4 2018 CONFERENCE AGENDA THURS. FEBRUARY 15TH CONFERENCE REGISTRATION OPENS 12:00 pm -Conference Lear 2:00-3:45 PRE-CONFERENCE LEARNING INSTITUTE FEATURING ED JOHNSON, M.ED., MAC, LPC, CCS WHAT WOULD ADDICTION TREATMENT LOOK LIKE IF WE TREATED ADDICTION LIKE A CHRONIC DISEASE ED JOHNSON, M.ED., MAC, LPC, CCS The Carolinas & Kentucky Program Manager, Southeast Addiction Technology Transfer Center (Southeast ATTC) National Center for Primary Care, Morehouse School of Medicine Addiction is a chronic disease, but at best we treat it as an acute condition and at worst a behavioral problem. What would it look like if we applied the Public Health Model to addiction? What if we applied the chronic care model of treatment to addiction treatment? What if we used medical and non-judgmental terms to talk about substance use disorders and individuals who have them? This session will explore these issues and how Behavioral Health Professionals can facilitate this change in their work settings. 4:00 5:45 ETHICAL DILEMMAS IN THE DIGITAL AGE ED JOHNSON, M.ED., MAC, LPC, CCS The Carolinas & Kentucky Program Manager, Southeast Addiction Technology Transfer Center (Southeast ATTC) National Center for Primary Care, Morehouse School of Medicine Social Networking Sites, Text Messages, Google, and the Internet; these digital media have become ubiquitous in the everyday life of Behavioral Health Professionals and the people they serve. How to incorporate these into Professional Ethics were not covered when the majority of Behavioral Health Professionals were in Graduate School, and they open up multiple issues with respect to; concerning self-disclosure and professional boundaries. This didactic and experiential training will allow participants to gain an increased understanding of the dynamics of these various digital media and how to safely navigate them in a professional and personal setting. CONVOCATION 7:00 PM SPEAKER SPEAKER LUTHER E. SMITH, JR., Ph.D., MDIV Professor Emeritus of Church and Community Candler School of Theology Emory University 4

5 FRIDAY FEBRUARY 16TH 8:30-9:45 OPENING PLENARY SPEAKER JOHN MAGILL, DIRECTOR South Carolina Department of Mental Health 10:00 11:45 CONCURRENT WORKSHOPS A-1 CLINICAL TRACK CUTTING EDGE: UNDERSTANDING/ TREATING CLIENTS WHO SELF-HARM BARBARA MELTON, M.ED., LPC Private Practitioner It is not uncommon to work with clients, adolescents and adults, who engage in various forms of self-injurious behaviors. These behaviors include cutting, burning, choking, ingestion, and/or application of harmful chemicals or objects, punching, and more. Understanding why clients engage in these sometimes dangerous acts is of paramount importance if effective treatment is possible. This workshop will review various reasons clients self-harm as a coping mechanism, how this behavior can become addictive, and treatment options for this population. A-2 POLICY TRACK NORMALIZING MALADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR: THE NEXUS BETWEEN PARENTING, SCHOOLING AND MENTAL HEALTH CARL JONES, Ph.D. Action Council Board Member Most maladaptive behaviors are learned and reinforced in early childhood and are often sustained through adulthood. These behaviors become normalized if they are not addressed appropriately in their early stages. Since the home and the school are the primary institutions wherein children are socialized and disciplined, it is critical that these venues are assessed to determine their impact on the emotional and social development of children. Accordingly, in this workshop the presenter will explore with participants how certain parenting and schooling practices can lead to the normalization of maladaptive behaviors, and thus, poor mental health. A-3 FAMILY/ ASSESSING THE NEED FOR INTERPRETERS; ADDRESSING COMMUNITY TRACK THE COMMUNICATION NEEDS IN A CLINICAL SETTING ROGER WILLIAMS, LMSW, CT, QMHI-S Director, Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing South Carolina Department of Mental Health As the population becomes increasingly diverse, clinicians and other human service workers will increasingly be dealing with individuals who have Limited English Proficiency (LEP). Knowing how and when to request an interpreter is a complex task and Interpreting this dependent on many factors including the type of information being presented, the setting and the language fluencies of client and worker. This presentation will describe the role of the interpreter, provide guidelines about when an interpreter is needed and guidance for how to most effectively use the interpreter in a community setting. A-4 STUDENT TRACK MENTORING 101: THE ROLE OF THE MENTOR AND MENTEE THOMMI LAWSON, Ph.D., LPC, NCC, PMP, PHR Webster University This session will discuss how to successfully start and embrace the mentoring relationship. 12:00 1:45 PRESIDENT'S LUNCHEON SPEAKER THELMA DUFFEY, Ph.D. Immediate Past President American Counseling Association Professor and Chair The Department of Counseling The University of Texas at San Antonio 5

