SUMMARY:Serious Mental Illness Recovery: Seeing the Person Not the Stereotype
DESCRIPTION:Serious Mental Illness Recovery: Seeing the Person Not the Stereotype\nChristina Silas\nSerious mental illness (SMI) is heavily stigmatized by the public and within healthcare systems. This stigma can be a barrier to treatment and recovery\, negatively impacting the person\, their family\, and the community. Becoming aware of the stigmatizing beliefs of clinicians and acknowledging implicit bias exists among clinicians is imperative to the success of treatment. \nThrough formulating and practicing an integrative approach to treatment\, people with SMI can receive ethical and competent care. Social workers often serve at the forefront of care for vulnerable populations and can act as effective agents in changing the therapeutic dynamic with people with SMI.\nApril 25\, 2023 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Reclaiming Social Justice in Clinical Social Work: A Metatheoretical Supervision Model to Develop Justice-Oriented Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:Reclaiming Social Justice in Clinical Social Work: A Metatheoretical Supervision Model to Develop Justice-Oriented Practitioners\nPriscilla Norris\nThe promotion of human rights\, equity\, and social justice are central tenets in the social work discipline. However\, as a profession\, social work has experienced ideological fissures\, leading to failures to capture the complexities of contextual and systemic influences in clinical practice. This capstone project seeks to address this dichotomy in education and practice by situating clinical supervision as the ideal pedagogical space for the development of justice-oriented practitioners. \nIn this presentation\, the author will first report on the findings of a systematic literature review investigating the role of social justice in the salient clinical supervision literature. Next\, the author will propose the rationale for a conceptual model for social justice–oriented clinical supervision. The Critical Relational Model (CRM) emerged during the analytic process\, demonstrating the layered and contextual nature of clinical supervision (e.g.: sociocultural identities\, power dynamics\, systemic injustices). \nGrounded in a constructionist metatheory and applied though a relational lens\, the model draws from critical theories\, critical pedagogy\, anti-oppressive and decolonizing frameworks\, while centering the supervisory relationship in the process of learning and growth. Last\, the author describes how the model can be applied in clinical supervision to develop critical skills and meta–competencies\, decolonize supervision\, and promote epistemic justice. Beyond a supervision model\, the CRM is a call to action. \nGiven the growing socio-political and racial tension in the US and emerging debates over the many manifestations of injustice\, oppression\, marginalization\, discrimination\, and human rights violations impacting individuals’ lived experiences\, there has never been better time to reclaim social justice in the clinical arena.\nApril 25\, 2023 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:The Opioid Epidemic in Black Communities
DESCRIPTION:The Opioid Epidemic in Black Communities\nDanielle Dicken\nThis presentation will look at the opioid epidemic in Black communities. Black individuals now die at higher rates than white individuals from opioid overdoses. Once considered a white disease\, communities of color have not been given attention in the epidemic\, and resources have focused on rural\, middle-class white communities. \nThis presentation will address this problem and discuss the impact of systemic racism in regard to addiction treatment and\, more specifically\, opioid use disorder. Historical context will be provided\, and the impact of the opioid crisis on Black communities today will be discussed. The presenter will suggest that the use of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Systems Theory combined can be used to implement comprehensive and culturally responsive care for Black individuals and communities. \nThe presentation will address the need for macro-level change through policy but will end with suggestions for immediate solutions to remediate care disparities and reach more Black individuals.\nApril 25\, 2023 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:The Epidemic Of Suicidality Among Young Adults
DESCRIPTION:The Epidemic Of Suicidality Among Young Adults\nTaylor Donathan\nThe presentation focuses on the societal issue of suicidality among young adults and how the COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on this societal issue. This presentation explores this social problem by examining a literature study\, a conceptualization of the social problem\, and how the social problem is seen in a practice context. