Dear Colleagues, Since its conception, social work has been about serving the needs of people. Overtime, we’ve learned that the best way to take care of others is by taking care of ourselves.

This does not only involve physical and emotional selfcare, but it also includes gaining and sustaining intellectual capability.

Continuing Education is not just a means to maintain licensure; if used properly, it can be the anchor needed to gain expertise, professional support and direction. We work hard to offer high quality workshops with a special emphasis on linking theory to practice.

Here are highlights of spring 2016 offerings:

Special Events Homecoming Celebrating National Social Work Month and Children’s Mental Health Month Lecture Title: Charting the Course for the Future of Children’s Mental Health: Challenges and Opportunities Keynote Speaker: Gary Blau, PhD, Chief, Child, Adolescent and Family Branch at Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Date/Location: Friday, March 4, 2016 at the School of Social Work Time: 9 a.m.–12 p.m. (luncheon following) Cost: $30, CEUs: 3 Daniel Thursz Lecture Date/Location: Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at the School of Social Work Time: 5 p.m.–6:30 p.m. (reception following) Cost: Lecture: Free, $20, CEUs: 1.5 Lecturer: Heather McGee, President of Demos Are You Effective? How to Know That What You’re Doing is Working: In 1990, 80% of psychotherapy in the United States was provided by clinical social workers but currently the proportion is 40%. So what happened? One factor is the lack of use of genuine evidence-based interventions. If evidence-based interventions are not used, how is success measured? Intuition? Self-reporting? Increasingly social work practitioners who do not use standardized measures will not meet the emerging outcome criteria for performing diagnosis and treatment. The DSM-5 diagnostic manual contains a number of child and adult scales that are recommended for use in performing a case diagnostic formulation especially in the areas of levels of distress, disorder severity, and health functioning. This practical, user friendly seminar will cover basic knowledge needed to use informal and formal structured and standardized measures to support, enhance and supplement intervention strategies. There will be a review of standardized measures for mental status, anxiety, depression, PTSD, child abuse, brief autism screening, dissociation and more. Scales for children, adolescents, and adults will be included. There will be illustrations of real case testing results. Free scales that can be used by participants in their practice will be distributed.

*NEW* Recognizing and Responding to Suicide Risk: Essential Skills for Clinicians: With 90% of suicide deaths linked to an untreated or under-treated mental health condition, it is imperative that every clinician be able to identify accurately 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 recognize and treat adequately 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’ of expertise in translating research into clinical practice in this state-of-the-art, state-of-the-science training program. It is 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. Wednesday and Thursday, June 29-30, 2016, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $325, CEUs: 12, Instructors: American Association of Suicidology

Certificate and Training Programs Certificate Program Trauma Intervention with Children and Adolescents Instructor: Carlton Munson, PhD, LCSW-C The child and adolescent trauma intervention certificate program encompasses an integrated focus on child development, neurobiology, attachment theory, and adverse life events (ALEs AKA “Trauma”). The content is based on an evidence-grounded and narrative-based model applied to assessment, diagnosis, and treatment methods targeting ALEs. The array of core concepts is linked to the neuro-narrative model of child and adolescent trauma intervention developed by Dr. Munson. The program prepares clinical social workers and other mental health professionals for work with young people and their caregivers in recovering from ALEs. Theoretical content is enhanced through case discussions and case presentations by Dr. Munson and program participants. Social workers and other mental health professionals from a variety of clinical settings encounter clients with histories of emotional abuse (referred to as “psychological abuse” in DSM-5 and referred to as “mental injury” in Maryland), physical abuse, sexual abuse, and other adverse life events (trauma). This program provides the opportunity for practitioners from a range of agencies to learn and analyze cases through a collaborative knowledge and skill building experience.

Application is online: http://www.ssw.umaryland.edu/cpe/. Applications are due March 4, 2016.

Basic Mediation Training (space is limited and lunch is included): Conflict is at the root of many areas of social work practice, and the social work perspective gives mediators the advantage of the field’s commitments to self-determination and conflict resolution.

