Course Description:

One would assume that executive function is a conversation only about students in the school setting, but clinicians are being asked to support their clients of any age, including adults with ADHD qualities (and thus challenges with executive function). These skills are essential, yet for a myriad of reasons they are not always easily accessible for our clients. This presentation will help clinicians (and educators) to better understand executive function’s challenges, and to learn strategies to help their clients to succeed.

Just as the terms and concepts for each of the newer generations before us evolves and changes, so have the terms and concepts within the LGBTQI+ community. Our clients, young or “young at heart,” face more scrutiny to “identify their authentic selves,” most without the appropriate understanding and support they truly deserve from the professional encouraging them to do so. Today, Social Workers and other Healthcare Providers need a foundational understanding of SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) in addition to a foundational understanding of the harm done when using outdated, unintentional homophobic or transphobic language. This presentation will offer a safe place to learn basic terms and concepts important to this community, offer an opportunity to learn new and emerging, lesser-known terms and concepts, while offering ample opportunity for questions. This presentation will also offer case studies and opportunities to discuss your own questions and experiences from your current caseloads.

. Resiliency research reveals three primary factors in building resiliency to overcome adversity and stress. Most important is the development of relational connection that communicates that one is loved, valued, wanted and cared for. Such connections mitigate isolation and self deprecation that often lead to depression. Second, is mastery/efficacy that provides experiences of success that enhance esteem and build motivation decreasing the risk of mental health disorders. Third, is the ability to regulate affect which increases executive functioning that is essential in rewiring the brain.