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss some of the primary contributors to the social problem at hand\, as well as the increased prevalence of substance use disorders observed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic\, and how these two concepts are related. \nThis presentation examines the 8754: Impact Young Adults policy and how it offers resources to substance use clinics and first responders throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This presentation’s emphasis on the significance of educating the community about potential risk factors\, warning signals\, chances for awareness and education\, and the need for resources will aid in bringing about the necessary change. A substantial proportion of young adults are engaged in a “quiet war” with suicidality and other mental health difficulties and are unsure about what to do next. \nThis presentation addresses this topic to raise awareness and encourage that one young adult to seek attention or assistance. One young adult lost to suicide is one young adult lost to many.\n\nApril 25\, 2023 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Eliminating the Stigma Surrounding Mental Illness in Healthcare Settings: Examining Provider Training Using Anti-Oppressive Instruction and Contact (AOIC) Training
DESCRIPTION:Eliminating the Stigma Surrounding Mental Illness in Healthcare Settings: Examining Provider Training Using Anti-Oppressive Instruction and Contact (AOIC) Training\nJanice Knapp\nThis presentation will review the scholarly literature surrounding current interventions that have been attempted in the hopes of alleviating the stigma and biases that exist in healthcare settings for individuals who have a history of mental illness. Product One will discuss the stigma and biases that exist for individuals with mental illness\, the resulting healthcare disparities\, and the detrimental effects they have on patient welfare. It will also examine the success and failures of existing interventions in eliminating those biases. \nProduct Two will take a closer look at the existing interventions to assess the positive and negative aspects of each in order to evaluate what may be useful when proposing a new training intervention as well as stress the importance of extended patient contact during the intervention. \nProduct Three outlines a new training and contact intervention that teaches medical personnel\, both current and future\, how to use an anti-oppressive approach when working with patients. It also includes extended contact with individuals with mental illness which will be an integral part of the intervention.\nApril 25\, 2023 11:05 AM – 12:05 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:A Grief Response Guide: Addressing Violence Exposure Among Urban Youth
DESCRIPTION:A Grief Response Guide: Addressing Violence Exposure Among Urban Youth\nSabina Claycomb\nAt the nexus of therapeutic practice and urban youth’s mental health\, including depression\, anxiety\, and grief there are gaps in knowledge. The knowledge available on the mental health of urban youth and their exposure to violence could be used to build interventions and services that support the integration of academic success outcomes through trauma informed care. Young people exposed to violence are affected by fatalism and disenfranchisement\, especially those from inner city and high crime neighborhoods. \nTo better understand how loss impacts urban youth\, a theoretical framework that combines two concepts—the socio-ecological theory and the meaning reconstruction theory—is presented. Our objective is to contrast these theories’ justifications for modern treatment methods and their application to young people\, then offer a post-positive framework for successful interventions based on these beliefs. The knowledge related to urban youth and exposure to violence can be addressed through culturally aware practice and assessment of need. \nThe capstone will identify and propose the HEARTS resource created to address the disproportionate services for urban youth and share the research that supports this innovative approach to urban youth and grief.\nApril 25\, 2023 11:05 AM – 12:05 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:A New Social Work Leadership Standard: Empathetic Leadership
DESCRIPTION:A New Social Work Leadership Standard: Empathetic Leadership\nGary Zornes\nThe social work profession has no developed leadership approach. This presentation will discuss the history of leadership in social work and the professional implications that have resulted from not having a developed leadership approach such as burnout. The presenter will then explore Empathetic Leadership as a standard leadership model in social work practice by defining empathy\, leadership\, and when leaders lead with empathy it can be transformational because research is suggesting that leaders who are empathetic have workers who experience less burnout. \nThe implications that empathetic leadership could have on the social work profession aren’t known but the possibilities are exciting because the research points to healthier work environments\, increased productivity\, and overall better health outcomes for employees. To create this level of change it would take a systematic approach starting with a Empathetic Leadership Curriculum Pilot to teach\, model\, and replicate empathetic leadership theory and skills to MSW students.    \nCould empathetic leadership improve burnout? This presentation will have you wanting to answer that question.\nApril 25\, 2023 1:05 PM – 2:05 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Rural Mental Health: Cultural Competence\, Ecological Perspective\, and Training