Mediation can be used in a range of areas including, custody and divorce disputes, child welfare negotiations, the care of the elderly, school-based conflicts, discrimination complaints, nonviolent crimes or civil offenses, health care negotiations, public policy debates and even business-related conflicts. In recent years, many jurisdictions have begun to incorporate mandated mediation into their legal systems, which can help clear court dockets and allow disputing parties to develop their own resolution. In this five-day training, participants will learn the actual process of mediating through small group role-play sessions where they can challenge themselves, gain insights and leave with confidence to use complex mediation skills. There will be lectures and demonstrations on negotiation, listening, body language, and communication approaches (reflecting, reframing, summarizing) to assist with success in serving their clients. Two of the lectures will be on mediating with persons with disabilities and with seniors. The lectures will be provided by social workers/ mediators and individuals with special expertise on serving populations with special needs. The manual provides participants with an invaluable resource as part of the workshop and as a future reference guide. The trainers use a fun packed format that includes videotapes, demonstrations, simulations, discussions, and music.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK

3000 - FINANCIAL SOCIAL WORK 3000SG Introduction to Financial Stability for Adults: Working families are often unable to access traditional financial services that can help them repair or build their financial stability. This workshop will provide information and resources for providers who work on issues that impact the financial security of working families. By understanding the financial values and habits of clients, practitioners will be better able to address the root cause of financial insecurity.

Friday, April 8, 2016, 9:15 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Shady Grove, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Sara Johnson, MSW 3001 “Thinking Money: The Psychology Behind Our Best and Worst Financial Decisions:” Presented by OneMain Financial.

This documentary and panel discussion that follows will explore how the market and our brains affect our financial decision making. Most Americans struggle with overspending instead of saving their money for the future.

Studies show the majority of Americans have less than three months of savings, and one-fourth of the population has no savings at all. Experts suggest that between debt-ridden Baby Boomers and Millennials who are under-educated about financial literacy, the United States is on the brink of a retirement crisis. “Thinking Money” explores an array of challenging ideas and findings that have profound implications for our financial behavior. To continue discussing and learning generated by the documentary, the panel afterwards will be moderated by veteran business television anchor and correspondent Karen Gibbs and will feature the following guests: Robin McKinney, MSW, Director of the Maryland CASH Campaign, Dr. Eldar Shafir, he is the William Stewart Tod Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs at Princeton University, who is featured in the film, and Gerri Walsh, JD, President of FINRA Foundation and Senior Vice President of Investor Education, who is also featured in the film. Wednesday, April 27, 2016, 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m., SMC Campus Center, Film viewing: Free, $45, CEUs: 3, Moderator: Karen Gibbs 301 *NEW* Enhancing the Financial Capability of Older Adults * HALF DAY*: This half day training is designed to enhance practitioners’ ability to work with older adults concerning various aspects of their financial well-being. Through hands-on activities, practitioners’ will build their knowledge, skills, and confidence on topics such as budgeting, goal setting, and dealing with credit. The course will offer a basic understanding of consumer protections for older adults and approaches addressing elder financial abuse. Friday, May 13, 2016, 1:15 p.m.-4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $65, CEUs:3, Instructor: Sara Johnson, MSW 4000 - VISUAL LEARNING 4000 The Gentrification (k) NOT Film and Discussion: Today our clients live in communities that are constantly changing. As social workers, we understand that our clients’ community connections are vital to providing effective treatment and interventions. During this workshop, participants will explore how urban revitalization that generates gentrification can jeopardize local communities and what we might do to prevent it from happening. At the core of this workshop is a 47 minute documentary entitled “The Gentrification (k)NOT Movie,” created by the workshop instructor. The movie weaves three events in which academicians, ministers, politicians, artists, social workers and everyday people explore the meaning and consequences of gentrification, and how we might prevent it from happening in a Baltimore neighborhood in flux, Station North. Monday, March 7, 2016, 5:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m., Baltimore, Free to Public, $45, CEUs: 3, Instructor: Judith Lombardi, PhD, LCSW-C

100 - CHILDREN & ADOLESCENTS 100 *NEW* The Adolescent Brain: Is Marijuana Really a Big Deal?: Marijuana is a hot topic in every state. Being prepared for the impact on treatment of middle school and high school students is vital. In this workshop, participants will learn how the adolescent brain can be changed and damaged by marijuana. How vulnerable are adolescents? How are their brain development and the processing of marijuana different from that of adults? What interventions are needed to address an increase in adolescent use of marijuana? How will it affect our work as behavior health professionals? Join us as we examine the research on adolescent brain development, the specific impact of marijuana, the treatment processes needed to be put in place and the policy changes that will challenge the mental health team. Thursday, March 3, 2016, 9:15 a.m.– 4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Gloria Kay Vanderhorst, PhD 101SG *NEW* Goal Oriented Group Psychotherapy with Adolescents *HALF DAY*: Group therapy is a cost-effective intervention for adolescents with a range of diagnostic issues. At the same time clinicians often struggle to establish and sustain productive group experiences in their practice settings. This training will teach participants/clinicians how to develop and lead groups that adolescent clients will beg to attend, evaluate and improve group effectiveness, and get results. Friday, March 4, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–12:30 p.m., Shady Grove, $65, CEUs: 3 Instructor: Britt Rathbone, LCSW-C, CGP, BCD

