SUMMARY:“I Like My Baby Heir\, With Baby Hairs and Afros”: Use of Story Theory in Addressing Maternal Health Outcomes for African American Veterans and Service Members
DESCRIPTION:“I Like My Baby Heir\, With Baby Hairs and Afros”: Use of Story Theory in Addressing Maternal Health Outcomes for African American Veterans and Service Members\nChantal Johnson\nMaternal morbidity and mortality among African American women has been a systemic and pervasive issue in the United States for decades. In 2020\, Congress began to address the issues around the deaths of African American women in the Mombius 2020 Act. In 2021 congress expanded those efforts by passing the “Protect Moms Who Serve Act 2020”. \nThis act began to address the lack of maternal health services to veterans and services members throughout the Department of Veterans Affairs\, with a focus on African American and Native women. This presentation will outline the current issues around maternal outcomes in African American women veterans and service members. This presentation will address how using Story Theory\, medical professionals can begin to listen to the narratives African American Service Members. \nThe Story and Narrative Theory centered B.O.O.T. Maternal Assessment and Interview is being proposed to address communication issues between providers and patients. The B.O.O.T.S. assessment can be used by military\, veteran\, and civilian providers alike.\nApril 24\, 2023 11:20 AM – 12:20 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Rebranding the Battle Against Clinician Burnout 
DESCRIPTION:Rebranding the Battle Against Clinician Burnout \nTaylor Albitar\nThis presentation will take a close look into the issue of burnout among marginalized healthcare providers (women and LGBTQ+). This showcase will dissect key points in history that target wellness and define terms that are relevant to understanding the effects of burnout on a person’s work-life balance. It will be divided into several sections\, including an overview of the problem and contributing factors\, a thorough review of relevant literature\, a conceptual idea that will explore both the problem at hand and theories that can help with its effects\, and finally a practice application that will serve as the recommendation for a change in policy to act as preventative care and education for working social workers in the field. \nEach section will walk us through existing research\, theory\, and practice of Kentucky state-licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs). The end goal of this paper will be the acknowledgment of the professional failings for social workers in the field\, as well as an actionable plan that will create change for a healthier practice for the future of the social work profession.\nApril 24\, 2023 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Sexual Reproductive Healthcare: Reproductive Autonomy\, Access Inequity\, And The Call For Service Expansion
DESCRIPTION:Sexual Reproductive Healthcare: Reproductive Autonomy\, Access Inequity\, And The Call For Service Expansion\nElizabeth Johnson\nSexual Reproductive Healthcare (SRH) and the right to control over one’s own body in sexual and reproductive matters\, are fundamental core component of an individual’s being. The SRH landscape changes on a daily basis with changes to policy and legislation\, majority of which further restrict access. Advocacy and education will be key in advancing SRH access moving forward however in order to move forward we must examine and acknowledge past practices.\nApril 24\, 2023 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Disparities In Mental Health Technology Among African-Americans: Breaking Cultural Inclusion Barriers
DESCRIPTION:Disparities In Mental Health Technology Among African-Americans: Breaking Cultural Inclusion Barriers\nNyoki Cosey-Brown\nMental health Technology is an innovative service delivery method used to minimize healthcare access challenges. African-Americans have increased their engagement in mental health technology in various aspects as professionals and patients while companies scale in capacity and funding to expand their technological reach globally. The need to explore the intentionality of cultural inclusion\, research analysis\, evidence-based practices\, program design\, organizational structures\, and policy implementation is essential to ensure the sustainability of mental health technology as a reliable model in the future of healthcare.This presentation will examine the capstone project as a collection of three papers\, the Systematic Literature review\, Concept paper\, and Practical application paper\, analyzing cultural inclusion concerns from the African-American patient and professional perspective. There was an examination of patient issues related to program design\, evidence-based interventions\, therapist matching\, marketing\, and research\, with professionals experiencing inequities in hiring practices\, career ladders\, diversity training\, strategic planning\, STEM careers\, and organizational ownership. \nThis presentation will take a deeper dive into the systematic literature review which explored the current literature\, common themes\, research barriers\, and future research implication for practice. It will further explain the concept paper which described the interconnection between anti-oppressive theory\, systems theory\, the historical constructs of structural racism\, and the structural discrepancies that reinforce obstructive ideologies in the cultural inclusion reform process. Lastly\, it will discuss the practice application paper which investigated the root cause of cultural equity challenges\, examined behavioral leadership theory doctrines\, and provided problem-solving strategies using a three-tiered method of practical reform interventions. This is a call to action for mental health technology cultural inclusion reform. \nApril 24\, 2023 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n

