Bloom | FALL 2020

Dear Colleagues, First, I wish you and your family health and wellness. It is safe to say that 2020 is unlike anything we could have possibly imagined. Nevertheless, as the adage goes, the only thing constant in the world is change. I am certain that, through resiliency, we will come through this and find ways to be better for it. As many of you know, during this time our office transferred all of our workshops to a virtual platform and to a new learning management system. This new system is equipped to not only handle our live, interactive workshops, but it can also handle a-synchronous, at-your-own-pace workshops. Please be on the lookout for those new offerings. We are also now an approved CE sponsor through the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB), which allows us to offer CE credits to social workers nationally. We proactively made these upgrades with the forethought that we needed to have a robust online presence, but without knowing that 2020 would cause much of the world to function solely online. We are excited to be in the position to offer our entire fall semester virtually. We invite all of our Alumni and friends across the country to learn with us. In the theme of change, we welcome our new Dean, Dr. Judy L. Postmus. Dr. Postmus was the Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Development at Rutgers University School of Social Work. She is also a nationally recognized scholar of violence against women and children. Throughout her career, she has demonstrated a commitment to service and inclusiveness, a collaborative management style, and strength in decision-making. As always, we thank you, 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 their evaluations. We look forward to learning with you this semester and always.

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

Specials Election Tuesday Series The Role of Social Work Before, During, and After Lecture: Free CEs: 4.5; $20 per session; $50 for all three sessions All events are open to student, faculty, social workers, and community members. Elections are part of our larger national and local dialogues about the meaning of inclusion and exclusion in shaping our identity and values. This series of three events will explore if, how, and why elections matter. If they matter — to what purpose? How can elections be used to effect change? What are some of the differences between working at the local, state, and national levels? What are the forces that impact our ability to participate in elections as voters, candidates, and social workers who seek to shape our society?

September 15, 2020 from 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM

The first event will focus on voter registration, education, and turnout and will feature local community organizations engaged in such efforts. Attendees will gain concrete guidance on how individuals and agencies can register and mobilize potential voters. In addition we will focus on the threats we currently are experiencing in the form of calculated voter suppression strategies and what we can do about that.

November 10, 2020 from 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM

This event will be a forum for brainstorming how we respond as individuals, a school, and a community, given the outcome of the election at the local, state, and national levels. This event is designed as an interactive panel discussion.

December 1, 2020 from 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM

This event will feature a political analysis of the election and its outcome. An invited commentator (TBD) will provide us with a broader conceptual picture of the elections in a lecture format with an extended question and answer format. This series is sponsored by the Social Work Community Outreach Service (SWCOS), Thursz Social Justice Lecture Series, Macro Curriculum Committee, Policy Sequence, the Community Action, and Social Policy Specialization, and the Office of Continued Education.

All events are open to student, faculty, social workers, and community members. Many of the published resources around tele-mental health focus largely on providing care to individuals. For many that serve couples, families, and groups, there is a collective realization of the difference in needs, assessment, communication, and engagement when providing support to more than one person simultaneously from a distance. Through live instruction, polling, and a Q&A, we’ll compare HIPAA secure platform features that allow for multipoint connection, review of key terminology, explore single-point versus multi-point advantages and challenges, engagement techniques, insurance adjustments, ethical concerns, and online group guidelines when serving multiple participants.

Like the in-person model that we have conducted over the past two years, it will meet an identified need for greater financial capability and empowerment knowledge on the part of social workers and helping professionals of all disciplines who practice in non-profit and other social service agencies, as well as in schools, medical settings, justice and court settings, and beyond. Stay tuned in Fall 2020 for more info and applications at www.ssw.umaryland.edu/cpe and www.ssw.umaryland.edu/fsw.

100 Play Therapy Plain and Simple: Directive and Non-Directive Play Therapy Techniques: The demand for training and play therapy

services as a therapeutic modality has recently surged. But what exactly is play therapy and how does it work to bring about healing to children and families? How can playing with toys help children heal from some of the deepest traumatic wounds? Why has play therapy been what appears to be “the best kept secret” for so many years? Attend this introductory, information-rich workshop and learn the responses to these questions. Moreover, learn the differences between directive and non-directive play therapy, as well as at least four interventions that can be used immediately.

Trafficking: When most people hear "human trafficking," they think of the movie, Taken, or about foreign nationals smuggled into the US. However, multiple cases of domestic human trafficking have been reported in all 50 states. There are numerous risk factors, which include any set of experiences that may lead to increased emotional or physical vulnerability. These experiences include a history of neglect or abuse, low self-esteem, poverty, and foster care placement. This workshop will explore the latest data on the overlap between child welfare and sex trafficking and will discuss the training needs of child welfare workers to equip themselves with the skills and knowledge necessary to serve this vulnerable population.