✺ 102SG Terrible Two’s Revisited: Preparing Parents to Survive the Teen

Years: Professionals who work with families where teens are in crisis need concrete skills to teach parents. Adolescent rebellions and power struggles are a developmental part of parenting children on the way to independent adulthood. Professionals need information that they can quickly share with family members so that they can help take positive action in family management and not be reactive when rebellious teens push their parents’ “hot buttons.” This workshop will cover teachable skills in assertion, support, encouragement, limit-setting, and problem-solving necessary for parenting rebellious teens. Wednesday, April 27, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Shady Grove, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Michelle Willis, LCSW-C 103SG *NEW* What Works with Teens: Practical Skills for Engaging with Challenging Adolescents: Adolescents are often challenging clients. They may be mandated, distrust authority, suspicious of our motives, and hostile and unwilling to engage in the process.

Our interventions may fall terribly and leave us frustrated. Evidence-based treatments must rest upon the foundation of a solid and effective working relationship, and yet few therapists are directly taught the skills required for forging such a relationship with distrustful and hard to engage young people. Join the authors of What Works With Teens as they guide participants through the current research on engaging successfully with adolescents, and teaching practical and effective skills for applying this information and improving outcomes with teen clients. Friday, May 13, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Shady Grove, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructors: Britt Rathbone, LCSW-C, CGP, BCD and Julie Baron, LCSW-C 104 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; they 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 8

to articulate the psychological effects of detention/incarceration. This is an interactive workshop with case scenarios presented and discussed. Saturday, May 14, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Veronica Cruz, LCSW-C

✺ 105 *NEW* Trauma Through the Eyes of a Child: Guiding and Supporting Parents: The focus of this workshop is to educate professionals on how to help parents understand their traumatized children and how to respond to the various signals of trauma throughout the days and weeks that follow. Thursday, May 19, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Gloria Kay Vanderhorst, PhD

✺ 106HC Understanding Adolescent Sexuality and Addressing the Special

Needs of LGBT Youth and LGBT Youth in Care: Today, American youth are “coming out” at younger and younger ages and as a result, they are generating issues for families, schools, juvenile justice and child welfare. In addition, they present special needs that are unique to being Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and/or Transgender (LGBT). More often than not, social workers feel ill prepared to deal with these issues and special needs. By exploring human sexuality, adolescent development and the unique experience of “growing up different,” this workshop will address the special needs of LGBT youth and help social workers become more comfortable with and skilled at working with sexual minority clients. While this workshop will have a focus on working with youth in child welfare settings, it will address LGBT youth issues broadly and will be appropriate for all social workers in all settings. Thursday, May 26, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Howard County, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Wayne Pawlowski, LICSW, AASECT

✺ 107SG *NEW* Effects of Parental Substance Abuse on Children and

Extended Families: According to the Department of Health and Human Services, 15 million American adults abuse alcohol and as a consequence 40 million children live in homes where the primary caretaker is addicted to alcohol or other drugs. It is estimated that yearly 675,000 children suffer serious abuse or neglect as a result of parental abuse. This workshop will explore the collateral consequences of parental substance and how it affects children of alcoholics and other substance abusers (COA/COSA). Various issues will be discussed including but not limited to behavioral, medical/psychiatric, educational and emotional consequences. Current literature will be discussed and participants will be able to articulate the importance of understanding emerging family structures, dual exposure to domestic violence and addiction and treatment interventions. The presenter is a bi-cultural forensic social worker who specialized in criminal defense mitigation, dual diagnosis, crisis intervention, addictions, trauma, and diverse ethnic groups. This is an interactive workshop where case vignettes will be presented and discussed. Saturday, June 18, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Shady Grove, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Veronica Cruz, LCSW-C 108 *NEW* There’s No Such Thing as a Bad Kid: The Power of a Positive, Trauma-informed, Strength-based Approach in Reshaping the Lives of At-risk Children and Youth: Strength-based practice is an emerging approach to guiding at-risk children, youth, and families that is exceptionally positive and inspiring. Its focus is on strength-building rather than flaw-fixing. It begins with the belief that every young person has or can develop strengths and utilize past successes to mitigate problem behavior and enhance functioning.