DESCRIPTION:Rural Mental Health: Cultural Competence\, Ecological Perspective\, and Training\nTalena Justice\nThe aim of this capstone presentation is to bring attention to the unique barriers of availability\, accessibility\, and acceptability that rural populations in the United States tend to face in relation to mental health services. This capstone presentation will discuss how cultural competence in rural areas is lacking and should be tailored to the area where the rural population served resides. Cultural competence tailored to the population served is important for mental health agencies and providers to possess to work effectively with rural populations.Specifically\, understanding how each unique rural area presents with barriers to mental health services that have an interconnected relationship with the culture in that area. The incorporation of ecological perspective into cultural competence is a proposed solution for mental health agencies and professionals to use to more effectively understand the influence of their geographic location on their area’s culture. Recommendations to alter trainings for mental health professionals at rural community mental health centers\, along with agency policy\, are provided to incorporate this perspective. \nApril 25\, 2023 1:05 PM – 2:05 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n

SUMMARY:Leadership Strategies for New Supervisors on Leading a Diverse Workforce
DESCRIPTION:Leadership Strategies for New Supervisors on Leading a Diverse Workforce\nChristie Watson\nIt is said that people spend more time at work than they do at home. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on average\, people spend one-third of their life at work (BLS 2022). Having a poor experience in the workplace leads to turnover\, decreased productivity\, disengaged employees\, and poor customer service. \nLeading others can be difficult\, and most times leaders supervise by the way they were led or have no supervisory training at all. This capstone product provides three distinct scholarly articles that address leadership strategies for new supervisors in leading a diverse workforce. \nProduct one is a systematic literature review that examined leadership frameworks that promote job satisfaction and retention of healthcare employees. Product two consists of a conceptual framework for cross-cultural supervision\, that promotes employee engagement and retention. Product three focuses on leadership training and the importance of the supervisor-supervisee relationship.\nApril 25\, 2023 1:05 PM – 2:05 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Real and Radical Allyship: Addressing the Mental Health Needs of Black Trans Women
DESCRIPTION:Real and Radical Allyship: Addressing the Mental Health Needs of Black Trans Women\nLaKeith Sutton\nBlack trans women are one of the most vulnerable populations in America. Black trans women face multiple forms of legalized and social discrimination that impacts both their livelihoods and mental health. Unfortunately\, most social workers and other mental health professionals are not trained on how to address the mental needs of Black trans women. \nThis presentation will explore the impact of discrimination on the mental health of Black trans women\, how clinicians can treat the mental health needs of Black trans women\, and how clinicians can become radical allies to Black trans women in the process.\nApril 25\, 2023 1:05 PM – 2:05 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Developing A Trauma-Informed Care Training Model For Youth Emergency Shelter Care
DESCRIPTION:Developing A Trauma-Informed Care Training Model For Youth Emergency Shelter Care\nSamantha Files\nTrauma is a pervasive issue that impacts all youth within congregate care settings. Because of the complexity of trauma and the increasing rates of youth admitted to congregate care settings\, service delivery systems\, such as youth emergency shelter care\, should incorporate trauma-informed care practices to assist in decreasing staff burnout and vicarious trauma\, as well as assist the youth in post-traumatic recovery and growth. Trauma-informed care is a clinical model designed to address the comprehensive understanding of trauma\, both clinically and organizationally. \nThis presentation will examine an effective implementation method for Developing a Trauma-Informed Care Training Model for Youth Emergency Shelter Care. The proposed training model will be intended to implement for staff training purposes but will ultimately be a systematic framework that will impact all levels of an agency. If youth emergency shelter care agencies were to incorporate this framework\, they would be providing knowledge and understanding to their staff?and security and safety to their residents.\nApril 25\, 2023 1:05 PM – 2:05 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Bridging the Gap: Healthcare Access To Medication-Assisted Treatment and the Power of Coalitions
