Essential Workers: Pain Management is crucial for maintaining self-care

Course Description:

We have all heard over and over about the importance of self-care. It is now even part of our Code of Ethics’ most recent revision. Pain management is a crucial aspect of self-care. Both improved self-care, and pain management, will likely enhance our ability to care for ourselves and our Clients. What we also need to do is improve our understanding and acceptance of self-care as being more than just telling ourselves we need to have a better work/life balance. We need to determine and operationalize a personal self-care/pain management plan.

Clinical Practice with Groups (Group Therapy 101)

Course Description:

Group therapy has many iterations, many challenges, and many rewards. Clinical work with groups can also be daunting, overwhelming, and sometimes confusing. There is also misinformation associated with group therapy, for example, the “type” of clinician or healthcare worker who would be “qualified” to engage in such important clinical work or the type of group member who may be difficult and disruptive in the group. This presentation will dispel stereotypes with evidence-based practice research and proven group theories that prove to assist with providing a safe and beneficial experience for both the group member and the group facilitator. This presentation is foundational, offering concepts and theories to start a group. This presentation will be in sections, starting with pre-planning, beginning stages of the group, the first group meeting and the working stages of the group, and descriptions of what types of informal roles that might be assumed by members. Please come with questions and hopefully, an idea for starting a group. There will be time for case vignette discussion as well.

Essential Workers: Pain Management is crucial for maintaining self-care

Course Description:

We have all heard over and over about the importance of self-care. It is now even part of our Code of Ethics’ most recent revision. Pain management is a crucial aspect of self-care. Both improved self-care, and pain management, will likely enhance our ability to care for ourselves and our Clients. What we also need to do is improve our understanding and acceptance of self-care as being more than just telling ourselves we need to have a better work/life balance. We need to determine and operationalize a personal self-care/pain management plan.

Chronic Pain After Trauma

Course Description:

Chronic pain can be debilitating and limit the person's ability to function and enjoy life on a daily basis. Research shows that individuals with unresolved childhood trauma, mental health issues and brain injuries have a much higher chance for the development of chronic pain after an injury. Understanding the psychological component to chronic pain can be the first step to moving past the opioid cycle and back to a normal life.

Pain Symptoms as Messengers: Listening to the Body as a Pathway to Self-care

Course Description:

This webinar explores physical pain symptoms as bodily messengers that can help individuals understand and manage pain sensations by using mindfulness strategies. The unpleasant nature of pain symptoms generally lead to difficult emotions, which can then generate more pain. When this cycle of pain symptoms goes unnoticed or unaddressed, the cumulative effect can lead to more serious physical and mental health problems. In this webinar, participants will learn a body-sensing approach that differentiates emotions from physical feelings or sensations. The webinar includes experiential exercises so that participants will have the opportunity to practice the skills taught.

Motivational Interviewing: A Patient Centered Approach Toward Change

Course Description:

1.This training will explore Motivational Interviewing (MI) from a beginner and intermediate perspective. The key concepts of Motivational Interviewing will be introduced along with barriers to patient engagement and behavior change. The presenter will discuss how MI can be applied to the older adult population.

2.Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Many individuals are misdiagnosed, late diagnosed, or are not receiving appropriate treatment. Symptoms are expressed differently across individuals, making it more difficult for providers and family to understand the disease and how to help. With the combined experience of a PD trained clinician and an individual living with PD, this session will provide important information for recognizing and supporting individuals with PD in practical ways and in different settings.

3.Sensory impairment, combined with aging and/or cognitive deficits, can create a perfect storm of miscommunication and may impact quality of life, as well as assessment and management of pain. This session will examine sensory and behavior changes which occur with dementia. We will explore how to provide effective assessment and how to improve communication with individuals who are born with, or are aging with, cognitive deficits. (Qualifies for one pain CE).