This presentation will highlight many of the key principles and techniques of this transforming modality. Areas covered include: What is strength-based practice and the power of a positive attitude and culture; the effects of trauma and positive emotions on the brain; strength-based communication principles and techniques—including reframing, using solution-focused questions, positive predicting and inspirational metaphors; enhancing empathy for at-risk young people; self-esteem building and activities for at-risk children and youth; how to help cognitively inflexible young people; the importance of being family centered; why, how, and when to use incentive plans; the importance of controlling personal emotions (i.e. managing number one first); respectful limit setting; and a host Register for workshops online at www.ssw.umaryland.edu/cpe | 9

In this interactive workshop, the goal will be to understand the many levels of how trauma can impact a person and/or ourselves when we are stuck in the treatment process. A variety of strategies that can help enhance practice will be discussed. While this seminar reviews therapy, the focus of the entire day will be on the practical strategies that can be used in your practice. Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems and Sensorimotor Therapy will be discussed.

Friday, February 26, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Shady Grove, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Lesa Lee, LCSW-C 201SG *NEW* Person Centered Planning *HALF DAY*: Person Centered Planning is a process that assists people with mental health diagnosis, disabilities and their families to plan for the future. Through structured exercises that focus on the person’s strengths and preferences, a snapshot of the person and possibilities for the future are created. Wednesday, March 2, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–12:30 p.m., Shady Grove, $65, CEUs: 3, Instructor: Michael Allen, MSW 202 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 selfharm or self-mutilation, refers to individuals who intentionally and repeatedly harm themselves.

The methods most often emplored 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, co-morbidity, nonsuicidal self-injury diagnosis, and treatment modalities. This is an interactive workshop with case scenarios presented and discussed. Saturday, March 12, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Veronica Cruz, LCSW-C 203HC What the Social Worker Needs to Know about HIV and AIDS: The goal of this workshop is to equip participants with the knowledge and understanding needed to provide service to those infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Thursday, April 21, 2016, 9:15 a.m.– 4:30 p.m., Howard County, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Joan Garrity 204 *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. Friday, April 22, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Wayne Pawlowski, LICSW, AASECT 205 *NEW* Principles of Effective Couples Therapy: Relationships are essential to our lives and many of us struggle with questions concerning how to make our most important relationships more successful, honest and enduring. This full-day interactive workshop will assist 10

participants in developing new skills for working with troubled couples in need of therapeutic and emotional support and direction. The workshop will allow participants to design an evidencedbased treatment protocol for effective and successful couples counseling. Wednesday, May 25, 2016, 9:15 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Baltimore, $125, CEUs: 6, Instructor: Gregory Hunter, LCSW-C 206SG Calling the Code: Navigating Life and Death Decisions with Families in Crisis: Every day our collective health and medical landscape is being redefined and restructured by reformative broad-reaching health care legislation. There is increasing focus on provision of customized quality-based care while reducing the cost of that care. Our most expensive care lives in the Intensive Care Units of hospitals all across the country. In these insulated hyper-medical worlds, the lives and the respective quality of those lives of individuals are being decided upon every day. However, where we have collectively failed is in truly understanding our own patient populations and understanding how to communicate effectively to families in crisis about life and death and all of the decisions in between in those critical times. There are unexplored contributory dimensions that shape the course of life and quality of life for these vulnerable patients in Intensive Care Units: distorted public information on heroic measures (i.e. CPR, life support etc.), decision making, toxic cumulative stress, cognitive distortions, and customization of communication to match value systems of relevant family surrogates. The goal of this training is to offer attendees transparent information on the impact of heroic measures, communication and clinical interventions for working with families in crisis, and to open up this very needed and sometimes controversial dialogue about how patient and family lives can be permanently altered as a result of communication breakdowns with the health care team and inaccurate information connected to the risks of their health care decisions.

✺ 207 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.

302SG *NEW* Serving Unreasonable Older Adults and Their Families: Contrary to myths and stereotypes about older adults, most of them are reasonable and straightforward to work with.
