Dean’s Address Dear Colleagues, The School of Social Work’s Office of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) offers the opportunity for high-quality, lifelong learning to social workers and human service professionals who seek to increase their professional understanding, skills and accomplishments. We are very proud of the work that we are doing to match the talents of our CPE instructors with those of our professional community and continue to engage new instructors to teach in innovative areas. We have a significant array of new workshops and special events—with an emphasis on suicide prevention that is in response to the considerable growth in suicide across age groups, gender, and social class. Our Fall 2015 catalog offers workshops that will stimulate you to achieve new possibilities for addressing societal challenges.

Special Events The Many Faces of Suicide: A clinician’s worst nightmare is to receive the message that a client has committed suicide. Not only is it heartbreaking news, but it can also have negative implications professionally. Join us as we kick off the National Suicide Prevention Week (Sept. 6-12) by viewing the film, Boy Interrupted and discussing liability concerns and current suicide prevention/ intervention. Our guest speakers include Dr. Lanny Berman, a nationally renowned suicidality expert; Michelle Cornette, the Executive Director of the American Association of Suicidology, and Shanetta Malkia, the founding President of Empowerment Essence and Former Ms. Maryland (2014).

Evidence-based practice is a complex orientation that is not highly developed in social work practice. This training focuses on a fundamental form of evidence in clinical social work practice - use of scales, tests, standardized measures, structured clinical interviews, and standardized forms for information gathering. The training will cover basic knowledge needed to use informal and formal structured and standardized measures to support and supplement intervention strategies. There will be a survey of information gathering through scales and specific learning for use of basic measures of anxiety and depression. Also, there will be a review of an array of other scales that can be used in clinical social work practice.

While IPV is seemingly intractable, interventions continue to lack a larger vision or interdisciplinary approaches in practice, research, evaluation and engagement that are collaborative, comprehensive and effective. The symposium with keynote speaker, Jacqueline Campbell, is our shared opportunity to help create a broader vision and build on evidence based practice.

Daniel Thursz Lecture Dr. David Tobis will discuss the events captured in his new book From Pariahs to Partners: How Parents and Their Allies Changed New York City’s Child Welfare System. In his book, Dr. Tobis describes how the number of children in foster care decreased from almost 50,000 in 1992 to 11,000 today. He describes how such dramatic change was driven by a movement of mothers whose children had been placed into foster care, who also fought to become advocates and stakeholders in a system that had previously viewed them as pariahs. They formed alliances with government and agency social workers and administrators, lawyers, foundation officers, and other advocates. His work serves as an example of how advocates and their allies can change a system and make it more socially just.

2nd Series of NeuroFeedback Neurofeedback, a type of “brain training” that allows us to see and change patterns of our brain, has existed for over 40 years, with wide-ranging applications. The brain’s circuitry-that includes the frequencies and rhythmic oscillations--connects to our emotional stability and resilience. Neurofeedback allows clinicians to guide their clients as they transform their brain-wave patterns, providing new capacities for responding. This series offers many clinical insights into brain-mind interaction and opens a new window into how mental illness is viewed and treated.

*Register for all 3 lectures for $165 Neurofeedback for Individuals, Couples, and Families with Symptoms: This workshop highlights the integration of neurofeedback into consultation with individuals, couples and families. Symptoms in the individual or relationships reflect the reactivity present in the interdependent family system as it adapts to the reality of life -- for better or worse. Within a family systems framework, functioning of the individual is a window into the reactivity patterns of the system as a whole. Individual reactivity is a product of the developmental process over generations that can be seen and experienced on the neurofeedback technology. Tuesday, September 22, 2015, 9:15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.; Baltimore; $65; CEUs: 3; Instructor: Priscilla Friesen, LICSW An Odyssey: From Own Family to Clinical Practice to Designing Pilot Programs: Interviewing one person and including a family diagram gives us an idea of the multigenerational issues that both the individual and family face. One can see and then activate the available family support enhancing the ability of the person to be more aware of the challenges to being more self-defined. There will be a case example from the presenter’s family, demonstrating how both greater awareness of the multigenerational process, and the use of neurofeedback to promote integration of experience, increased the family communication and the functioning of the various members. Tuesday, October 13, 2015, 9:15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., Baltimore; $65, CEUs: 3, Instructor: Andrea Schara, LCSWA Broadening the Health Focus: The Use of Neurofeedback and Bowen Family Systems Theory to Address Acute and Chronic Pain and Physical Symptoms in an Integrated Physical Therapy/Sustainable Health Clinic: This workshop will discuss how neurofeedback works to assist a person to change their response to chronic pain. Chronic pain is different from acute pain in that there is typically no identifiable tissue damage but the person’s brain is responding to the experience of fear in a way that produces a REAL and sustained pain response. Bowen Family Systems theory offers a broad framework that engages a client’s best thinking around ALL of the relationship challenges in life that contribute to maintaining a chronic fight, flight or freeze response. Attendees will gain a better understanding of chronic pain, the function of pain for the person and the family system, neurofeedback’s impact on the pain response and how to combine neurofeedback and counseling in a non-mental health setting.

