Course Description:

Group therapy has many iterations, many challenges, and many rewards. Clinical work with groups can also be daunting, overwhelming, and sometimes confusing. There is also misinformation associated with group therapy, for example, the “type” of clinician or healthcare worker who would be “qualified” to engage in such important clinical work or the type of group member who may be difficult and disruptive in the group. This presentation will dispel stereotypes with evidence-based practice research and proven group theories that prove to assist with providing a safe and beneficial experience for both the group member and the group facilitator. This presentation is foundational, offering concepts and theories to start a group. This presentation will be in sections, starting with pre-planning, beginning stages of the group, the first group meeting and the working stages of the group, and descriptions of what types of informal roles that might be assumed by members. Please come with questions and hopefully, an idea for starting a group. There will be time for case vignette discussion as well.

Course Description:

We have all heard over and over about the importance of self-care. It is now even part of our Code of Ethics’ most recent revision. Pain management is a crucial aspect of self-care. Both improved self-care, and pain management, will likely enhance our ability to care for ourselves and our Clients. What we also need to do is improve our understanding and acceptance of self-care as being more than just telling ourselves we need to have a better work/life balance. We need to determine and operationalize a personal self-care/pain management plan.

Course Description:

Chronic pain can be debilitating and limit the person's ability to function and enjoy life on a daily basis. Research shows that individuals with unresolved childhood trauma, mental health issues and brain injuries have a much higher chance for the development of chronic pain after an injury. Understanding the psychological component to chronic pain can be the first step to moving past the opioid cycle and back to a normal life.