DESCRIPTION:Bridging the Gap: Healthcare Access To Medication-Assisted Treatment and the Power of Coalitions\nChris Pablo\nThe opioid epidemic continues. Opioid-related deaths have dramatically increased in the past decade\, and issues related to opioids continue to affect millions. National efforts have been implemented through legislation to impact untreated addiction by increasing the availability of harm reduction services and removing barriers to treatment for addiction. \nThis presentation will provide a historical overview of the opioid epidemic and the efforts made by legislation during that time to address the identified misuse of opioids and the fatal consequence for the nation. An understanding of access barriers for those who need treatment will be provided. Then a proposal to address those barriers will be discussed through the classic theoretical tenets of Systems Theory and Psychodynamic Theory but through a contemporary lens delivering a grassroots approach to building a coalition of professionals to tackle the opioid epidemic in their communities.\nApril 25\, 2023 2:05 PM – 3:05 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

This presentation focuses on the need for leadership to overcome confirmation bias through reflective practices\, effective communication\, and the use of a conversation guide.  \nThe presentation will define confirmation bias and its impact on communication. It will explore how confirmation bias can create blind spots that prevent individuals from considering alternative perspectives\, leading to communication breakdowns.  \nIt will examine the importance of reflective practices in overcoming confirmation bias before engaging in conversation. By assessing personal biases and reflecting on their mindset\, leaders can identify opportunities for growth and develop a more open-minded and respectful approach to communication.  \nNext\, it will discuss effective communication strategies that leaders can use to counter confirmation bias. It will explore techniques such as active listening\, asking open-ended questions\, and encouraging constructive dissent. These techniques can help participants to identify and challenge assumptions\, leading to better communication outcomes.  \nFinally\, we will introduce a conversation guide that can help facilitate constructive dialogue and promote open-mindedness and respect. This guide provides a structured framework for discussing complex issues and encourages participants to consider multiple perspectives.  \nBy the end of this presentation\, participants will have a better understanding of confirmation bias and its impact on communication\, as well as practical tools and techniques for overcoming this bias. They will also be equipped with a conversation guide that can help foster constructive dialogue and promote open-mindedness in future conversations.\nApril 25\, 2023 2:05 PM – 3:05 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Symptomatic Overlaps Between Autism and Dementia in Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Symptomatic Overlaps Between Autism and Dementia in Older Adults\nRowan Macey\nFew studies have examined the overlap of symptoms between autism and dementia in people over the age of 65. This research proposal will address the gap in the literature which indicates that it would be informative to conduct a study similar to a previous one but with a more diverse subsection of people with late onset dementia. This review will broaden the understanding of the relationship between autism and dementia\, highlighting the impact of the similarities. \nThrough an analysis of interviews of patients and caregivers\, a consideration of innovative technology/Social Learning Theory\, Constructivist Grounded Theory\, assessment scales for dementia and autism\, and a promotion of advanced care planning\, this study will explore whether there is a link between autism and dementia and if there is\, what further development is needed of existing interventions.\nApril 25\, 2023 2:05 PM – 3:05 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Effective Treatment For Young Children With Co-Occurring Anxiety And Speech\, Language\, And/Or Communication Needs
DESCRIPTION:Effective Treatment For Young Children With Co-Occurring Anxiety And Speech\, Language\, And/Or Communication Needs\nRebecca Hill\nThere is a high co-occurrence of anxiety and speech\, language\, and/or communication needs (SLCNs) in young children. Many young children with SLCNs have had repeated\, distressing experiences around language and communication resulting in frequent dysregulation when they are expected to use language and/or communications skills they do not have. This makes traditional mental health therapeutic modalities challenging as they often rely on spoken language. \nThis presentation will address treatment needs for young children experiencing anxiety and SLCNs. The current research on this population will be reviewed\, including conventional treatment modalities. The presenter will provide explanations about SLCNs\, how young children with SLCNs and co-occurring anxiety present to treatment\, and the population’s specific treatment needs. \nAdditionally\, a treatment framework will be presented via a fictionalized case study to demonstrate how child-centered play therapy through the lens of polyvagal theory can be used to provide effective and holistic mental health treatment for young children with co-occurring anxiety and SLCNs.\nApril 25\, 2023 2:05 PM – 3:05 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:The Strong Black Woman Schema: A Proactive Approach to Conceptualizing and Providing Mental Health Treatment for Black Women Who Identify with the Strong Black Woman Schema