✺ 112 *NEW* Unpacking the “NO” of Permanency for Older Adolescents: Exploring Permanency Pathways for Youth in Foster Care: All youth in the child welfare system need a permanent loving family who can provide life-long connections. These connections are crucial in achieving successful outcomes for youth in foster care. Permanency is important for all youth, but there are times when it can be difficult for youth and some professionals to fully understand the value of ensuring that all youth have a permanent family. This interactive workshop will provide a definition of youth permanency, review policy changes and national data on older youth in foster care, and explore strategies on how to address resistance from youth to having a permanent family. Wednesday, December 2, 2015, 9:15 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Chauncey Strong, LGSW 113DC Igniting Greatness in Youth through Empowerment Not Pressure: Adolescence is a developmental milestone marked with self-exploration and identity formation. In order for identity to be developed, youth must have the opportunity to try new things and make mistakes. More than ever before, parents and adults are pressuring youth to achieve at higher levels, participate in more activities, and make planning decisions at earlier points in their life. As a result, youth have become over-stressed and lack selfesteem. This workshop will also explore the importance of empowering youth to explore and form their identity. Friday, December 4, 2015; 9:15 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., District of Columbia, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Michelle Willis, LCSW-C 200 - ADULTS, COUPLES AND FAMILIES 200 NEW 50 Shades of What?!?: Understanding and Communicating More Knowledgably and Comfortably about BDSM with Clients: The book and more recently the movie, 50 Shades of Grey, have caused a cultural phenomenon. The book was an international best seller and the movie set box office records. The press and popular discussion about the book, film and the behaviors described/depicted in them have generally been judgmental, biased, often “sex-negative,” and spoken from ignorance rather than from knowledgeable understanding of BDSM and BDSM “players.” In addition, the book and movie have generated questions and curiosity from young people who have read or heard about them. This workshop will help social workers in all areas of practice, particularly those who work with couples and/or young people better understand and become knowledgeable enough to discuss 50 Shades of Grey and BDSM. It will enable practitioners to help couples have conversations about curiosity generated by the book/movie and to answer questions young people are asking about them.

And, unless a client is being seen specifically for related sexual concerns, it is unlikely that sexual issues are addressed in that context either. Sexual behavior and drug/alcohol use are inescapably linked in many people’s lives. The behaviors do not have to be pathological to be problematic, but for the alcoholic/addict the combination is toxic and potentially deadly.

✺ 204SG NEW Psychological Effects of Detention/Incarceration: According to

the US Census Bureau, the United States has less than 5% of the world’s population, yet it has 23% of the world’s prison population. In addition, reports estimate that 1 in 100 adults are in prison. Imprisonment is costly to the nation with an annual cost of $60.3 billion and with an average cost of $24, 000 per inmate. Detention and incarceration are no longer limited to a certain age group, race, or gender; it can affect juveniles and adult offenders alike. This workshop will explore the similarities and differences between adolescent and adult criminal pathology. Issues to be discussed include: offender typologies, role of trauma, co-occurring disorders, “war on drugs,” gender differences, racial disparities, and re-entry. Current literature will be discussed and participants will be able to articulate the psychological effects of detention/incarceration. This is an interactive workshop with case scenarios presented and discussed. Saturday, September 19, 2015, 9:15 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Shady Grove, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Veronica Cruz, LCSW-C

✺ 205SG The Silent Trauma of the Immigrant Experience: The Lasting Impact of Family Separation: This workshop will bring exposure to the issues related to family separation due to immigration.

every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape. The victim often has nowhere to turn for emotional support and sometimes is further confused by the often well meaning, but misinformed reactions of those around her. Interventions that are

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK

based on a concrete knowledge of the survivor’s needs, as well as an understanding of one’s own reactions, are critical in facilitating the victim to survivor process. Wednesday, October 7, 2015, 1:15 p.m. - 4:30 p.m., Shady Grove, $65, CEUs: 3, Instructor: Marsha Stein, LCSW-C

