Course Description:

Sexuality can be a difficult topic to broach and discuss due to personal biases influenced by cultural, spiritual, and personal experiences for both the patient and health-care provider. Sexuality is an important part of any individual’s identify, and often a large concern for patients with SCI. It is important to openly discuss sexuality and reproductive health in the academic arena so that we as healthcare providers can provide open, accurate, and nonjudgmental assessment, education, and treatment options to our patients.

One of the most challenging issues that health care clinicians face is related to health care decision making. Should a treatment be used or not? Should a life be prolonged or not? Who should decide? How should such decisions be made? This webinar examines the process of health care decision making from an ethical perspective by reviewing bioethical principles and applying them to the three primary circumstances in which health care decisions are made.

The Center for Relationship and Sexual Health (CRSH) is pleased to announce a new series of casual panel discussion workshops titled “What’s It Like to Be in My Shoes?”. These workshops have been designed to encourage learning directly from a member (or members) of the minority population. With cultural competency and empathy as the basis, these workshops will offer brief educational presentation, while providing the opportunity to gain first-person knowledge, through facilitated discussion and direct questions and answers, facilitated by Mark McMillan, a Behavioral Health and Addiction Therapist from the Center. Each 3-hour workshop will start with a 1-hour educational presentation, followed by a casual panel discussion.  Join us at our workshop “Being Lesbian/Bisexual (female),” where Mark McMillan will facilitate an educational segment, leading to a panel discussion with members of the Metro Detroit LGBTQ+ community on treating females who identify lesbian/gay or bisexual and for those struggling with romantic and emotional attraction issues. The educational proportion will also cover broad provider and other treatment considerations for bisexual invisibility and clients struggling with be-attractional issues. This workshop will offer the opportunity to hear first-hand what it’s like being treated as a lesbian, gay or bisexual female in a clinical setting, and an opportunity to bring your own questions from your current case load.

Course Description:

The goal with our program for this event is to ensure that there is time for attendees to not only discuss the work around trauma that is being done in their sectors, but also to have time to create action plans with people who may have common problems and solutions. Together we created a program that would allow for attendees to do some learning with Dr. Laura Porter, and hear about her expertise and knowledge around the subject before they break out into their chosen sector: Education, Health, Government, Community Work, or Human Resources. Each breakout session is scheduled to be facilitated by a leader in that sector. The first session will focus on laying the groundwork and sharing out information to create a framework for the next session. After lunch, attendees will head to the second breakout session where the facilitators will help them to create action plans around how they want to see their sectors become more trauma-informed. After this, everyone will head back to the main room for a general assembly and a closing session, a Call to Action, led by Dr. Porter.

After briefly reviewing the rationale for social worker self-care (burnout, secondary trauma, compassion fatigue), the facilitator moves beyond this common knowledge to an exploration of self-care through the lens of the Wounded Healer. Because the study of burnout has often been said to have “burned out,” the facilitator focuses on self-care through the eyes of the Wounded Healer and examines how the experience of woundedness supports resiliency and post-traumatic growth.

Course Description:

Compassion fatigue differs from burnout in that burnout is caused by stress, while compassion fatigue is caused by caring. Other names for compassion fatigue include: vicarious traumatization; secondary trauma; and secondary PTSD. Compassion fatigue is the emotional residue that one carries as a result of working with clients exposed to trauma. Signs of compassion fatigue include a loss of energy, grief, anger, frustration, tardiness, depression, feelings of hopelessness, irritability, sleep problems, flashbacks, erosion of idealism, spiritual distress, and a shift in one’s world view. People vulnerable to compassion fatigue include mental health workers, addictions professionals, individuals with heavy trauma caseloads, counselors who deal with death and dying, individuals who work with traumatized children and sexual abuse survivors, medical professionals, fire fighters, and the clergy. Participants will leave this interactive, skill-building session with tools that will enable them to prevent and overcome compassion fatigue.

Course Description:

The goal of the “Gut-Brain Health” seminar is to help Social Workers digest the complex scientific research in this field into a concise, user-friendly overview that will help them not only improve

their own gut-brain health, but also to be feel more confident when interacting with their patients/clients. After completing this course, Social Workers will be able to recognize the “red flags” of

pseudoscience, and become a “healthy skeptic”—one who carefully and critically evaluates each piece of advice, taking into account not only its source, but also the strength of the science behind it. Being either too gullible or cynical–believing everything or nothing we hear or read—can negatively affect our health. Henry David Thoreau once said: “To know that we know what we know, and that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.” The aim of this course is to help Social Workers understand what is known (i.e., the established facts in the field of gut-brain health), to embrace the reality that there’s still much we don’t know (i.e., the gray areas), and to be able to recognize the fads and fallacies that are so widely disseminated in the lay press. In the end, this seminar will help Social Workers increase their personal wellness, as well as to become stronger role models, advocates and educators for their communities and work environments and, ultimately, for their patients/clients.

