Kate Callahan shares her extraordinary experience of transformation after sustaining a life-altering brain injury on a ski slope. Kate will share this journey that includes her family and friends, with her guitar in hand, to find her way to start over. Kate will walk through her journey of finding her voice in helping others through designing a 20-week vocal empowerment program for incarcerated women. She will describe her own experience utilizing music and song-writing as a therapy for her own journey as well as an example for other survivors. Recognized as an award-winning songwriter and named Connecticut’s State Troubadour from 2016-2018, she was also awarded the 2019 Thought Leader Award by the CT Brain Injury Alliance, an award given to a survivor of TBI who is adding to the public conversation on brain injury through advocacy and service.

Addressing Inequity in Serious Illness Care:
Cultural Competence & the Social Work Code of Ethics
November 12, 2021
via Zoom
A Lunchtime Training from 12 PM to 1:30
with Karen Bullock, PhD, LCSW, APHSW-C, FGSA
|
|
NASW/CT is honored to have Dr. Karen Bullock join us on November 12 to offer this essential, insightful presentation. You may remember Dr. Bullock from her time spent in Connecticut as a tenured faculty member at the UCONN School of Social Work and as Vice President and then President of the NASW Chapter Board. Her appointments during her time in Connecticut included those at the University of Connecticut Center on Aging, Hartford Hospital, and the Institute of Living Inpatient and Outpatient Geriatric Services. Presently the Head of the School of Social Work at North Carolina State University, Dr. Bullock is a leading force in advancing social work practice, education, and training in gerontology, mental health, and care at end of life. She is in demand as a speaker both nationally and internationally and we are pleased to welcome her back to our “table” this November. Join us on the 12th during the lunch hour to say hello and participate in this valuable discussion on addressing inequalities in serious illness care.
Racial inequities have become central in the national conversation about serious illness care during Covid-19. Moreover, the constant exposure to the indelible reality of health disparities across racial groups amplifies the need for cultural competence in social work practice with seriously ill patients and clients. Fortunately, during the 2020 NASW Delegate Assembly, cultural competence was deemed to be a critically important Social Work standard of practice and thus, returned to our Code of Ethics. This presentation will focus on the importance of applying the NASW Code of Ethics to address racial inequities in serious illness care with individuals, families and communities that have been historically marginalized and excluded from equitable access to systems of care. Discussion will identify health inequities in systems of care, ways in which racism affects healthcare outcomes, and offer frameworks for advancing anti-racist practices.

Keeping Social Workers Safe:
Guidelines for Ethically Sound Documentation
November 19, 2021
via Zoom
9:30 to 11:00
|
|
Social workers are frequently on the front lines of quick decision making. Given this role, they may need protection from licensing complaints about their treatment and advocacy decisions for clients. Accurate documentation in the clinical record, including notes made during treatment, can protect social workers from accusations
of violating ethical standards for social work practice. This presentation will highlight the direct relationship between clinical documentation and the NASW Code of Ethics. Discussion will include review of ethical medical record and confidentiality standards. Attendees will gain an understanding of how to uphold social work values and apply them to practice as training aims to standardize clinical documentation and decrease ambiguity and risk.
Members of the NASW/CT Ethics Committee will lead the discussion including Yvette Tyndale, LCSW, ACSW, Chair, and Amber Borges, LCSW, ACHP-SW, Catherine Hogan, LCSW, Suzanne Rosenberg, LCSW, and Staff member Steve Wanczyk-Karp, LMSW.

WCSPP ANNUAL CONFERENCE Via Zoom
4 CE CREDITS APPROVED BY NASW/CT
The Efficacy of
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy:
A Lecture and Clinical Workshop
Saturday, November 20, 2021 * 12:30 pm - 4:45 pm
|
|
Dr. Jonathan Shedler will discuss scientific evidence (based on his internationally acclaimed research) on the benefits of psychodynamic therapy and how it compares to other evidence-based treatments like CBT and antidepressant medication. He will describe how the active ingredients of all effective psychotherapies draw on (often unacknowledged) psychodynamic principles such as identifying problematic relationship patterns and addressing these patterns in the "here and now" of the therapeutic relationship.
The second half of the conference will have a practical, hands-on clinical focus. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of contemporary psychodynamic therapy through clinical case presentations by two therapists with "live" clinical supervision and role play demonstrating clinical interventions.

Maastricht Approach Project
Training for working with Voice Hearing and Paranoia
Zoom Training - Nov 22, 24, 29, Dec 2, 7, 8
*See links below for time schedule*
The Maastricht Approach is an alternative model developed by Sandra Esher and Marius Romme in partnership with Voice Hearers in the United Kingdom. The approach “… was based on the premise that hearing voices is a normal human experience that has a personal meaning in relation with life history, which they seek to understand”.
The program content relates directly to the practice of social work as a therapeutic approach to supporting people who hear voices. This training will enhance the capacity of a person trained in social work to understand and work with a person reporting this experience.