DESCRIPTION:The Strong Black Woman Schema: A Proactive Approach to Conceptualizing and Providing Mental Health Treatment for Black Women Who Identify with the Strong Black Woman Schema\nKendra Mulder\nThe Strong Black Woman Schema is the ideology that Black women should display mental and physical strength\, stoicism\, and nurturer traits. While Black women who identify with this schema typically associate this term with a positive identity\, there are adverse outcomes that stem from this identification. Black women who identify with the Strong Black Woman schema experience higher rates of depression\, anxiety\, and psychological distress. \nNo treatment modality has been determined to treat Black women who identify with the Strong Black Woman Schema. This capstone presentation will present a systematic literature review that discusses how the Strong Black Woman Schema is defined and the self-perceptions of Black women who identify with  this schema. The impact of anxiety\, depression\, and psychological distress on Black women who identify with the Strong Black Woman Schema will be explored. This presentation will also aid in conceptualizing the Strong Black Woman schema through the lens of Psychodynamic theory and the introduction of the Strong Black Woman Framework. \nThe presentation will conclude by introducing a four-part treatment model entitled the A.S.C.C. model\, or Assess\, Stabilize\, Catharsis\, and Community\, as a proposed treatment model for clients who identify with the Strong Black Woman Schema at a micro level.  Limitations associated with systematic literature review\, conceptual work\, and application work centered around the Strong Black Woman Schema will be discussed and implications for future research on identifying and treating Black Women who identify with the Strong Black Woman Schema will be provided.\n\nApril 25\, 2023 3:10 – 4:10 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Discriminatory Healthcare Experiences and Opioid Use Disorder: A Study of Mental Health Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Discriminatory Healthcare Experiences and Opioid Use Disorder: A Study of Mental Health Outcomes\nVictoria Williams\nWhen the opioid crisis re-introduced itself to the United States in 1975\, individuals began advocating for change regarding treatment of various substance use disorders – something that the health care system was not prepared for or interested in. The creation of programs outside of the hospital setting in forms of detox centers\, inpatient programs\, and outpatient programs set the tone for discriminatory views and biases regarding SUD that have continued to be present for the past decades.   \nThe purpose of this project is to examine mental health outcomes of discriminatory healthcare experiences and opioid use disorder through three different papers: the systematic literature review\, the conceptual paper\, and the practice application paper. \nThe systematic literature review presents an evidence-based analysis of the current knowledge regarding mental health outcomes of discriminatory healthcare experiences and opioid use disorder. It reviews literature related to the history of healthcare and opioid use disorder discrimination and various themes among past research findings and recommendations.  \nThe conceptual paper identifies\, explores\, and analyzes relevant theories that can be used to address mental health outcomes of discriminatory healthcare experiences and opioid use disorder. It synthesizes knowledge\, past change efforts\, and presents new recommendations to fill gaps in research. \nLastly\, the practice application paper uses synthesized knowledge and theories to solve this practice problem.\nApril 25\, 2023 3:10 PM – 4:10 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Suicide Postvention for Private Practice Social Workers: Using Supportive Supervision practices
DESCRIPTION:Suicide Postvention for Private Practice Social Workers: Using Supportive Supervision practices\nSteven Fuller\nSuicide postvention is a growing terminology and practice in the mental health professions. Supervision practices are a key element of suicide postvention practices\, in the field of social work there is an isolated group that does not have this important component of suicide postvention. Supportive supervision practices as described by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) are one component that can be put in place to support those private practice social workers who currently lack this crucial component of suicide postvention.\nApril 25\, 2023 3:10 PM – 4:10 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Internalized Homonegativity in Lesbian\, Gay\, and Bisexual Individuals: An Integrative Treatment Model
