SUMMARY:Identification and removal of barriers to VA mental health treatment for Black female veterans
DESCRIPTION:Identification and removal of barriers to VA mental health treatment for Black female veterans\nThea Williams\nThe Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) is the largest integrated healthcare system in the nation. It is seen by many as a safety net for the nation’s veterans.  Research has been conducted with both male and female veterans to identify barriers they may experience while seeking mental health treatment from the VA. However\, the veteran population is more than diverse than just looking at differences in gender. Females are the fastest growing group pf veterans. Currently they make up 11% with a projection of being 18% of the population by the year 2046. That being said\, female veterans are not a homogeneous group.  Forty-three percent of female veterans identify as a member of a racial/ethnic group. Those identifying as Black were at 12%\, representing the largest single racial/ethnic group. The goal of this capstone project is to identify barriers Black female veteran encounter to accessing mental health treatment from the VA. This project also examines the current approach while presenting a new conceptual framework that acknowledges these barriers and a culturally responsive approach to removing them.\nApril 24\, 2023 3:35 PM – 4:35 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary Evaluation of Social Workers in Public Education
DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary Evaluation of Social Workers in Public Education\nTanya Meline\nSocial workers practice in various settings outside of their discipline.  These host settings may present challenges for social workers due to inadequate supervision and performance evaluation often provided by a leader without knowledge of the field’s ethics and professional standards.  The public education system is one of these settings.  \nThis capstone project explores the current supervision and evaluation frameworks for non-traditional staff within schools and proposes a best-practice solution to improve the experiences of school social workers.  Barriers to effective evaluation at the individual and organizational levels are identified and the impacts on the professional growth of these staff are defined.  The National Evaluation for School Social Work Practice is utilized to propose an interdisciplinary approach to performance evaluations for these staff that blends transactional and transformational leadership styles.  \nThis approach defines professional competencies and standards assessed by building administrators\, such as principals and assistant principals\, and those that are more effectively assessed by a social work supervisor.  Utilizing an interdisciplinary framework for supervision and performance evaluation equally emphasizes the needs of the organization and the professional to improve outcomes for students\, staff\, and the school community.  Although specific to public education\, the proposed framework can serve as a model for other host settings to improve the experiences and job satisfaction of social workers in other sectors.\nApril 24\, 2023 3:35 PM – 4:35 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Deep Community Partnerships: The Future of Community-Based Senior Services in a Value-Driven Era
DESCRIPTION:Deep Community Partnerships: The Future of Community-Based Senior Services in a Value-Driven Era\nDiana Wilcox\nThis presentation will review three scholarly products that examine how chronically ill older adults interact with healthcare systems and senior service delivery systems in the United States. Product One examines how community-based senior programs that are funded by the Older Americans Act (OAA) positively impact health outcomes and promote health and wellness among the older adult population. Product Two examines how Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)\, Managed Care Organizations (MCOs)\, Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) interact with the patient and with one another using the lens of Systems Theory. \nProduct Three examines best practices regarding care coordination among all systems that impact the older adult\, uses a case example to discuss how care coordination addresses service gaps\, and discusses strategies that organizational leaders can use among all systems to promote care coordination behaviors.\nApril 25\, 2023 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Current Best Practices in the Delivery of Online Social Work Education that Maximize Student Engagement and Success
DESCRIPTION:Current Best Practices in the Delivery of Online Social Work Education that Maximize Student Engagement and Success\nWilliam Taylor\nThe practice of online social work education at the college and university level goes back nearly as far as the mass propagation of internet access in the 1990s. Higher education has a history of working to accommodate students who work or otherwise have challenges being present at a brick-and-mortar campus during traditional working hours\, Monday through Friday. Over the years\, colleges and universities have offered evening and weekend classes\, correspondence courses via the United States Postal Service\, and even self-paced CD-ROM programs. \nAs internet access has increased over the decades\, so has the amount of web-based social work courses and programs. With the arrival of Covid-19 in March 2020\, institutes of higher learning had to quickly pivot to online instruction\, and quickly adapt and utilize web-based learning management systems and media to engage and educate students. As higher education has returned to a new normal following Covid-related restrictions and lockdowns in the early 2020s\, it is important to take a new look at the delivery of online social work education to ensure current best practices and innovations are in place to maximize student engagement and success in this important area of social work practice.\nApril 25\, 2023 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Exploring Social Worker Wellness: Balancing Individual Self-Care and the Responsibility of Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Social Worker Wellness: Balancing Individual Self-Care and the Responsibility of Leadership\nEmily McKenzie\nThis presentation will review three scholarly products that explore practitioner wellness in the context of the social work field. As the burnout rate among social workers is higher than in other professions\, self-care and organizational wellness are promoted to combat this phenomenon. The first product\, a systematic literature review\, provides a foundation of information found in the current literature. \nSocial worker self-care and wellness are explored within education\, organizations\, and within the broader professional culture. The second product\, a conceptual paper\, promotes the idea of holistic practitioner wellness by viewing it through the lens of three theoretical frameworks with an emphasis on the impact of the workplace setting and leadership. The third product\, a practice application paper\, offers a wellness program for social work organizations. \nThis program was adapted using an existing framework identified in product one and applies the information synthesized in product two.\nApril 25\, 2023 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Clinician Survivors of Client Suicide: A Policy for Colleges and University Campuses
DESCRIPTION:Clinician Survivors of Client Suicide: A Policy for Colleges and University Campuses\nMargaret Reif\nBeing a clinician survivor of a client suicide is a devastating and tragic risk of working in the mental health field.  Following the loss of a client to a completed suicide\, the clinician survivor is left with personal and professional struggles.  This presentation will provide an overview of a systemic literature review of clinician survivors of client suicide.  \nThe literature review will focus on the significant experience that the loss of a client to a completed suicide has on a clinician.  Theoretical perspectives will address the impact that a client’s suicide has on a clinician.  Systems theory will provide an explanation of the clinician’s struggles following a loss of a client.  \nWounded health theory offers the clinician survivor hope to transform from a wounded individual to a wounded healer following the client’s death to a completed suicide.  A policy will be offered to support clinicians on a college or university campus following a client’s suicide using the steps from Crisis Incident Stress Management.\nApril 25\, 2023 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Decentering Privilege Via Clinical Social Work Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Decentering Privilege Via Clinical Social Work Supervision\nRachel Buxbaum\nSocial Workers are often seen and valued in our society as change makers\, especially related to social justice.  While that presents as a shared value and focus across the field there is little research or guidance from social workers\, specifically clinical social workers\, about supervision frameworks that ensure anti-oppressive direct clinical care is being provided.  \nThis presentation will showcase the history of this issue\, important notations from the utilization of a systematic literature review\, mentions of other attempts and supports to rectify this concern\, a highlighting of anti-oppressive supervisory models created by clinicians from other clinical disciplines\, an in depth case study and logic model that leads us to the five step supervisory framework created by University of Kentucky doctoral candidate\, Rachel Buxbaum\, to support the decentering of privilege via clinical social work supervision.\nApril 25\, 2023 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

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: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: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: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

SUMMARY:Leadership in Overcoming Confirmation Bias through Effective Communication: A Reflection-Based Conversation Guide
DESCRIPTION:Leadership in Overcoming Confirmation Bias through Effective Communication: A Reflection-Based Conversation Guide\nTodd Palmer\nConfirmation bias can hinder effective communication\, especially in environments where groupthink can exacerbate the problem. 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
