Tuesday, May 15 7:30 8:30 am Registration and Continental Breakfast 8:30 9:00 am Welcome: Richard Kline, Senior Deputy Director, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Aging and Adult Services Agency 9:00 10:00 am Keynote Presentation Dr. Debra Pinals 10:30 am 12:00 pm Concurrent Intensive Sessions: Part I 12:00 1:30 pm Lunch & Exhibitors 1:30 4:30 pm Intensive Sessions Resume: Part II 4:30 6:00 pm Reception Keynote Presentation Older Adults with Mental Health Challenges: Capacity, Safety and Opportunity Professionals working with older adults are frequently in a position to help ensure the fostering of independence and autonomy, while offering needed protection as vulnerabilities emerge and susceptibility to victimization may be heightened. Dr. Pinals will discuss actions aimed at achieving a balance in these areas and will describe work happening in the MDHHS system related to these issues. Debra A. Pinals, MD, Medical Director of Behavioral Health and Forensic Programs, Michigan Department of Health and Human Intensive 1: Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Skills for Treatment of Depression This skill-based intensive session will focus on assessment and cognitive behavioral therapy in the treatment of adults with depression. Participants will learn how to use behavioral activation, which has been shown to be one of the most effective interventions with severely depressed and suicidal patients. The presenter will review cases and engage in role-plays to demonstrate techniques. This session is designed for clinicians who have a baseline practice knowledge of CBT, and content reflects advanced material of current relevance for effective clinical practice. Laura M. Lokers, LMSW Intensive 2: The DICE Approach TM The behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) can be difficult for caregivers to manage. There are few treatment options for BPSD, and caregivers are often left to deal with these stressful behaviors on their own. The DICE Approach provides caregivers with a distinct process to give context to, and identify possible causes of BPSD. The DICE Approach assists caregivers in using evidence-based behavioral and environmental strategies to assess and manage BPSD. Helen C. Kales, MD; Mary Blazek, MD, MEHP; Lynn Etters, DNP, GNP-BC, ANP-C, and Laura M. Struble, PhD, GNP-BC Intensive 3: Trauma-informed Behavioral Health Care for Older Adults The effects of unresolved or under-resolved post-traumatic stress are increasingly recognized as contributing to the co-incidence of mental/emotional and substance use disorders which accumulate over the course of a lifetime. For older adults, additional risk factors can further complicate effective treatment. This session will address the likelihood of the occurrence of post-traumatic stress in older adults, how trauma-informed principles are important to apply in the provision of behavioral health care services, and will describe three evidence-based trauma-resolution treatment approaches. Stephen R. Wiland, LMSW, ICADC Intensive 4: Building Understanding and Positive Supports for Adults with Autism Less than 1% of adult care providers have special training related to individuals with autism. The great number of misconceptions about autism, combined with limited provider preparation, often lead to ineffective interventions despite the dedication of well-intentioned service providers. This intensive session provides an overview of spectrum and related neurological disorders and the special needs, abilities, challenges and response patterns of adults with these diagnoses. The presenter will discuss important issues relevant to aging with autism and proven strategies for providing proactive supports to improve communication and functioning, while reducing the likelihood of anxiety attacks and challenging behaviors. Lynn A. Sweeney, MA, CCC-SLP Intensive 5: An Introduction to Acceptance & Commitment Therapy ACT is a cognitive behavioral therapy that utilizes mindfulness, acceptance, and values clarification to help individuals better connect with the present moment, accept the things they cannot change, and to focus on building a valued life through purposeful action. This intensive session will combine didactics with experiential exercises, and focus on the use of ACT techniques with older adults, their families, and for personal self-care. ACT is an excellent way to address stress and compassion fatigue, allowing practitioners to remain effective in their work. Eric F. Miller, PhD Please join us at the reception to share hors d oeuvres, network with your colleagues from across the state, and sign up for the prize drawing!

Michelle DeRose, LMSW, ACSW; Connie Youngert, RN, BSN, & Kathy Johnson, LMSW A-2 Compassion Fatigue and Compassion Satisfaction: Less of One and More of the Other Helping professionals are impacted by many of the emotions their clients experience. This workshop will introduce the concepts of compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction. Participants will understand these concepts and will learn methods for addressing risk and promoting resilience in the work they do with vulnerable populations. Catherine A. Macomber PhD, LMSW A-3 An Introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Older Adults This interactive workshop is designed for clinicians as an overall introduction to CBT with specific techniques, adaptations, and case examples for the older adult population. Participants will learn the basic concepts of CBT, how this psychotherapy approach can be used to address depression and anxiety, and how it can be successfully implemented as an individual or group therapy approach for older adults. Regina Abney, LMSW A-4 Marginalized Populations - A Step Forward In Understanding Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) older adults have unique physical and mental health needs. A history of trauma related to LGBT identity makes it more difficult for these individuals to trust health and human services providers. These experiences have often been ignored by those focusing on gerontology, as well as those involved with LGBT studies. Together we will explore the challenges and needs of this population, and learn interpersonal skills necessary to create safe and affirming relationships with LGBT older adults. Judy Lewis A-5 Demystifying End of Life Conversations Talking about death often provokes discomfort, anxiety, and fear. This workshop will provide an opportunity to explore issues surrounding death, the business of death, funerals and rituals, and end-of-life conversations. We will examine these components of death, enabling you to increase your comfort level in conversations with clients, to better advocate, and to understand how the grief trajectory may be influenced by events that do or do not happen at the time of death. Susan Sefansky, LMSW, ACSW A-6 Aphasia and Stroke Related Syndromes Aphasia is one of the most common communication disorders following from stroke, traumatic brain injury and a variety of other neurogenic or degenerative disorders, including dementia. This workshop will focus on post-stroke changes affecting speech, language, and interactive behavior skills. Characteristics of aphasia and stroke-related communication disorders will be presented in a functional intervention context. This presentation is intended for a multidisciplinary audience. Lynn A. Sweeney, MA, CCC-SLP A-7 Introduction to Psychiatric Medications This session will provide an overview of psychiatric mediations, including common uses, side effects, and implications for care.

James Ypma, MPA B-4 New Behavioral Health Requirements for the Long-Term Care Setting This session will highlight the new Federal Requirements of Participation related to Behavioral Health Care & Psychotropic Drug Use, and the significant changes in the new long-term care survey process. Examples of common citations and strategies for compliance will be emphasized. Shelly Maffia, MSN, MBA, RN, LNHA, QCP B-5 Senior-To-Senior-Bullying Senior-to-senior bullying is recognized as a common issue in many settings, yet staff often feel helpless to intervene. This workshop will demonstrate the significant impact of senior-to-senior bullying, define bullying, and differentiate these behaviors from other interactions. The presenter will describe a staff training program that includes individual interventions and culture change activities which enhance the well-being of residents and senior consumers, while reducing the incidents of bullying. Sara (Socia) Gusler, LBSW B-6 Spirituality and Aging This interactive session will provide a framework for definitions, concepts, insights, and knowledge of the spiritual dimension. Participants will be invited to explore their own understanding and comfort with the spiritual. Spiritual distress will be defined. Therapeutic interventions and a variety of tools/instruments will be discussed. Linda Keilman, DNP, GNP-BC, FAANP B-7 Psychosis in Late Life Psychosis in older adults is a heterogeneous condition with diverse etiologies and presentations. Accurate diagnosis requires clinicians to utilize a bio-psychosocial framework for assessment.

She will also review treatment options, including pharmacological, behavioral, and educational interventions for individuals with psychosis and their care providers. Suzanne Keller, PhD