SUMMARY:Involuntary Psychiatric Treatment And The Effect On Overall Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Involuntary Psychiatric Treatment And The Effect On Overall Treatment\nKaylee Archey\nIn clinical social work practice a clinician often assesses risk\, level of care\, and the overall mental capacity and capability of the clients they serve. In some instances when a client is deemed at a high level of risk\, the client may be subject to being admitted to involuntary psychiatric treatment. Involuntary psychiatric treatment is when a client is admitted and/or mandated to a form of treatment intervention against their will. \nThis often results in clients being uprooted from their everyday lives and can cause a major disruption within contexts of their employment\, social relationships\, family\, and societal responsibilities. While this form of treatment is necessary in some instances of clinical practice in order to ensure that a client and others around them are safe\, this capstone seeks to define involuntary clients\, determine appropriate interventions\, increase treatment outcomes\, and bridge the gap between levels of care and the treatment options that are provided to those who are deemed at different levels of risk.\nApril 24\, 2023 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Exploring and Tackling Poor Engagement in Mental Health Services for U.S. Military Veterans with Serious Mental Illness: Collection of Papers
DESCRIPTION:Exploring and Tackling Poor Engagement in Mental Health Services for U.S. Military Veterans with Serious Mental Illness: Collection of Papers\nSarah Turpen\nThis capstone project focuses on the treatment engagement challenges for military veterans with serious mental illness (SMI). Poor engagement in care is correlated with negative outcomes for this population. By exploring the scope and conceptualization of this issue\, a solution is proposed to tackle poor engagement with SMI veterans.   \nTo begin\, a systematic literature review examines the effectiveness of intensive case management with a therapeutic alliance for this population. Due to the lack of literature available on this issue\, the conceptual paper proposes a self-determination theoretical approach to improve treatment engagement with SMI veterans. Broadening the conceptualization\, the final piece of this capstone project proposes a practice application for clinicians to enhance their skills to engage SMI veterans in mental health services.\nApril 24\, 2023 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Rise Up: Dismantling Institutionalized Racism Embedded in Healthcare to Improve Health Outcomes for Black Women
DESCRIPTION:Rise Up: Dismantling Institutionalized Racism Embedded in Healthcare to Improve Health Outcomes for Black Women\nCheryl Talbert\nBlack women in America are paying the cost for systematic failures in the healthcare system. This presentation will focus on the prevalence of institutionalized racism in healthcare dating back to slavery. The presenter will discuss the role of social determinants of health in addressing health disparities\, and the reasons these health disparities continue to exist today\, despite healthcare advancements as well as numerous\, and often costly\, public awareness programs and public health initiatives.  \nIn addition\, the discussion will address disproportionate outcomes in healthcare for Black women compared to their white counterparts. An overview of the theoretical framework of Black feminism\, weathering\, critical race\, and Sojourner Syndrome will be highlighted\, as these factors bring significant relevance to understanding health disparities.  The presenter will provide an overview of the discrimination survey and explain why this survey is a necessary component across the healthcare spectrum.   \nFinally\, the presentation will address gaps in research that inevitably lead to poor health outcomes and unsatisfactory quality in care for Black women. Highlighting the solutions to long-term systematic change\, the discussion will explore the ultimate implications for social work practice\, the role and the impact social work leaders play in addressing health disparities.\nApril 24\, 2023 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Accelerated Resolution Therapy as a Pre-Habilitative Psycho-Oncology Approach with Head and Neck Cancer Patients
DESCRIPTION:Accelerated Resolution Therapy as a Pre-Habilitative Psycho-Oncology Approach with Head and Neck Cancer Patients\nJennifer Mead\nThis scholarly Capstone Project intends to introduce the integration of a novel therapeutic framework to bridge the unmet psychological needs of the head and neck cancer population.  The Capstone Project provides trending information on the etiology of head and neck cancers including increasing diagnoses related to the Human Papillomavirus and thus why some in the medical community refer to this cancer as a “quiet epidemic”.  The primary focus will be to illustrate the disproportionately high psychological distress experienced by this population\, the traditional therapeutic interventions applied and the need for a new approach.   \nThe project will introduce the model of Pre-Habilitative Psycho-Oncology using Accelerated Resolution Therapy\, or PPA\, to be implemented in the oncology clinic setting. The new model\, which will be social work led\, will establish consistent and thorough biopsychosocial assessments on every patient with a new head and neck cancer diagnosis\, identify those experiencing psychological distress and intervene prior to the initiation of treatment\, rather than during or after.   \nThe pre-habilitative approach seeks to reduce anxiety\, depression\, and suicide ideation through the techniques used in Accelerated Resolution Therapy.  Through the unique social work lens\, PPA will help patients develop coping skills\, enhance resilience\, and improve quality of life.\nApril 24\, 2023 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Tools of the Trade: Educating Future Social Workers for Anti-Oppressive Practice
DESCRIPTION:Tools of the Trade: Educating Future Social Workers for Anti-Oppressive Practice\nKeisha Owens\nThis presentation provides an overview of the capstone project which explores the research question: What does the literature say about teaching cultural humility in social work education?  \nCultural humility is an important component of anti-oppressive practice. Anti-racism\, Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (ADEI) is a component that is required in social work education by the Council on Social Work Accreditation (CSWE).  The CSWE allows flexibility for how accredited social work schools implement this in education.  \nThe presentation includes a brief overview of the systematic literature review that revealed inadequate empirical evidence for the methods used to teach cultural humility. Three teaching methods were identified and will be discussed: Intergroup dialogue\, experiential learning\, and reflective writing.\nAn overview of applicable theories will be explored\, including Critical Race Theory\, Systems Theory\, and Experiential Learning Theory. Implications and a proposed solution to enhance social work education will be proposed.\n\nApril 24\, 2023 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Anorexia\, Neurocognition\, and Practice Implications: An Outpatient Treatment Model
