Bloom | FALL 2019

Dear Colleagues, This has been a monumental spring semester for the School of Social Work. We heard former Senator Barbara Mikulski speak about her achievements and lessons during her long and record-setting career. During our Wrongful Conviction series, we learned that when the innocent are accused and sentenced for crimes, there are ripple effects; not only for those accused but also for their families, the victims and the society at large. As this semester ends, we are looking ahead and planning for new events we will cultivate in the coming year. We continue to strive to bring attention to topics that are not only interesting, but are also pressing. This coming semester we are bringing our partners, the American Association of Suicidology, back to the School of Social Work to offer training on ways to assess for and prevent suicide. Suicide is the main cause of premature death in mental health service users and is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. The prevention of suicide is a major, global concern. Because there is no reliable data indicating any effectiveness of no-suicide contracts, it is important to have a number of clinical tools for clients experiencing suicidal ideation. We look forward to offering this training again and hope that you will join us.

Highlights of the Semester: u H.Y.P.E.: Healing Young People thru Empowerment u New Online, 90-minute Faculty Fiestas u 6th Annual Interprofessional Forum on Ethics and Religion in Health Care: What the Golden Rule Really Means in Serving the LGBTQ+ Community We thank our alumni and friends for your continued support. We are always open to receiving feedback and suggestions. In fact, many of the ideas for our workshops come from our participants and evaluations. We look forward to learning with you this semester.

Sincerely, SeantĂŠ A. Hatcher, LCSW-C Assistant Dean Office of Continuing Professional Education (CPE)

With 90% of suicide deaths linked to an untreated or under-treated mental health condition, it is imperative that every clinician be able to accurately identify chronic and acute risk factors for suicide, reasonably formulate the level of risk, and work with confidence to create and implement an effective treatment plan. Professional training programs rarely teach the skills necessary to adequately recognize and treat clients at risk for suicide. Few clinicians have time to keep up with the latest literature on indicators for suicide risk and effective management of care. This two-day advanced interactive, knowledge-and-skills training workshop will offer you results of more than 40 years' expertise in translating research into clinical practice in this state-of-the-art, state-of-the-science training program. It based on 24 established core competencies required for effective clinical assessment and management of individuals at risk for suicide. This workshop includes a web-based assessment and updated manuals with resource materials. The American Association of Suicidology is the developer of the RRSR Curriculum.

6th Annual Interprofessional Forum on Ethics and Religion in Health Care: What the Golden Rule Really Means in Serving the LGBTQ+ Community Date: Thursday, November 7, 2019 Gender identity, sexual orientation, and spirituality each play a part in forming our sense of self, our core values, and how we define community. Historically, health care systems and organized religions have not made efforts to identify the special needs of LGBTQ+ individuals and accommodate them, whether due to ignorance or bias. In this unique forum, we explore what the Golden Rule mandates in meeting ethical duties to promote well-being and “do no harm” for LGBTQ+ individuals seeking health care services. We welcome health care providers, ethics committee members, members of faith communities, and anyone interested in serving as an ally for the LGBTQ+ community as we explore ethical issues related to access and inclusion in health care delivery.

H.Y.P.E.: Healing Young People thru Empowerment Curriculum Training Date: Wednesday, September 4, 2019 Time: 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Location: School of Social Work-Baltimore Instructor: Adia Winfrey, PsyD CEUs: 6 Cost: $150 To meet your client where they are is one of the most important tenets in clinical work, especially when working with youth. Healing Young People thru Empowerment (H.Y.P.E.) is an evidence-based life skills and empowerment curriculum developed by Dr. Adia Winfrey that integrates psychology, Hip Hop culture, and dialogue for young people who are having difficulty in school, lacking motivation, or searching for a voice. More specifically, this curriculum addresses many diagnoses such as: Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Anxiety, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), PTSD, and bereavement. Music is a powerful connector and this curriculum helps youth create goals, identify steps needed to fulfill them, and connect with resources for continued support. Participants of this training will learn how to deliver the curriculum that will produce and promote emotional wellness. During this intensive oneday training, participants will receive detailed instruction for implementing the H.Y.P.E. Hip Hop Therapy curriculum and will examine issues and social concerns affecting at risk and underserved youth.

801W Money and Wellness: The Intersections of Financial and Behavioral Health: Recent findings suggest that the state of

our financial well-being contributes more to our behavioral health than previously understood. Yet, financial capability and asset building (FCAB) has not historically been recognized as a central tenet when assessing or treating behavioral health conditions. Understanding the relationship between financial wellness and behavioral health is important for clinicians, academics, and students. This session will provide an overview of the importance of integrating financial capability perspectives in addressing behavioral health and the impact both domains have on each other, introduce evidence-based financial and psychosocial interventions and assessment options, and highlight emerging issues of which practitioners should be aware of.