Census Bureau statistics, the United States has less than 5% of the world’s population, yet it has 23% of the world’s prison population. A collateral consequence of this imprisonment trend is the amount of youth with a history or current pattern of parental incarceration. These children face an array of challenges and need comprehensive client and culturally-sensitive support. An emphasis will be placed on risk and protective factors, trauma Register for workshops online at www.ssw.umaryland.edu/cpe | 9

200 Infidelity and Affairs: Helping Couples Heal their Broken Hearts: 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.

their families. Providers fear asking questions about sexual health behaviors, fear insulting clients by asking their gender, and overall feel unprepared for offering resources/referrals to LGBT clients. However, these fears don’t just affect the provider or agency: They impact the quality of services that LGBT people receive and foster health disparities. This workshop will offer an overview of LGBT terminology, healthcare disparities, how agencies and providers can create supportive polices and welcoming procedures for LGBT clients.

202 The Basics of Sex Therapy for the Non-Sex Therapist: Helping Clients with their Sexual Issues in Individual and Couples Therapy: Most clients will struggle with some aspect of their

sex life, whether it is issues with sexual desire, sexual anxiety or aversion, sexual frustration, problems with arousal and orgasm, differences in desire between partners, or painful sex. However, many clients go no further than their individual or couples therapist to work on their sexual concerns. This seminar introduces individual and couples therapists to the basics of helping their clients with their sexual concerns. This training will give you the basic anatomy, physiology, and practices of sex therapy to have enough competence and confidence to both talk to and help many of your clients in your practice. Wednesday, October 14, 2020; 9:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.;

203 Relationship Enhancement (RE) Therapy for Couples and Families: RE Therapy combines a psychoeducational skills-training

approach with deep emotional processing designed to transform couples’ and families’ negative patterns of interaction into positive, nurturing ones, so as to facilitate deepened emotional connection and healing in ruptured relationships. The core RE skills focus on how to manage conflict effectively and how to dialogue in order to uncover clients’ most vital feelings, concerns, and desires. This in turn empowers even the most distressed couples and families to resolve current and future problems on their own. An additional strength of RE Therapy is that it equalizes power within relationships, both between genders and across generations. RE Therapy is supported by 40 years of research that validates its clinical effectiveness. This introductory workshop will briefly introduce the theory and practice of RE therapy. More importantly, the focus will be on the core RE skill of deep empathy, including how to understand it, how to teach it to couples, and how to employ the special Identification Mode of verbal empathy.

204 Living and Working with a Chronic Condition: A Review of How Treatment Fatigue Can Impact Our Clients' Outcomes:

Almost 50% of Americans are living with at least one chronic condition. Register for workshops online at www.ssw.umaryland.edu/cpe | 11

Bloom | FALL 2020

For some, these conditions are manageable and have little impact on their daily lives. However, most Americans report a change in their daily lives because of their symptoms, lost productivity, and lost social opportunities as they engage in care systems. Over time people may experience treatment fatigue, which can lead to a disengagement from the health care system. This workshop will review the causes of treatment fatigues and methods to assist patients experiencing it. This workshop will also focus on creating environments that support staff in our workplaces living with chronic conditions as well. Wednesday, October 28, 2020; 9:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.; Live

205 Intimate Partner Violence in the Workplace: Intimate Partner Violence doesn’t stay at home. Nearly a third of women killed in U.S. workplaces were killed by a current or former intimate partner. While women are disproportionately affected by domestic violence, men and people of all backgrounds have been also victims. What is the role of managers in relation to victims as well as the safety of everyone at the workplace? How do we create an organizational culture that supports victims and promotes a safe workplace for all?

Communities of Color: According to the Institute for Women’s Policy,

women of color experience higher rates of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and homicide than White women. Sexual assault is about manipulation and methodology, and incidents are often upheld by cultural and systemic infrastructures. This workshop will explore and identify risk and protective factors for sexual violence. The culture of silence will be discussed in order to fully understand how breaking the silence of sexual violence can help prevent sexual abuse. Participants will discuss the various forms of sexual trauma and the psychosocial and collateral factors related to sexual violence. This is an interactive workshop where case vignettes will be presented and discussed. Thursday, November 5, 2020; 1:15 p.m. – 4:30

Contrary to popular belief, older adults are still able to engage in sexual activity if they desire. Although uncomfortable to most, this is a very important topic that needs to be addressed with health care professionals and their clients. Oftentimes health care professionals forget that seniors are adults and have the right to engage in sexual activity. However, there are many things to consider, such as cognition, and ethical discussions that need to be conducted. This interactive program will offer insight into what seniors are looking for in later years and how to go about approaching and assessing seniors on the subject of sex and intimacy.

✺400 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Substance Use Disorders: With all of the rumors, legends, myths and

misinformation that exist about attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), it can be difficult to know what is fact and what is fiction. Is there a relationship between ADHD and substance abuse? If so, why does this correlation exist? Finally, what can be done to prevent substance abuse and treat the symptoms if they have already begun? ADHD has historically been a diagnosis shrouded with judgment and a devaluing of its existence. However, with current evidence, it seems clear that people with ADHD are more likely than the general population to have higher rates of substance abuse that begin at earlier ages. This training will discuss what ADHD is and the neurobiology and etiology that increases the likelihood of someone being diagnosed with ADHD. The training will explore the symptoms and strengths of ADHD and tie in how SUD is linked to this diagnosis. And Register for workshops online at www.ssw.umaryland.edu/cpe | 13

finally, effective treatment options will be identified to help stop the trend of people with ADHD being at higher risk for substance abuse, including working to know the facts, the use of medication, and understanding the triggers.