Social workers inevitably encounter substance use problems, whatever their area of practice. Traditional approaches to treating substance use disorders have tended to emphasize acute care models with time-limited doses of services delivered within treatment institutions. This course will focus on real-world models for implementing long term addiction recovery support. Some of these approaches emphasize treatment professionals, while others emphasize natural and community supports..

Disconnected systems enable predators to exploit vulnerable people. Human Trafficking thrives on confusion. In the place of actionable data and mobilized resources, we have misaligned systems telling an inaccurate story. For victims and the professionals who support them, the healing process can feel overwhelming. Compounding the trauma, resources & treatment often lay behind systemic barriers. However, the tools to solve this problem already exist.

Course Description:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Pregnancy and Postpartum is a 24-week group intervention for at-risk mothers created Maria Muzik MD, Katie Bresky, LMSW and Natalie Burns, LMSW and based on the works of Marsha Linehan, PhD.  

• While DBT was originally developed for chronic suicidality and BPD, it is now adapted to treat multiple problem areas/diagnostic criteria (Substance Abuse, Eating Disorders, etc). It is a treatment approach that is well suited to honor biological, environmental, mood and interpersonal changes present in perinatal period/perinatal anxiety and depression.

• The treatment incorporates several evidence-based therapies/intervention strategies including DBT, Interpersonal psychotherapy and Infant Parent Psychotherapy, behavioral change and acceptance strategies as well as validation.  This group model is a valuable tool in the perinatal period, allowing a place for normalization of symptoms, finding common ground among women and increasing peer support.

•  This treatment is accessible, supportive, and sensitive to the unique needs of women during the perinatal period, teaching concrete therapeutic skills that target frequent areas of difficulty in the perinatal period. These include biological changes impacting mood regulation and frustration tolerance, changes in interpersonal relationships and support networks, as well as the challenge of attending to multiple needs of individual and family members. With a focus on emotion regulation and stress coping skills that promote mothers’ mental health, peer support, parenting competence, and parent-child relationships, the Perinatal DBT group ultimately seeks to prevent recurrence of mental health episodes in mothers and the inter-generational transmission of risk and trauma to their children.

• The child team component provides a therapeutic play based group setting for infants toddlers and preschoolers where children engage in group socialization and therapeutic skill development.  The focus of the intervention is often centered on the development of the child’s ability to better communicate their emotions, cope with big feelings, and advance their social skills through supported interactions with peerrs/caregivers. The mission of the child team is to provide a secure space for exploration, participation, and skill development while in close proximity to their mothers. 

With the training we will provide participants the opportunity to explore ways to successfully build the curriculum into their practice, in both group and individual settings.  The training will focus on a basic overview of the program curriculum, psychoeducation, theory and in vivo practice.  It serves as a basic overview to DBT for Pregnancy and Postpartum and will be followed with an opportunity for more intensive training in coming months.

Course Description:

From social media and the other news reports, our own organization, Social Workers are bombarded with messages about “burnout” and “self-care”, but do we really understand and practice these concepts? Especially if you are a mental health professional who works with clients experiencing severe trauma or a health care provider who experiences vicious trauma, you may feel that you are strong, capable and able to take on whatever your work throws at you! However, if not appropriately processed, stress, anxiety, and “burnout” can begin to overwhelm us and prevent us from being our authentic selves. Whether you have yet to experience symptoms or you are currently navigating some real issues, this workshop can help. You will learn how to recognize the unhealthy mental patterns and lifestyle habits that contribute to emotional numbness and exhaustion. You will also gain some new insights into using helpful coping skills that can work to prevent burnout or bring you back from the brink of anger, frustration and feelings of hopelessness. Come share your stories and learn about strategies for bringing a sense of wholeness and healing back with you to your practice; you no longer need to suffer alone.

The Center for Relationship and Sexual Health (CRSH) is pleased to announce a new series of casual panel discussion workshops titled “What’s It Like to Be in My Shoes?”. These workshops have been designed to encourage learning directly from a member (or members) of the minority population. With cultural competency and empathy as the basis, these workshops will offer brief educational presentation, while providing the opportunity to gain first-person knowledge, through facilitated discussion and direct questions and answers, facilitated by Mark McMillan, a Behavioral Health and Addiction Therapist from the Center. Each 3-hour workshop will start with a 1-hour educational presentation, followed by a casual panel discussion.  Join us at our workshop “Being Gay/Queer (male),” where Mark McMillan will facilitate an educational segment, leading to a panel discussion with members of the Metro Detroit gay/queer male community on treating males who identify gay or queer and for those struggling with romantic and emotional attraction issues. The educational proportion will also cover broad provider and other treatment considerations for gay or queer identified clients. This workshop will offer the opportunity to hear first-hand what it’s like being treated as a gay or queer male in a clinical setting, and an opportunity to bring your own questions from your current case load.