102 The Silent Victims: Children of Incarcerated Parents: More

than 2.7 million children in America have a parent in prison. This leaves the children of incarcerated parents to be raised by grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings and quite often, the State. Growing up with a parent who is incarcerated can have a devastating impact on the emotional development of a child and has a destabilizing effect on families. This training will provide a detailed exploration of this phenomenon and share strategies that helping professionals can use to address the needs of children and families affected by the issue.

103HC Who Let the ANTs Out? Treating Children with Anxiety Using CBT and Play Therapy: Social anxiety in children is among

the four most common forms of anxiety. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress, but too much stress can lead to automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) and ultimately panic attacks and various other forms of anxiety disorders. Participants will gain an understanding of anxiety and observe demonstrations of cognitive–behavioral and directive play therapy interventions for children and adolescents.

104 NEW Aggression in Play Therapy *HALF DAY*: Aggressive play is a controversial topic amongst therapists that work with children in play therapy. Understandably, there is much uncertainty around children being allowed to exhibit aggression in sessions and whether a therapist is promoting aggression by allowing it in the play therapy space. In this workshop, we will explore how aggression is an important and necessary theme in the play therapy process, especially with children that are trauma survivors. We will also explore the neuroscience around aggression and how therapists can use play therapy to promote growth in the child, while also preventing compassion fatigue in the therapist.

107 Beyond Cutting: An In-depth Look at Self Injury: This workshop will examine the various forms of self-injury behavior that go beyond cutting. It is estimated that two million people in the United States injure themselves in some way. Self-injury, which is also known as self-harm or self-mutilation, refers to individuals who intentionally and repeatedly harm themselves. The methods most often implored are cutting, but can also include such things as hair pulling (trichotillomania), banging, and interfering with wound healing (dermatillomania). Various issues will be discussed including but not limited to propensity, forms of injury, risk factors, brain development, comorbidity, non-suicidal self-injury diagnosis, and treatment modalities. This is an interactive workshop with case scenarios presented and discussed.

200W New Finding the Words: Engaging African American Men Around Mental Health, Well-Being, and Relationships HALF DAY:

Battling depression and anxiety within the African American community will be THE major health crisis of the 21st Century, even more than cancer and heart disease. Understanding and addressing the mental health concerns of African American men will be one of the greatest weapons in that fight. By identifying and diffusing some of the obstacles that prevent African American men from seeking professional help, particularly the stigma of mental health and therapy, we believe a pathway to a healthier and stronger community can be and will be paved.

201SG The Art of Deep Empathy: Empathy is one of the therapist’s most important – and sometimes most taken-for-granted – therapeutic tools. Yet, it often is misunderstood, both conceptually and in terms of application and technique. This workshop will clarify what empathy is (and isn’t), how to achieve a deep empathic connection, and the two distinct modes of verbally empathizing: the conventional “You” mode and the more specialized “Identification” mode. It will also demonstrate special applications of empathy to deepen the therapeutic process with couples and families. Participants will have the opportunity to practice the specialized Identification mode of empathy. Wednesday, September 11, 2019; 9:00 a.m. -

✺202 NEW From Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder to Post Traumatic Growth: Trauma is a universal experience that every human

being endures at some point in their life. Some individuals sustain multiple traumas, and some become so pervasive and acute that they manifest in the form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This workshop will focus on understanding the concept and the theory of what trauma is and how individuals can grow and thrive despite their trauma narrative. Different theories will be explored, but a particular focus will be on strength-based theories to help consumers build on or acquire resiliency concepts that help them to reshape and reform the trauma narrative from that of victim to that of survivor. A myriad of treatment modalities will be explored, including strength-based theories, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and art therapy.

203 NEW Sleep and Mental Health *HALF DAY*: Is sleep something

that you routinely ask your clients about? If so, are you knowledgeable about what exactly sleep is and the benefits it affords? Do you have a clear understanding of how sleep is related to mental illness and mental health? Are you up on the latest research on strategies and treatments? This class will give you information to help your clients sleep well and to reverse their worst sleep habits and behaviors. This will allow them to feel more energy, to be more productive, feel more relaxed and optimistic, and to cope better with life’s day-to-day stressors.

204HC How to Create Welcoming Environments and Services for People with Minority Sexual Orientation, Gender Identifiers, and Expressions: Inclusion is key for any healthcare agency. However,

some service providers struggle to implement policies and procedures that support engagement with and retention of LGBT clients and their families. Some providers are hesitant to ask questions about sexual health behaviors, are concerned about insulating clients by questioning their gender, and feel unprepared to offer resources/referrals to people with minority sexual orientation gender identifiers and expressions. However, these fears affect not only the provider or agency, but also the quality of services that LGBT people receive, potentially resulting in healthcare disparities. This workshop will offer an overview of LGBT terminology, healthcare disparities, how agencies and providers can use policies to support clients, and national resources.