✺500 Narrative and Situation-Based Ethics in Social Work Practice: Tuning into Our Clients' Stories and Situations:

Professional ethics courses often teach us to analyze and apply facts, rules, standards, and principles. People’s lives tend to be much more complex than these deductive approaches suggest, however. The first half of this workshop will introduce you to narrative ethics, an approach to managing ethical issues by engaging clients and colleagues in richer, more meaningful discussions of issues pertaining to professional boundaries, conflicts of interest, cross-cultural conflicts, intimate partner abuse, confidentiality, and other ethical issues. For the second half of this workshop, the presenter will demonstrate a situation-based approach to managing ethical issues by discussing practice situations submitted by registered participants in advance of the workshop.

navigate and understand the ‘person in the environment,’ it is necessary for social workers to be aware of the various laws and regulations that impact clinical and macro practice. This workshop will explore the context and various kinds of requirements social workers are obligated to follow. The workshop will include opportunities to enhance skills for locating and understanding laws and regulations relevant to social work practice. Risk Management Strategies will also be explored, and a Policy Guide will be provided. Friday, September 18, 2020; 9:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.; Live Interactive

Different Health Care Disciplines: All licensed health professionals are required to follow rules and regulations more commonly known as professional ethics. Often these rules overlap, but what do you do when your code of ethics conflicts with another discipline’s obligations? How do you determine what is best for the patient? How does a multidisciplinary team stay intact when ethical conflicts arise? Join us for this lively discussion on how to better understand and empathize with the values of your coworkers.

An emphasis will be placed on exploring dual relationships 14

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK

and boundary issues to enhance and improve ethical responsibilities and reduce ethical violations. This workshop will discuss common practice areas that raise ethical dilemmas and explore the Code of Ethics and propose various ethical decision-making models that can be utilized to resolve these ethical conflicts. Issues explored will be: Code of Ethics, understanding direct service situations, exploring professional relationships and limitations, ethical framework models, and best practice techniques. This is an interactive workshop where case vignettes will be presented to further maximize their understanding of the concepts presented. Friday,

With full awareness of limitations in intervention and practice liability, this fear has contributed to negative perceptions toward telehealth amongst service providers while supporting an unofficial best practice to not treat suicidal clients online. However as of 2015, suicide was the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. overall, and telehealth provides a key opportunity to increase access to qualified service providers to individuals in their natural environments as a prevention measure. In this live webinar we will review perceived risks associated with using telehealth including assessment, a lack of control over patient, and difficulties triaging patients if a higher level care is needed. In smaller breakout sessions we will also explore the effectiveness and role of safety contracts in conjunction with compassionate and open communication as providers gain new insight into virtual safety planning.

workshop focuses on strategies for identifying and addressing common, yet complex ethical issues concerning confidentiality that social workers face in their practice. To provide services, it is often necessary to share and obtain information from community partners serving individuals, and yet confidentiality practices are confusing and complicated.

600 Using Emotional Granularity to Solve Workplace Challenges:

Did you know that if we don’t have a word for an emotion, we can't truly experience that emotion? Emotional granularity is an aspect of emotional intelligence that refers to the ability to highly specify the emotion you are feeling. Are you angry, or are you feeling betrayed, indignant, or outraged? Are you happy, or are you feeling accepted, powerful, or proud? In this workshop, we will learn the about the latest research on how emotions are made, including the difference between affect and emotion and how you can use emotions to find the best solution to your workplace challenges. Applicable to both our professional and personal lives, emotional granularity is a skill that will enhance your emotional intelligence and harness the power of your emotions to affect positive change in your workplace.

the topic of negotiation as a fundamental tool to achieve one’s goals within a multi-cultural 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 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. Thursday, September 24, 2020, 1:15 p.m. - 4:30

✺2002 Advancing Skills in Individual and Group Supervision in the Aging Field: Supervision is a key component to becoming a

successful independent practitioner. However, there are important aspects of supervision, both group and individual, that are necessary to make sure that your supervisee is prepared to work with the senior population.

It is important to dig deep into the challenges this population presents and the rewards you receive in the most creative manner. This will allow supervision to be most effective. Each participant will learn what is crucial to incorporate during supervision when working with a senior client.

Clinical supervision is a commitment that requires a significant amount of time for the LCSW-C and can sometimes be viewed as cumbersome. The committed supervisor agrees to, but is not limited to providing guidance, support, clinical case oversight, ethical role modeling, and case review to clinical staff. When a LCSW-C agrees to supervise, they are in essence placing their credibility and Maryland licensure on the line for the clinical work of those they supervise in the work place. It is imperative that supervisors know their role and the commitment. Friday, October 30, 2020;