DESCRIPTION:Internalized Homonegativity in Lesbian\, Gay\, and Bisexual Individuals: An Integrative Treatment Model\nDavid Kearby\nThis capstone project’s main aims are to (1) identify psychotherapy interventions in the literature that specifically addresses internalized homonegativity (IH) in lesbian\, gay\, and bisexual individuals (LGBI)\, (2) present a conceptual model integrating several therapeutic approaches to target the multifaceted nature of IH\, and (3) adapt the conceptual model for individual psychotherapy.  Specifically\, the systematic literature review (SLR) explored the research question\, “What psychotherapeutic interventions have been identified in the literature to address the internalized homonegativity (IH) of LGB adult individuals?” The goal of the SLR was to identify the therapeutic approaches that had been adopted for use with LGBI\, targeting IH. The findings illustrate four main psychotherapy approaches\, (1) psychodynamic psychotherapy\, (2) gay-affirmative therapy\, (3) person-centered therapy\, and (4) cognitive therapy. The conceptual model outlines a new and novel approach to treating IH in LGBI\, named the Internalized Psychotherapy Model for Internalized Homonegativty (IPM-IH). The IPM-IH systematically integrates interventions from each of the four therapy models. The practice application paper builds on the conceptual paper by detailing how the IPM-IH is applied to individual therapy. The IPM-IH for individual therapy with LGBI is a three-stage approach that systematically addresses the intrapsychic\, cognitive\, and interpersonal functions implicated in IH. The treatment model describes the (1) assessment\, (2) treatment\, and (3) evaluation stages of treatment. While each paper has a particular focus\, the culmination of the three papers results in a novel approach to working with LGBI with internalized homonegative biases.\nApril 25\, 2023 3:10 PM – 4:10 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Social Work Supervision in the Department of Veterans Affairs: A Supervision Model to Address Retention
DESCRIPTION:Social Work Supervision in the Department of Veterans Affairs:A Supervision Model to Address Retention \nJennifer Banak\nThe United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is the largest employer of master’s level social workers in the United States (Department of Veteran Affairs). Social Workers have been employed in the VA since 1926. The VA currently employs over 19\,000 social workers nationally and because of this sheer scope in number requires critical approaches to ensuring that supervision in regard to administrative\, educational\, and supportive supervision are consistent across all locations.Social work within the VA provides services to veterans that touch upon a myriad of programs including mental health\, substance abuse\, intimate partner violence\, suicide prevention\, geriatrics\, primary care\, homeless services\, and caregiver support. The nature of the vast types of services that social workers provide in this system call for a unified approach to training and supporting supervisors responsible for the oversite to social work staff in cross sectioned areas\, requiring a level of competent knowledge and expertise that spans across specialties. \nSince the Covid 19 pandemic\, staffing has suffered with a large exodus of healthcare providers including qualified social workers. The lack of resources and the staffing shortages have left social workers still working in the VA healthcare system with large caseloads\, feelings of burnout and cross covering in areas outside their primary area of expertise. Supervisors in the system have often been quickly promoted to cover administrative responsibilities with little education\, training or mentoring to prepare them for the role. The lack of adequate supervisory support is leading to the turnover rates and ultimately impacting patient care provided of these critical services from social work. \nOrganizational support for adequate and consistent supervision provided to social workers in the VA is critical to motivating and retaining staff in this growing resource constrained setting. Review of the research and current literature supports that the provision of quality supervision plays an integral role in reducing turn-over rates\, burnout\, overall job satisfaction and patient outcomes. The following review of the literature posits that the importance of consistent provision and oversite of supportive supervision to social workers in healthcare settings such as the VA is critical to retention efforts and patient outcomes. \nApril 25\, 2023 3:10 PM – 4:10 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Intellectual and Physical Disabilities - Social Inclusion Among Children
DESCRIPTION:Intellectual and Physical Disabilities – Social Inclusion Among Children\nBailey Parzygnat\nLegislation mandates that students who qualify for special education services have equal opportunities in the school environment. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Education for All Handicapped Children in 1975 ensured that all children receive free education and require that institutions accommodate each child. However\, they do not specify what accommodations. This is up to the individual’s school district and what programs they offer. Some students who qualify for special education services are placed in self-contained classrooms; these students learn academics and life skills. Unfortunately\, many of these classrooms are secluded from the general education environment and other students which affects students socially. Mainstreaming self-contained students with general education students during exploratory classes is proposed. Inclusion benefits not only students in self-contained classrooms but students in the general education setting.\nApril 25\, 2023 4:10 PM – 5:10 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Implementing Trauma Informed Care Initiatives within Child Welfare: A Best Practice Guide to Preventing Burnout\, Trauma\, and Mental Health within Child Welfare Organizations
