation and gender identity is addressed along with the need for client identity to be addressed in the context of treatment. The training provides practitioners and administrators knowledge about the interaction between LGBTQIA issues and substance use disorders and how to offer sensitive and affirmative treatment to LGBTQIA individuals. A panel of persons who are part of the LGBTQIA community will be included in the presentation.

It will teach individuals about change talk, how to use change talk with difficult consumers, and allow for the opportunity to practice change talk with others around them. This presentation aims to help individuals working in any field to identify how to help resistant consumers move in the direction of positive change.