✺ 207 *NEW* How to Engage Parents as Partners: Teaching Them Skills to Coach the Child at Home: This training will begin with strategies to connect and maintain contact with parents who are struggling to parent children who are challenging due to special needs or difficult temperaments. Parents who themselves have difficulty connecting with their children will find it difficult to model and coach behaviors they want for their children. Principles from the Adlerian approach to parenting, mindfulness exercises, relevant principles of Gestalt and child centered play therapy will be discussed, demonstrated, and practiced. Thursday, October, 8, 2015, 9:15 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Sonia Hinds, APRN-BC, RPT 208*NEW* Trauma Whisperers: Part II: Over the last six years, the Trauma Whisperers workshops have become popular nationally. In response to repeated inquiries, this new, clinically relevant workshop is meant to build on the general strategies offered in Trauma Whisperers workshops and offer participants more advanced technical approaches for working with patients with complex trauma issues. Theoretical approaches considered will include: object relations, Lacanian, narrative, and feedback-informed treatments. Through careful video review of the presenter’s and others’ work in treatment, participants will be encouraged to share their own clinical dilemmas in trauma treatment in order to create the most clinically meaningful learning experience. In offering strategies to help clinicians sustain their work with often difficult and confounding patients, contemporary approaches to ensure treatment accountability will also be considered. Thursday, October 22, 2015, 9:15 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Daniel Buccino, LCSW-C 209SG *NEW* Choose Your Attitude: You Create the Experience: The way you think impacts you both professionally and personally. The experience of compassion fatigue is generally associated with a protracted period of stress along with negative thinking. This leaves you vulnerable to both burnout and compassion fatigue. The onset of burnout, a condition at the end of the stress continuum, is usually gradual and not always noticeable. The symptoms of cumulative stress responses and burnout for our everyday reaction to stressors are often mistaken. Your ability to cope productively will decline as cumulative stress responses increase, leading to functioning at sub-optimal levels in all areas of life. This dynamic, fast paced and interactive workshop uses lecture, small group exercises, large group discussions, and experiential learning. Wednesday, October 28, 2015, 9:15 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Shady Grove, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Jennifer Alfonso, LCSW-C 210HC Collaborative Divorce and the Role of the Mental Health Professional: Divorce as a Transformative Process: Divorce has long been viewed as a legal process and has been managed almost exclusively by family law attorneys. Attorneys skilled in family law typically do not have training in family dynamics, systems theory, child development or communication skills…skills valuable to families undergoing this transition. Since 1981, a new field of practice has been evolving in which specially trained professionals in the areas of law, mental health and finance are working together to help families through this very stressful life transition. Participants of this workshop will gain an understanding of the genesis of collaborative practice, its basic principles, how it differs from other processes, the role of the mental health professional and the application of this innovative field in divorce. Participants will also understand the impact of separation and divorce on children, adults and families as well as techniques that will benefit these populations in dealing with separation and divorce. They will also gain an understanding of their next steps if they are interested in pursuing more advanced training.

211SG *NEW* HIV and Sex Workers: Sex workers throughout the world have sex many times in one day, with many different partners with whom they have no knowledge of their sexual history or HIV status. This puts sex workers at extreme risk not only for contracting the HIV virus, but also prolifically spreading the HIV virus with their sexual partners and their sexual partners’ partner. This workshop will examine the spectrum of sex work in the United States and around the world. This workshop will also examine best practices in prevention programs for sex workers and barriers to providing prevention services to sex workers. Friday, November 6, 2015, 9:15 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Shady Grove, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Ronald LaFleur, LICSW 212 *NEW* Removing Barriers to Loving: Understanding Why Couples Sabotage the Love They Say They Desire: When earliest intimate relationships are painful, we build skills to protect from the love they desperately need. As adults, we unconsciously employ the same protection with loved ones, erecting unconscious barriers to the love we desire. Through personal and patient examples, the presenter will highlight these relational dynamics, inviting participants to explore their own relational process, in order to more effectively guide patients to overcome their barriers to loving. Friday, December 4, 2015, 9:15 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Joel H. Marcus, LCSW-C 300 – AGING 300SG Caring for Senior Citizens and Understanding Alzheimer Disease: Nearly one in four households is involved in caregiving to senior citizens. Additionally, approximately 4-million Americans are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and 70% live at home and are cared for by their families. What are the needs of these populations and those who care for them? This seminar will look at effective communication strategies, resources and legal considerations.

This interactive program will offer a frank look at the types of depression seniors encounter, how to determine who is at risk and how to best treat it. Making appropriate referrals, addressing suicidal ideations, and discussing special considerations for older adults in nursing homes and assisted living communities will be covered.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK

older were current (past month) illicit drug users. This estimate represents 9.4 percent of the population ages 12 or older. The abuse of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs is costly to the nation with an annual cost of $600 billion related to crime, lost jobs, productivity, and healthcare related expenses. Addiction is no longer limited to a certain age group, race, or gender; it can affect the entire lifespan. This workshop will explore addiction trends across the lifespan: prenatal, early childhood/school age, adolescent, young adult, adult, and elderly. Issues to be discussed include: genetic predispositions, gender differences, cycle of addiction, stages of development, user typologies, social media, and treatment modalities. Current literature will be discussed and participants will be able to articulate the importance of exploring various prevention and intervention techniques. This is an interactive workshop where case vignettes will be presented and participants will work in a group setting. Saturday, September 26, 2015, 9:15 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Veronica Cruz, LCSW-C 401 Human Development and Chemical Dependency: This course examines the relationship between human development and the counseling process. Utilizing the psychosocial perspective originally developed by Erik Erikson, counselors will be provided with a useful conceptual framework for understanding developmental issues as they appear in the therapeutic process. Regardless of a counselor’s theoretical preference, answering a number of relevant questions dealing with life’s developmental tasks, will give direction to the counseling process. Counselors who work with a developmental perspective are able to see continuity in life and better understand the directions their clients have taken. This perspective will be used to assist the client to view a broader picture of the individual’s struggle and discover some important connections among the various stages of their lives.

It also focuses on understanding available treatment options (and their varying success rates), providing the treatment modalities where providers are skilled and collaborating with other providers to secure the treatment modalities which we do not provide.