DESCRIPTION:Anorexia\, Neurocognition\, and Practice Implications: An Outpatient Treatment Model\nHillary Bacon\nAnorexia nervosa (AN) is a potentially lethal eating disorder\, and current available treatment(s) for anorexia are inadequate at best (Bulik\, 2013). The illness has an alarmingly high relapse and mortality rate (Bulik\, 2013)\, which seems to have correlation to many factors that may be preventable. With access to a timely and accurate diagnosis\, access to treatment on a variety of levels of care and newer and more improved treatment modalities\, treatment for anorexia may begin to rise to the occasion. This capstone project seeks to examine some of the more specific challenges and potential solutions to these problems.  \nThree products make up this capstone project: a systematic literature review\, a conceptual paper\, and a practice application paper. The systematic literature review provides a targeted review of selected literature that serves to inform a new conceptualization of the selected social problem. The practice application paper presents a model that can be applied and work to resolve the social problem.   \nThe systematic literature review examined literature on anorexia and the brain. Literature was chosen that appeared to have implications in studying the neurological effects of anorexia\, and the way(s) an individual exhibits these effects during the illness. It was discovered that there are significant neurological changes and deficits occurring in the brain of an individual with anorexia\, and that these symptoms are often directly related to poor treatment outcomes.  These findings informed the conceptual paper and practice application papers. The conceptual paper explored the efficacy of the 12-Step intervention in addictive disorders\, due to the neurological\, cognitive and behavioral similarities between addictive disorders and anorexia. The practice application paper describes a steps model as a non-clinical intervention for anorexia.\nApril 24\, 2023 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Reproductive Healthcare Challenge: Exploring Considerations for Improvement in Social Work Education & Practice
DESCRIPTION:Reproductive Healthcare Challenge: Exploring Considerations for Improvement in Social Work Education & Practice\nOlymphia O’Neale-White\nThis presentation will discuss reproductive healthcare and associated challenges to expand social work practitioners’ competency for improved advocacy\, practice\, and education efforts. Professional terminology in reproductive literature and existing policies will be presented\, creating a baseline understanding of the conducted research for attendees. This will be followed by an in-depth exploration of social constructivism and reproductive healthcare. \nThis shapes the perception of care in both American societies and the social work profession. Secondary research involving social work students and reproductive health topics will be reviewed\, displaying current gaps in curricula and room for growth. Theoretical frameworks will also be highlighted\, with the Reproductive Justice Framework being presented as an option for standard practice in SWE and practical use in the field.   \nParticipants will leave the presentation with a better understanding of reproductive healthcare and their role as social work professionals to enact change.\nApril 24\, 2023 3:35 PM – 4:35 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

SUMMARY:Peer Support in a ​Recovery-Oriented Setting
DESCRIPTION:peer-support-in-a-recovery-oriented-setting\nStacey Reynolds\nPeer support is not achievable outside of a recovery-oriented system of care. This capstone project will identify the strengths and challenges of peer support in a behavioral health setting and will address the research question: How do you define\, supervise\, and train the peer support worker role in a behavioral health recovery setting? It defines recovery as defined by SAMSHA and will address peer support within this context. \nThis capstone will lead the journey on the history of mental health recovery\, and historical gains in the mental health consumer movement\, it will address mental health parity. It is a collection of three distinct papers that each stand alone in their own merit but collectively address peer support in a recovery-oriented setting. The unique view of this collection of papers looks at the current consensus of literature “Peer support is beneficial but proceed with caution”. \nThis collection of papers will highlight the “peer support is beneficial” but look specifically at “the proceed with caution” and addresses the findings identified in the capstone to propose and apply a solution to the identified challenges within the field by proposing the creation of a nonprofit called RESILIENCE\, that will offer peer support\, and consultation for organizations engaging in peer support\, with program development\, implementation\, and evaluation.\nApril 24\, 2023 3:35 PM – 4:35 PM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n

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: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

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:Simulation in Social Work Education: Elevating Competence in Mental Health\, Substance Use\, and Suicide Risk Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Simulation in Social Work Education: Elevating Competence in Mental Health\, Substance Use\, and Suicide Risk Assessment\nRobin Caswell\nThis presentation will provide an overview of the presenter’s capstone project\, which includes three scholarly products: a systematic literature review\, a conceptual paper\, and a practice application paper. \nThe systematic literature review focused on simulation-based learning as an innovative\, experiential\, teaching method in enhancing clinical competency skills in MSW students in field practicum and practice.  The conceptual paper presented a multi-dimensional framework for understanding and grounding simulation as a pedagogy\, connecting field education and social work curriculum. \nBridging the gap in research\, the 3rd and final product proposes a simulation education model for curriculum development that can be applied to graduate social work clinical courses.\n\nApril 25\, 2023 11:05 AM – 12:05 AM EDT\nREGISTER FOR CE CREDIT\n\n
