Treating Nine Classic Types of Relationships

Speaker(s):

John Carpenter, MSW, LCSW

Presentation:

When any two people seek to have a meaningful, loving relationship, there are many factors which can interfere, distract, or deteriorate their efforts to succeed. Couples face interfering relatives, cultural differences, strong but often different values, blended family challenges, the dividing effect of manipulative children, addictions, and emotional distractions — not to forget the individual needs and personality dynamics of each individual. Sound too complicated or overwhelming?

This presentation will clearly illustrate nine classic formations of couples with their challenges based upon emotional distance caused by the types of interference just mentioned. Using wonderful illustrations, role plays, and visual props to demonstrate their dynamics. The ways to rebalance or treat these relationships will become very clear and easy to adopt. These nine types of couples should encompass every possible relationship you can imagine — including your own!

Objectives:

  1. Identify and comprehend each type of the nine couples
  2. Understand what forces / factors interfere with each type of couple
  3. Describe the basic treatment needs of each couple
  4. Learn visual and experiential techniques to assess and help each couple

Best Practices for Working with Urban Girls with Challenging Attitudes

Speaker(s):

Angela Gray, MSW, EdS

Presentation:

Teen girls from urban backgrounds often display challenging attitudes as defense mechanisms to hide the pain or trauma that has impacted their lives. Girls in pain are often misunderstood as simply “trouble makers,” without unpacking the root causes of the behaviors.

This interactive workshop will provide a lens to better understand teen girls’ urban experience. We discuss both internal and external factors-including low self-esteem, depression and anxiety, bullying, and the pressures they absorb from social media, music videos, and explicit songs. The workshop includes lecture, role play, and group sharing to enhance participants’ skills to empower teen girls.

1.   Define attitude and how it relates to teen girls from urban backgrounds   

2.   Explore how self-esteem impacts teen girls   

3.   Explore the correlation of stress and poverty affects teen girls   

4.   Explore negative self-talk and negative thinking of teen girls
