Continuing Education Programs

We continue our exploration of sexuality and gender throughout the life cycle with a focus on the particular needs of youth growing into young adults. We'll review aspects of identity formation such as culture, race, class and religion, plus discuss how clinicians can more confidently converse with young adults and collaborate with HCP colleagues to ensure more comprehensive mental health care for their transitional age patients.

Sex, Sexuality, and Gender: The Transition to Adulthood

In recent years there has been increasing attention paid to issues of sexuality and gender in the treatment of patients across the age and developmental spectrum. The period of life when adolescents transition to adulthood is an especially complex time. Young adults are navigating their individual internal growth alongside other developmental changes, relational issues and psychosocial stressors. Critically, the onset of major mental health disorders happens most often in this age group, further complicating their healthcare needs. Finally, there are well-documented issues with the continuity of care as youth transition out of pediatric practices and into adult primary care.

Alongside awareness of these general systemic gaps, clinicians need to be especially attuned to how each individual patient's sensuality, sexuality, sexual and gender identity intersect with their overall mental health during this key transitional stage. However, many practicing clinicians were not taught these relevant concepts or developed skills during their training curricula; many have not received even basic training in this area, leading to inadequate provision of care that addresses the whole patient.

This series is designed to fill training gaps for all mental health disciplines, and for those who specifically treat young adults. Join us for valuable and practical insights, lively discussions, and plenty of time each week devoted to answering audience questions.

This course will focus on doing effective relational work in the midst of specific challenges in couple therapy including working with trauma, interpersonal violence and reluctance to change, as well as working with challenges the therapist brings from their own history.

Treating Couples: Surmounting Challenges

Couples therapy presents complexity unlike any other form of therapy, and today's couples therapists need to address increasingly difficult situations. Effective couples therapy requires clinicians to understand and address many relational challenges in an intimate context that can sometimes invite defensiveness and repetition of problematic patterns. In addition, the persistent stress of the pandemic and its effect on our socio-political-cultural contexts has been a strain on couples and therapists alike.

This course will focus on doing effective relational work in the midst of specific challenges in individual therapy including working with trauma, interpersonal violence and reluctance to change, as well as working with challenges the therapist brings from their own history. These topics will be considered with regard to diverse populations and working efficiently despite challenges. We will also enhance participants' learning about the therapeutic position of a couples therapist, including ways to efficiently understand and help people change patterns using concepts from the Single Session Delivery Model, Narrative, Solution Focused and Collaborative Language approaches, the Collaborative Change Model, and enhancing our understanding of the Person of the Therapist as a tool to work effectively across differences.

Our new format this year of a 5-week online series will devote 90 minutes to each topic in order to delve deeper and allow ample time for audience interaction and questions. Clinicians will gain key strategies to help advance their treatment skills and improve their effectiveness.

• Primary Care Physicians

• Outline three strategies to avoid reflexively siding with an individual client’s view of the relationship.
• List three concepts from the Single Session Therapy Approach that will enrich their current clinical work with couples.
• Describe two interventions related using one’s own personal life to strengthen and deepen one’s clinical skills with couples.

In recent years, health systems and care providers across medical specialties have become increasingly aware of the unmet mental health needs of patients. We are pleased to introduce this new course that focuses on helping clinicians who treat chronic diseases to better address the mental health of their patients. Interactive workshops in small groups will enhance skills in specific behavioral techniques. Join us as we return to the in-person format!

Caring for Your Whole Patient: Addressing Mental Health in the Treatment of Chronic Conditions

In recent years, health systems and care providers across medical specialties have become increasingly aware of the unmet mental health needs of patients. Further, there is growing appreciation for the dynamic interplay between patients’ medical and mental health outcomes.

Due to frequent contact with patients, primary care providers and specialists who treat chronic medical conditions are well-positioned to assess and address the mental health of their patients. However, barriers—such as uncertainty about how to ask about non-medical concerns, interventions available to patients who screen positive, and stigma against mental illness—can interfere with the provision of appropriate care and exacerbate disparities in health outcomes.

This conference will bring together clinicians who treat individuals with chronic medical conditions and empower them to treat the whole patient. Topics include overcoming one’s own existing stigma, screening patients for mental health concerns, deepening one’s understanding of the behavioral health ecosystem, and identifying supplementary resources in the community. Most importantly, the agenda integrates a series of interactive skill-building workshops that will allow participants to practice several behavioral techniques for use in clinical encounters:

• Motivational interviewing
• Cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral activation
• Problem-solving therapy

Participants will leave better equipped to address the mental health of their patients and navigate the system in more complex cases. We hope you will join us!

Who Should Attend

• Primary Care Physicians
• Specialty Physicians
• Nurses
• Nurse Practitioners
• Physician Assistants
• Psychologists

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Summarize how stigma around mental health occurs at the systemic and individual levels in the healthcare ecosystem
• Develop skills to screen for and identify mental health concerns and symptoms in patients with chronic medical illness
• Improve their confidence and skills to utilize specific behavioral tools, in order to address patients' mental health needs during routine clinical encounters
• Identify and refer patients to mental health resources available outside of the medical care setting
