Bloom | SPRING 2019

Dear Colleagues, Our profession mandates that we continually stay active in the learning process. However, above that mandate, continued education helps us to remain relevant and adaptable to unexpected changes and challenges. More importantly, continuous learning assists in changing long-held beliefs and attitudes that hinder progression. By continuing to step out of our comfort zones, change becomes easy and even exciting. The more we learn, the better we become at seeing more sides of a situation, resulting in deeper understanding. These are just a few reasons why our School is committed to offering advanced, evidenced-based learning opportunities. We believe that these efforts will support you in helping the community at large. Highlights of the Semester • Faculty Fiestas that emphasizes the extraordinary work that our Faculty offers the community. •C ornerHouse Forensic Interviewing: A protocol that helps two of the most vulnerable populations: children and adolescents. • Screening Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment for Substance Abuse (SBIRT) training We rely on you to help us to continue to innovate and to improve our educational practices. The ideas for many of these workshops come from our very own participants. I invite you to contact the CPE office with suggestions for new workshops and excellent instructors. As always, we thank our alumni and friends for their unwavering support. Sincerely, Seanté A. Hatcher, LCSW-C Assistant Dean Office of Continuing Professional Education (CPE)

Financial Social Work Certificate Program Find more Information and apply online:

Application Deadline: January 11, 2019 UMSSW’s Financial Social Work Initiative (FSWI) is offering its very own Financial Social Work (FSW) Certificate Program! It will meet an identified need for greater financial capability and empowerment knowledge on the part of social workers who practice in nonprofit and other social service agencies, as well as in schools, medical settings, justice system settings, and beyond. In FSWI’s work and research, social workers and human service organizations have expressed a significant, ongoing need for FSW training and skill-building strategies to enable them to intervene appropriately and effectively with financially distressed individuals, families, and communities. Beyond providing resources, however, social workers must have sophisticated knowledge about issues in typical daily financial life, such as credit, debt, budgeting, and working toward identified financial goals. Social workers who work with clients on their complex financial struggles and how these intersect with other psychosocial stressors must be knowledgeable about and familiar with financial issues and behaviors, and feel comfortable in addressing these directly and effectively. From a macro, policy perspective as well, social workers who work within FSW must also be well versed in historical and current policy issues that influence and affect people’s paths toward greater financial stability; conversely, those policies that hinder financial stability and/or perpetuate economic injustice. The cost is $1,200, and the total number of CEUs for the FSW Certificate Program is 42.

The FSW Certificate Program will run over seven sessions that are 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.: • Fridays, February 1, 2019 • Friday, March 1, 2019 • Friday, April 5, 2019 • Friday, May 3, 2019 • Friday, June 7, 2019 SUMMER HIATUS, BUT OPPORTUNITIES FOR ONLINE DISCUSSION • Friday, August 2, 2019 • Friday, September 6, 2019

Fortunately, with the advances in HIV-related medical care, not everyone who is infected will ever receive an AIDS diagnosis. Yet many in our area are living with AIDS; a not insignificant number of those are seniors, facing the effects of HIV infection along with the expected challenges of aging. And regardless of their health status, individuals living with the virus confront many difficulties. Stigma is ongoing, fear still exists, and clients you encounter may be struggling to understand their own diagnosis, as well as how to maneuver in the health care system. There is also the need for strong efforts towards prevention: the use of the latest medicines to treat HIV for those infected, along with the use by uninfected individuals of medicines that can now completely prevent infection, could stop the epidemic in its tracks. All of us, no matter our discipline, can contribute to the work of stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS. The goal of this workshop is to equip participants with the knowledge and understanding Register for workshops online at www.ssw.umaryland.edu/cpe | 13

These issues often require that clinicians re-examine how their life experiences and values affect the therapeutic process. Practitioners are challenged by questions regarding confidentiality, cultural sensitivity, competence, boundaries, multiple relationships, and client/counselor rights. These ethical and/or legal issues are tremendously important to those who provide individual, group, or family counseling, whether as a supervisor, consultant, or a counselor doing community work. This workshop will assist participants in developing the critical skills necessary for ethical decision making and for understanding various levels of ethical practice. Use of real-life case studies and role-playing will provide the participants with opportunities to practice effective strategies to bring about positive outcomes for themselves and their clients.

The MBSWE COE was released in 1983 and has undergone six revisions, the most recent occurring in 2011. The NASW COE released in 1996 has undergone two revisions, with the most recent being implemented in 2018. Emphasis will be on the practice expectations of clinical social workers in the state of Maryland under these two ethics codes, with a special emphasis on the duty to warn based on updated case law and Maryland child abuse reporting laws. Content includes review of research conducted by Dr. Munson of the MBSWE’S ethics sanctions of licensed social workers from 2005 to 2018.

For example, how do you reconcile the ideal of social work selflessness with the very real self-interest of running a business? Which five billing mistakes commonly result in malpractice violations? When can offering a sliding scale be considered unethical? With the right information, learning to survive and thrive in a private practice aligns with applying the highest standards of ethical principles. In this workshop, participants will explore the best solutions for these common concerns. Friday, June 7, 2019, 10:00 a.m.–1:15 p.m.; Baltimore; $65; CEUs: 3; Instructor: Lynn Grodzki, LCSW-C 507SG 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 fear-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.

How social workers and mental health organizations connect with their community and consumers, and advertise and publicize their services is important. Too often, social workers are faced with two problems: (1) There are not enough services and (2) Clients are not aware of existing services or how to access them. Participants in this seminar will discuss and explore ethical considerations of community engagement and marketing of social work and mental health services to the public.

This balance requires a firm foundation of appropriate boundaries and information sharing about the process of supervision. Supervision is a complex process that entails a multitude of roles and responsibilities. Roles are the functional relationships between supervisor and those of the supervisee; responsibilities include the clinical, ethical and legal duties of the supervisor. This highly interactive workshop will assist participants in developing the important skills necessary for becoming a competent and effective supervisor. Use of real-life case studies and role-playing provide the participants with opportunities to practice strategies to bring about positive outcomes for the supervisor and the supervisee.
