is an interactive tool for getting what we want from ourselves and
others. Children learn to use EQ in their own homes, as well as in
their school environment. Based on self-awareness, self-confidence and
self-control, EQ leads to achievement, success in relationships, and a
life of fulfillment and accomplishment for the individual, and has a
positive impact on the community. In this workshop, you will observe
step-by-step demonstrations of how to introduce the idea of EQ to the
children with whom you work and live, and create a dynamic
partner-ship that leads to success, harmony and personal growth for
everyone involved. This workshop will allow you to practice the
science of teaching children how to use EQ skills. 3 CEHs – NBCC 3 CEHs – American Psychological Association REENA HAJAT and professor jack kirkland March 6, 2008 What is your community doing

for individuals responsible for conducting intake assessments for
consumers seeking assistance for crisis intervention and/or mental
health treatment within the guidelines of the managed care structure.
The objective is to teach the strategies needed to provide a thorough
assessment during the first contact which identifies the presenting
problem, factors contributing to the problem, treatment goals and
objectives, strategies for intervention, and termination. Many clients
complain that the initial session consists mostly of completing
insurance forms and therefore leave feeling the counselor is more
concerned with getting paid than listening or caring to hear about and
help resolve the client’s problem. This results in lack of therapeutic
alliance, no shows, or premature termination of the counseling
experience. The activities in this workshop will assist the clinician
to balance the job of taking care of the paperwork and the client
concurrently. Specific subjects of discussion will include: telephone
intake strategies, structure for initial session, forming therapeutic
alliance, Diagnostic Statistical Manual with focus on Axis I-V
Diagnosis, meeting managed care assessment guidelines, working within
the brief therapy model format, and employee assistance program
function. music: the medium & the messages April 8, 2008 Music is a powerful medium
that our society uses to enhance moods, to relax and enjoy, to dance
to and convey messages. Americans spend millions of dollars on this
medium and yet, spend little time thinking about the impact it can
have on the audience. This workshop is designed to raise an awareness
of music trends, current music messages as well as help participants
develop action steps for positive use of music with youth audiences. April 17, 2008 This workshop will explore
theoretical and practical aspects of supervision. Roles and
responsibilities, motivational techniques, skill development, and
respecting different working styles are among the topics. Examples
that demonstrate these issues will be presented in role playing
situations. This workshop is valuable to new and experienced
supervisors. “no dice!! identifying and helping problem gamblers” April 22, 2008 Gambling – in its ancient
and modern myriad forms and enticements – can be seen as everything
from a moral dilemma to a neurologically disordered mental illness.
Much information available about the condition is criticized for its
flawed research or passionate but radical belief. In truth, gambling
is a normal human risk taking behavior that like many potentially
addictive behaviors can be quickly turned into a tumultuous disaster.
In this workshop for counselors, pastoral care workers, and health
care workers and therapists of all kind, participants will examine
what makes this behavior an unusual mental illness best treated as an
addictive behavior. Participants will discuss their own understanding
and prejudices for or against gambling, learn about problem and
pathological gambling as a treatable illness and be introduced to
problem gambling counseling, its local resources, and become versed in
identification and intervention with those who are adversely affected
by the behavior of excessive gambling. 3 CEHs – MSACCB

provide a theoretical and practical framework about conduct disorders,
post-traumatic stress, and other psychological reactions that manifest
as emotional disturbances in troubled youth. Adult care givers
recognize that children placed in facilities and group settings are
not there by conscious choice, however, we are still faced with the
direct day-to-day experience of dealing with their sadness, anger and
fear. Connecting with children who are the victims of neglect,
physical/sexual assault, abandonment, poverty, and other traumatic
life events can be incredibly difficult in a residential group
setting. However, there are methods for creating positive
relationships that aid in redirecting negative behavior, encouraging
success, and fostering social skills in both staff members and youth
in their care. This workshop will provide information and techniques
that will be beneficial in understanding the internal dynamics on both
sides, and offering win-win resolutions.