6 2:00 3:45 CONCURRENT WORKSHOPS B-1 CLINICAL TRACK UNDERSTANDING ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER ACROSS THE LIFESPAN; TREATMENT STRATEGIES, AND OPTIMIZING SUCCESS DR. SCOTT W. GOVERNO, DNP Family, Pediatric Primary Care, and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, ANCC Board Certified This workshop will explore Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; it s neurobiological underpinnings, detailed medication management strategies, and non-medical treatment. We will discuss an eclectic balance of options for addressing core symptoms. B-2 POLICY TRACK PROFESSIONAL ETHICS AND RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE CLINICAL ENVIRONMENT SALLIE CAMPBELL, LISW-CP, LMFT/S, DCSW Campbell Consultation and Therapy, LLC This workshop will discuss risks and strategies to help resolve complex ethical issues and how to apply ethical analysis through self-monitoring and self-reflection. Participants will learn to develop sound ethical judgment and the importance of proper documentation. B-3 FAMILY/ SOCIAL AND CULTURAL FOUNDATIONS IN COUNSELING: COMMUNITY TRACK AN INTERACTIVE GROUP PROCESS FOR EXPLORING BIAS DAVID A. KAHN, Ph.D., LPC, LPCS Our personal bias is not always as evident to ourselves as we would like to think. As counselors who are expected to be non-judgmental and to have multicultural awareness, it is imperative to explore how our bias may inform our treatment process. This session will help participants to explore the nature of personal bias and stereotypes. It will be an interactive process where participants will engage in group exercises and discussion about the nature of bias and stereotypes to help explore how personal bias can affect the practice of counseling. 4:00 5:30 INTERACTIVE SUMMARIES This panel discussion will provide attendees an overview of the workshops discussed throughout the day in each of the educational tracks.

FEBRUARY 17TH 8:00 9:45 CONCURRENT WORKSHOPS 6 C-1 CLINICAL TRACK THE ETHICAL DIMENSIONS OF VICARIOUS TRAUMA AND THE PLIGHT OF THE WOUNDED HEALER SUSAN C. WESTGATE, MBA, MSW, LCSW-C Many of us who are called into this field have our own stories and our own past traumas that collide with the pain points of our work. It is often our own history that propels us so powerfully into this work because we have personal insights and experiences with a broken system. Carl Jung once said, The doctor is effective only when he himself is affected. Only the wounded physician heals. There is a place for the wounded healer, but there is also a place for unpacking the ethical dimensions of the convergence of these two worlds. This training seeks to give voice to the role of the wounded healer; to illustrate the impact of vicarious trauma; to highlight the ethical components inherent within self-reflection and practice; and to provide insights and tactics for self-stewardship.

7 C-2 POLICY TRACK MEETING THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF A GLOBAL COMMUNITY THROUGH INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION CHERYL PENCE WOLF, Ph.D., NCC, LPCA, GCDF, PHR, CHT Assistant Professor Clinical Coordinator, CMHC & MCFC Outreach & Development Coordinator Department of Counseling & Student Affairs Western Kentucky University Interdisciplinary community collaborations can be the key to helping support a diverse community. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, mental health professionals can better understand the needs of the community, identify effective strategies, and help develop a future that is responsive to community-related issues. Learn about several successful grant-funded collaborations and how you can find ways to initiate partnerships in your community. C-3 FAMILY/ DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AMONG WOMEN WITH DISABILITIES COMMUNITY TRACK MOLLY FREYER, LCSW, MSW New York University s Silver School of Social Work Domestic violence against women with disabilities is a widespread problem. According to the 2014 National Crime Victimization Survey, individuals with disabilities experienced serious violent victimization at 2.5 times the rate of those without disabilities, and were more likely to experience serious violent victimization by an intimate partner. Yet women with disabilities have generally been excluded from the conversation on domestic violence, and service providers are often unprepared to meet their needs. This presentation will discuss the dynamics of domestic violence among women with disabilities, as well as explore disability as an aspect of diversity. Recommendations for best practices with survivors of domestic violence with disabilities will be provided. 10:00 11:45 CONCURRENT WORKSHOPS D-1 CLINICAL TRACK DRAPETOMANIA TO SCHIZOPHRENIA: POLITICS, RACE, AND MENTAL HEALTH KENNETH M. ROGERS, MD, MSPH, MMM Greenville Mental Health Center This presentation will explore the interface of race and politics with mental health in the United States. We use the early slave narratives to look at daily lives of the forced immigrants from Africa and the coping skills that were developed to survive in the "new world". The use of mental health terminology was used to describe many of the coping skills, but these terms have been used to negatively characterize adaptive skills that have become maladaptive over time. This presentation will challenge some of the terminologies that we frequently use to describe clients in a mental health setting, such as "non-compliant" and "not amenable to treatment". This will be a trip through history from the landing of the Amistad to Repeal and Replace. D-2 POLICY TRACK PUENTES PARA TODOS THE NEED FOR LATINO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES: EVALUATING A CURRENT COMMUNITY PROGRAM ROGER F. SUCLUPE, MSW, LCSW Lecturer/Faculty Member UNC Charlotte ANDREW REYNOLDS, MSW, Ph.D. KERI ELLIOTT REVENS Doctoral Student, UNC Charlotte Evidence shows Latinos seek mental health treatment at far lower rates than any other racial/ethnic group due to a myriad of factors. In 2015, Camino Community Center and UNCC established the Camino Communiversity to better meet the needs of the Latino community. The signature program of the Communiversity is Tu No Estas Solo, a 14 week program designed to meet the mental health needs of the Latino community in Charlotte. Tu No Estas Solo is a culturally and linguistically appropriate, goal-oriented counseling program delivered by UNCC graduate and doctoral students in counseling, health psychology, and social work under the supervision of clinical faculty. This workshop will discuss some of the findings of the program evaluation and the significance of providing culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health programs. 7

