WHERE TO BEGIN WITH SOME OF THE MOST CHALLENGING FAMILIES WE WORK WITH
October 1, 2024
9:30a – 12:30p
Patty Maxwell
$65 – (includes LSW credits)
Have you ever felt completely at a loss when starting with a new family? Working with families can be difficult and draining, especially for a challenging family. During this training we will take a step back to some of the basics. Relationship building, listening skills, boundaries, and self-advocacy for our families and for ourselves are just a few of the topics we will dive into during this presentation. Baby steps are steps and sometimes we forget to celebrate these wins when working with families in this field.
LEADERSHIP AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
October 10, 2024

John Amato

Tune into the importance of emotional intelligence and interpersonal relationships in the workplace. Connecting with colleagues and employees on a genuine level is a direct result of high emotional intelligence and leads to better working relationships. Find out how self‐awareness, social awareness, self‐management, and social skills influence the way people handle themselves and their relationships. Also, discover how these strengths play a bigger role than cognitive intelligence in determining success in life and in work, as studied by Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence and other writings on this subject.

The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body. The brain of a person with Autism is even more complicated. In this training we will look at the Autistic brain vs non-Autistic brain. We will dive into the differences in the Autistic Brain between children and adults, females and males, and growth rates of people on the Autism Spectrum.
MANAGING TIME EFFECTIVELY

John Amato
$65 – (includes LSW credits)
Discover new ways to manage yourself—and your time—in order to significantly reduce stress and feelings of being out of control. In today’s busy world, it’s easy to feel as if there are never enough hours in the day to complete tasks. Although time is not adaptable, human behavior can be changed. This session provides the tools needed to organize and simplify workloads.
EFFECTIVE TREATMENT PLANNING
November 8, 2024
9:30a – 12:30p
Jennifer Zapata
$60 – (includes LSW credits)
Treatment plans are always a topic when site visits occur from insurance providers, the Dept of Drug and alcohol programming and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. With counselors having high caseloads and often rushing to complete plans by their due date, the quality can often fall short. Remembering that the treatment plan is the blueprint for one’s recovery, and that it can be viewed by the patient, management, peers, and outside agencies, it is of utmost importance that these plans are well written and include all required data. In this 3-hour training learn to recognize how to create problem lists, identify long and short-term goals, create realistic objectives and interventions. Also, learn skills needed for collaborative documentation, and how to prevent citations from auditors both internally and outside the agency.