DESCRIPTION:Implementing Trauma Informed Care Initiatives within Child Welfare: A Best Practice Guide to Preventing Burnout\, Trauma\, and Mental Health within Child Welfare Organizations\nAshley Kendrick\nThe presentation will explore the impact of burnout\, trauma\, and mental health barriers that child welfare workers endure while working. There is a lack of self-awareness for the barriers experienced\, resulting in high turnover rates\, stress\, high caseloads\, lack of support\, and inconsistency providing adequate services to children and families within child welfare. There are a variety of interventions developed to support children within the child welfare\, however there is a lack of support for providers within child welfare. Trauma-informed care initiatives have been successful addressing trauma and the barriers because of traumatic experiences. The capstone creates awareness to implementing trauma-informed care initiatives within child welfare agencies to promote greater well-being\, retention\, supportive environments\, professional development\, and self-care. Utilizing theoretical approaches such as strength-based\, solution-focused\, systems\, and trauma-informed care are essential in implementing a practical solution within organizational leadership. Implementing policies\, trainings\, and leadership support will help to increase retention\, create a safe environment\, promote greater well-being\, and eliminate barriers. Providing support to child welfare workers is essential to support their well-being and to ensure that adequate services are provided to children within child welfare.\nApril 25\, 2023 4:10 PM – 5:10 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:The Revelation: To help develop preventive ways and methods to decrease burnout\, compassion fatigue\, and secondary trauma within school social workers
DESCRIPTION:The Revelation: To help develop preventive ways and methods to decrease burnout\, compassion fatigue\, and secondary trauma within school social workers\nDominique Johns\nThe presentation will explore the impact of burnout\, compassion fatigue\, and lack of supervision within school social workers. In school social workers\, research has been lacking\, particularly in terms of burnout\, compassion fatigue\, self-care\, and supervision. Taking care of yourself and implementing different interventions are important to eliminate other problematic stressors as a school social worker. There are a variety of interventions developed to support students which helps decrease burnout and compassion fatigue. This capstone will create awareness of different restorative practice interventions\, self-care techniques\, and ways to implement appropriate supervision to decrease burnout and compassion fatigue.  \nTrauma-informed care initiatives have been successful addressing trauma and the barriers one experiences. This capstone proposes the implementation of a trauma-informed care initiatives to promote greater well-being\, retention\, supportive environments\, professional development\, and self-care. Utilizing theoretical approaches such as strength-based\, solution-focused\, systems\, and trauma-informed care are essential in implementing a practical solution within organizational leadership.

SUMMARY:Adverse Childhood Experiences of Social Workers: Competencies for Clinical Supervisors
DESCRIPTION:Adverse Childhood Experiences of Social Workers: Competencies for Clinical Supervisors\nCarli Allen\nPeople are often drawn to helping professions because they have experienced some form of adversity in their lives. This presentation explores the concept of the “wounded healer” and theories that explain the reported high rates of adverse childhood experiences by helping professionals\, particularly social workers.   This presentation also reviews and evaluates the current competencies of the Kentucky Board of Social Work (KBSW) approved clinical supervision training. After a review of the current competencies of the KBSW approved training\, a curriculum and competencies will be introduced and explored by the presenter. These recommended competencies include information regarding the disproportionate experiences of childhood adversity\, ways to support social work practitioners\, and ways to encourage open communication regarding trauma experiences and the potential impact on the individual social worker’s practice\, while engaging in clinical supervision.  \nWith the use of clinical supervision\, the negative implications of childhood adversity can be reduced. Addressing this problem could lead to a reduction in the cost of turnover\, create opportunities of self-advocacy\, and encourage social action that could support practitioners. The purpose of this project is to enhance the integrity of social work practice\, enhance clinical social work\, and prevent impaired social work practice.\n\nApril 25\, 2023 4:10 PM – 5:10 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n