BELOUS, Ph.D. LMFT CFLE Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Mercer University School of Medicine This workshop will provide attendees with a basic and applied understanding of the world of sexually diverse expression beyond that of heterosexuality. Knowledge of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans gender, and other identities (LGBTQ+) will be presented as well as approaches to affirmative services.

D-4 STUDENT TRACK MAXIMIZING THE CONFERENCE EXPERIENCE: THE ART OF NETWORKING THOMMI LAWSON, Ph.D., LPC, NCC, PMP, PHR Webster University This workshop aims at providing students with a solid understanding of the importance of networking, how to build and grow your network and ultimately how to make use of it. 12:00 1:45 OTIS A. CORBITT LUNCHEON SPEAKER CELIA WILLIAMSON, MSW, Ph.D. University of Toledo Professor of Social Work and Director of the Human Trafficking and Social Justice Institute 2:00 3:45 CONCURRENT WORKSHOPS E-1 CLINICAL TRACK SYSTEMIC SCIENCE: INVOLVING THE FAMILY IN MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT KENNETH W. PHELPS, Ph.D., LMFT Associate Professor of Clinical Neuropsychiatry Adjunct Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic Director, University of South Carolina Individuals with mental illness do not exist in a vacuum, but are involved in reciprocal interactions with family and community. The theoretical concept of systems theory will be overviewed and applied to an array of psychiatric disorders (depression, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, etc.). Evidence for the assessment and intervention of relational strengths or struggles will be addressed. E-2 POLICY TRACK SUBSTANCE USE AMONG FEMALE SOLDIER/VETERAN POPULATIONS LASHANDA GIBSON-PALMER, MSW Women account for 1.4 million (14.2 %) of all enlisted members of the US armed forces. Many return from deployment suffering from physical and mental health problems and disabilities. Often their attempts to self- medicate with alcohol, prescription and illicit substances cause greater problems. The purpose of this workshop is to identify and discuss options for supporting women who experience substance use challenges. During this session, participants will learn about issues and experiences specific to female soldiers/veterans that influence their use of alcohol, prescription and illicit substances. 8 E-3 FAMILY/ SUBTLE PRESENTATIONS OF BIPOLAR DISORDER: COMMUNITY TRACK WHAT A CLIENT'S LIFE STORY CAN REVEAL GINA N. DUNCAN, M.D. Eastover Psychological and Psychiatric Group, PA, Charlotte, NC This workshop will discuss differential diagnoses, clinical examples and treatment approaches for milder forms of bipolar disorder. Will include a focus on how clinicians can improve diagnostic accuracy through skillful interviewing, particularly by engaging the client in the diagnostic process by framing their symptoms in the context of their broader life story, the use of screening questionnaires and engagement of family members to obtain a more thorough history.

FEBRUARY 18TH 9:00 10:45 CONCURRENT WORKSHOPS F-1 CLINICAL TRACK THE ART OF ACTIVE LISTENING: THE KEY TO COMPETENT CLINICAL INTERACTIONS STEPHEN MCLEOD BRYANT, Provisional Clinical Professor Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami Health System Many clinicians miss opportunities to help patients due to misunderstanding patient needs and miscommunicating steps to solve their problems. This is especially true in the cross-cultural clinical situation. Much of this misunderstanding and miscommunication occurs due to inactive or non-listening to the patient. This workshop will provide an understanding of what active listening means and how it is employed in clinical service; a set of exercises which can improve active listening skills; and examples of clinical situations in which active listening can be helpful in alleviating therapeutic impasses. F-2 FAMILY/ WOMEN IN THE WORLD OF WORK: INTERSECTION OF COMMUNITY TRACK CULTURE, DISABILITY, AND GENDER DR.
