We as individuals, and our society, are experiencing multiple challenges each day. Therefore, it is more important than ever that we maintain the process of learning and growing professionally (personally too, of course). NASW’s Code of Ethics continues to facilitate this growth for Social Workers, through the revisions that guide us in our work with our Clients. This seminar will address the highlights of the code’s revisions regarding Cultural Awareness, Implicit Biases and Social Diversity. It will also identify definitions, look at some historical facts to enhance our view and understanding of unconscious/implicit bias; blind spot bias; and self-education. The benefits to our Clients, and empowerment for them, to let them teach us about their culture and related life experiences to help mitigate our implicit biases will also be addressed.

Course Description:

Health care professionals are key members of interdisciplinary teams that care for individuals with dementia and their families. The goal of this annual conference is to present aging research that help interdisciplinary care providers to recognize and appreciate the role that their strategies and techniques play in dementia care as well as how education and modeling is the driving force to make change in current practice. Alzheimer’s disease transformed from a rare disease into a very common one and then into a crisis, we will explore: (1) the impact hospitalization has on dementia outcomes, (2) current research findings in ALS and frontal temporal dementia overlap, (3) how to best keep those living with dementia safely in their homes (4) how to educate and inform on the importance of medication compliance with older adults for best health outcomes.

Course Description:

Health equity is an integral factor of any quality healthcare equation. This theme is equally powerful in the end-of-life, or serious illness space. Timely palliative and hospice referrals are delayed by ongoing misconceptions of their intent by patients and practitioners. Cultural competence impacts ethical conversations by case managers about patient autonomy, prognosis, and quality of life. Implicit biases impede effective pain management across ethnicity, gender, and race, among other groups. Further barriers to care access for minoritized and marginalized populations are amplified by their lack of access to clinical trials, which adds another obstacle to advancing appropriate care. ‘Patient-centric care’ is no longer enough. Every patient and family should feel safe, seen, heard, and valued, and through every touchpoint of care. Yet, achieving this reality is case management’s latest challenge.

Evolve your practice approach from “Patient-centric” to “Patient-inclusive”. Learn how Case Management’s Health Equity Pillars for Serious Illness (HEP-SI) empower the workforce to maintain their ethical balance amid the ongoing health equity evolution.

Course Description:

This presentation addresses the effect the aging phenomenon is having on our society, business and industry and people who deal with the care of an aging loved one. Being an adult caregiver is one of the most challenging jobs in the world. The impact can not only be horrific for the caregiver but also for employers. Adult caregivers miss work as they need to provide care, have periods of stress and hopelessness, all impacting organizations.

Using the lessons, I learned as an adult caregiver motivated me to write and publish a book titled, “A Son’s Journey: Taking Care of Mom and Dad.” I use the book as a platform for a heart-felt and informative presentation.

Understanding the challenges and solutions in dealing with the tsunami of age will assist Health Care Professionals and others thrive while better caring for a vulnerable population who are aging and in need of support.

Course Description:

Conflict is a healthy and inevitable part of personal and professional relationships. Conflict often arises because of breakdowns in communication, expectations (both spoken and unspoken), and trust. While many might prefer avoiding conflict altogether, it only manages to “pop-up” in unexpected ways at later times. Left unaddressed, it can have a negative and lasting impact on both relationships and outcomes. This is especially true when having difficult conversations around race and power. Non-Violent Communication (NVC)uses a four-part guide as part of its conflict resolution philosophy that is used to address conflict in a productive and transparent way. This webinar will introduce you to the model of Non-Violent Communication, review the four-part process, and identify opportunities to practice its application as a method for conflict resolution.

Course Description:

“Deconstructing Anxiety” is a new approach for rapidly uncovering the root causes of anxiety. It introduces powerful techniques for releasing the resistances that keep anxiety alive, getting at their source and transforming them into a sense of high purpose and meaning. There is a “core fear” at the root of all anxiety, expressing itself in five major universal themes of loss: (1) abandonment (loss of love) (2) loss of identity (3) loss of meaning (4) loss of purpose (5) fear of death. We develop our primary defenses as our best attempt to protect ourselves from these fears, but always at too great a cost. This leaves us constantly holding vigil, on the lookout for the resurfacing of the threat. We build our entire personality upon this fear-defense dynamic. When it gets out of control, an anxiety disorder develops. The theory and techniques discussed in this webinar will teach you how to uncover the core fear and chief defense quickly and reliably.

One would assume that executive function is a conversation only about students in the school setting, but clinicians are being asked to support their clients of any age, including adults with ADHD qualities (and thus challenges with executive function). These skills are essential, yet for a myriad of reasons they are not always easily accessible for our clients. This presentation will help clinicians (and educators) to better understand executive function’s challenges, and to learn strategies to help their clients to succeed.

Course Description:

. Resiliency research reveals three primary factors in building resiliency to overcome adversity and stress. Most important is the development of relational connection that communicates that one is loved, valued, wanted and cared for. Such connections mitigate isolation and self deprecation that often lead to depression. Second, is mastery/efficacy that provides experiences of success that enhance esteem and build motivation decreasing the risk of mental health disorders. Third, is the ability to regulate affect which increases executive functioning that is essential in rewiring the brain.
