Followed by an amazingly delicious and healthy lunch
Approved for 3.5 CECs
Given the interest in complimentary alternative methods of treatment expressed by members of NASW/CT, we are following up on the workshop offered at our Spring Conference with this informative seminar presented by Jessica Serra, LCSW. The workshop will focus on two treatment paradigms within the realm designated as the “sacred sciences”—Ayurvedic Medicine and Botanical/ Earth Medicine.
Workshop participants will be guided through the Ayurvedic philosophy, a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing that has its origins in Northern India. How this eastern psychological and "whole self-health" framework conceptualizes anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic stress will be explored. Attendees will learn about balancing nutrition/digestion and sample herbal and botanical supports for mental wellness and the role they play as healers while learning fundamental self-care rituals that can be adapted to clinical work with clients. Comfortable clothing is suggested as this experiential workshop may include some simple stretching and a short walk.

“VOICES, VISIONS, AND UNUSUAL BELIEFS
AN ALTERNATIVE VIEW OF EXTREME STATES”
Offered through the West Hartford Continuing Education Program
TUESDAY NIGHTS October 16, 2018- November 20, 2018
6:30PM-8:30PM
AT TOWN HALL ROOM 422a
WEST HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT
The medical model (approach) to extreme states; so called “psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder” and other psychiatric labels, have for much too long dominated the mental health landscape. Now we have alternative views and ways to heal. This course is for anyone interested in finding meanings and understanding of distressing experiences. This course is relevant for all mental health professionals, for persons with lived experience of the mental health system, to their families, relatives and interested others. In each of 6 sessions we will view and discuss some videos and talk about a revolutionary report recently out for the general public (you will get a PDF). We will examine your questions and discuss how these alternatives are coming to CT.

The Art of Diagnosis
by Dr. Berton, LICSW, CADC-II
October 23, 2018, 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
Courtyard by Marriott, Norwich, CT
|
|
Although a large component of the daily work of social workers is to diagnose psychiatric illnesses, there is little education on how to do that well. There is a wealth of knowledge about each disorder, but there is a lack of training on what questions to ask a client in order to properly develop a thorough and accurate diagnosis. This training teaches how to differentially diagnose using specific questions and provides decision trees that clinicians can use in clinical sessions.
This program has been approved for 5 CECs by NASW/CT.

November 16, 2018, 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
Courtyard by Marriott, Norwich, CT
|

This is the training you need to learn how to gather the information in the clinical interview. What questions do you ask your clients that get at the information you need? What language do you use? How do you take into account a client’s culture in the questions that you ask? How do you address silence, or an unwillingness to participate in the interview? How do you refocus a client or de-escalate his or her aggression? What questions can you ask to get at specific symptoms and how do you adjust your query in session as needed? All of these questions and more will be answered in this training. Clinicians will be able to practice and hone their clinical interviewing skills through direct observation of interviewing styles.