205SG Sexual Health: Implications for Social Work Practice:

Sexuality is central to human development across the life span, and yet social workers are often not educated on sexual health or trained to talk about sex with our clients. Sexual wellness, or the lack thereof, can be an enormous source of empowerment or oppression for the individuals we serve. As social workers, we are often one of our client’s main sources of Register for workshops online at www.ssw.umaryland.edu/cpe | 11

information for many aspects of their health and support for wellness; we should be prepared to provide that same support for issues of sexual health. In addition, by exploring issues of sexual wellness, social workers can increase awareness of their own unconscious bias that may affect their work with clients.

unique for each individual. The tools of mindfulness can provide ways for clients to meaningfully integrate their grief into their personal narrative and to cope with the challenges that grief can create. Through lectures, experiential exercises, and discussions, participants will explore the interconnection of grief and mindfulness, examine how mindfulness can help clients with meaning reconstruction after significant loss, and develop a toolkit of mindfulness exercises to assist clients in processing grief, loss and transitions.

and the related health, social, and psychological consequences have been increasing for the last 15 years. Last year, there were more opiate overdose deaths than deaths from AIDS at the height of the HIV epidemic in the 80s and 90s. Substance abuse is a complex social problem that has profound implications for today’s social workers. The purpose of this course is to increase participants' understanding of the biology and psychology of opiate addiction, the effects of addiction on the health of individuals with opiate use disorder (OUD), how OUD affects children and families, and how to address the stigma around substance use and its treatment.

components of a healthy, happy life and yet approximately 40% of women struggle with Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). This important clinical issue includes challenges of desire, arousal, orgasm, and sexual pain. Our multifaceted, sex-positive training will incorporate information from the fields of sexual health education and sex therapy to provide participants with an understanding of specific sexual health issues of women, the clinical impact of FDS, and best practices in treatment. This information is useful for social workers in many areas to best support the clients they serve. Friday,

209W Infidelity and Affairs: Helping Couples Heal Their Broken Hearts *HALF DAY*: The disclosure of an affair is among the most

devastating and painful experiences that couples face. It is also one of the most challenging and complicated problems encountered in therapy. This workshop will examine various forms of infidelity, the impact of its discovery on each spouse and the marriage, and issues of recovery and treatment. Some of the challenges encountered in treatment include how much information about the affair should be disclosed; how to help with shattered trust, hypervigilance, and anxiety; and how to build empathy between the partners. Some important insights that have been gained in understanding and treating infidelity and affairs will be reviewed. In addition, a framework for the treatment of infidelity rooted in Relationship Enhancement therapy will be presented. Wednesday, December 11, 2019; 10:00 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1:30 p.m.

506 NEW Honoring Invisible Messengers: The Ethical Case for Integrating Pain Management into Clinical Practice *HALF DAY*: According to a seminal report prepared by the Institute of Medicine

(IOM), the annual national economic costs associated with chronic pain is estimated to be $560-635 billion. Providers attempting to respond to this growing clinical crisis consistently come up short with effective interventions for complex pain despite its prevalence and despite the parallel growth of the opioid epidemic. There is a profound deficit of empirically-based, best practices for pain management, and much of this deficit is driven by stigma and archaic conceptualizations of pain. Furthermore, pain as a phenomenon is fundamentally medicalized and subject to a myriad of provider-based biases – both of which are major drivers of ineffective and disparate care. Additionally, there is a lack of attention to the innumerable ways that individuals assign value and meaning to their lived experience of being in pain. This training aims to ethically frame the need to listen to individuals reporting pain through highlighting the human costs resulting from ineffective treatment; the connection between chronic pain and early complex trauma; and through providing research-informed strategies to engage with patient Register for workshops online at www.ssw.umaryland.edu/cpe | 15

602 NEW Negotiation and Conflict Resolution: This course will introduce the topic of negotiation as a fundamental tool to achieve one’s goals within a multicultural context. Research shows that 80% of executives leave value on the negotiation table. The course offers to develop negotiation skills beyond the traditional tactical approach. Negotiation is a fundamental skill for any person who wishes to succeed in their personal and professional life at every level. In the globalized, and interconnected society of today, we need to strive to build societies where we build successful personal and business relationships and where we strengthen the threads of our social fabric. We need to be competitive, but we also need to develop trust and goodwill. Preparing for negotiations begins long before we meet our counterparts and it requires strategies that go beyond an effective interaction. This course looks at negotiation from three different perspectives: Context (Strategic Arena), The Value Offer (Creative Arena), and The Negotiation Table (Tactical Arena). Using Harvard Case Simulation methodology, students will have an opportunity to develop, hone, and evaluate their skills.
