Topics include understanding the history of racism, exploring important terminology, how to assess experiences of racism, and how to open the door to dialogues about racism. Concepts and interventions are presented in terms of the evidence base and an aspirational ethical perspective. Participants are asked to self-reflect and develop a plan for further addressing racism and its effects with clients. Skill Level: Intermediate.

Based on the content of this workshop, attendees will be able to:

  • Describe terms related to the psychological effects of racism, including implicit bias, microaggression, privilege and race-based trauma.
  •  Demonstrate ability to create safer spaces with organizations and clients for addressing racism.

LIVE TRACK 2:   T02. From Mechanism to Action: Embracing the Scientist-Practitioner Model to Integrate Psychotherapy Research, Training, and Practice, 1.5 CE

Presented by Christal Badour, Ph.D., Shannon Sauer-Zavala, PhD, Thomas G. Adams, Ph.D. 

The scientist-practitioner model promotes the equal emphasis of research skills and clinical abilities in education and practice, yet the demands of our profession make this balance difficult to achieve. We will discuss a new model adopted by the University of Kentucky Clinic for Emotional Health (CEH) to train the next generation of providers to provide evidence-based psychotherapy as part of clinical research trials aimed at improving and personalizing evidence-based psychotherapy. We will discuss trials evaluating several well-established evidence-based treatments including the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for posttraumatic stress disorder, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for obsessive-compulsive disorder Skill Level: Intermediate

Based on the content of this workshop, attendees will be able to:

  • Describe the scientist-practitioner model and demonstrate an approach toward implementation of this model
  • Demonstrate the importance of psychotherapy mechanisms and process research for advancing the personalization of care. 
  • Describe ongoing therapy trials and methods for training and providing ongoing supervision to therapists. 

10:45 AM - 12:15 PM

LIVE TRACK 1:   T04. Advanced Clinical Supervision: A Lens on Multicultural and Ethical Practice, 3 CE

 

Presented by Carol Falender, Ph.D. 

 

This workshop is designed to provide the most current knowledge and skills to enhance ethical multicultural supervision practice including cultural humility, supervision guidelines and best practices, competencies, the supervisory relationship, reflective practice, feedback, and ethical practice. Through a competency-based lens, interactive meta-theoretical strategies for practice will be enhanced through practice exercises, video review, and reflection. This workshop fulfills the KRS 319 advanced supervision requirement for KBEP approved supervisors. This workshop also fulfills the KRS 319 ethics/risk management requirement for psychology professionals. Skill Level: Advanced

 

Based on the content of this workshop, attendees will be able to:

  • Describe the use of one supervision guideline to anchor multiculturally sound supervision practice.
  • Identify three aspects of supervisor multicultural competence.
  • Describe one technique to give competency-based feedback to supervisees.
  • Identify two aspects of cultural humility in clinical supervision. 


LIVE TRACK 2:   T05. Mindful Movement in Psychotherapy: A Step Beyond Talk Therapy, 1.5 CE

Presented by Paul Salmon, Ph.D. 

 

This presentation introduces a mindfulness-based method for incorporating movement in psychotherapy. The purpose of this approach is to help motivate clients (especially those that are sedentary) to experience the health benefits of physical activity; and encourage clinical utilization of contemplative, embodied practices. Moving beyond simply recommending that clients (and clinicians!) be active, mindful movement taps into our intrinsic physicality as essential for health and well-being. Skill Level: Beginning.

 

Based on the content of this workshop, attendees will be able to:

  • Describe the connection between 'mindfulness' and 'movement'
  • Explain how simple, non-technical movement patterns can be implemented and how they may benefit mind/body integration.
  • Develop the sequence of personally meaningful movements to be practiced with moment-by-moment awareness that could also be taught selectively to clients.
  • Apply the concept of 'embodied awareness' to augment how they could work with a specific client (or client issue).

LIVE TRACK 2:   T06. Burnout and Wellbeing: Updated perspectives on assessment, conceptualization, and intervention, 1.5 CE

 
Presented by Abbie Beacham, Ph.D. 

Over the course of the past year, a sense of urgency has developed regarding how to address the widespread experience of Burnout Syndrome. Recent research has emerged in how to more accurately and effectively assess, conceptualize and intervene to assist individuals, teams and groups in addressing these phenomena. This workshop will focus specifically on how psychologists and mental health professionals can best approach this work in a way that extends beyond traditional pathology-based models toward an emphasis on fostering well-being. Skill Level: Intermediate. 

Based on the content of this workshop, attendees will be able to:

  •  Participants will be able to DEFINE components of Burnout and the PERMAH Model of Well-being as extending outside of "pathology-based" psychodiagnostic and psychotherapeutic approaches.
  •  Participants will be able to DESCRIBE current research, assessment approaches and relative shortcomings of existing measures of Burnout and Well-being as they apply to developing personcentered conceptualizations.
  • Participants will learn to APPLY normative approaches (Nomothetic) in the assessment of Burnout to derive more individualized patterns (Ideographic) of manifestation of Burnout experiences taking into account factors not captured through existing measures.
  • Participants will APPLY normative approaches (Nomothetic) in the assessment of Well-being to develop individualized (Ideographic) and tailored behavioral action plans to enhance personal Well-being.
  • Participants will be able to DESCRIBE strategies included in a Burnout/Well-being "Tool-Kit" of empirically supported behavioral approaches to brief intervention to enhance Well-being and mitigate Burnout.
  • Participants will be able demonstrate their ability to SELF-ASSESS knowledge and skills in utilizing strategies in the Burnout/Well-being "Tool-Kit" and to identify areas and plans to develop their skill development plan in these areas.
