      CEUs: Category 1 | 3.0 

      Your work may be a calling, a career, or a job, but it is always a journey. Where are you in yours? How have you changed over the years of practice in your approach, your values, your style? What do you envision for your professional future? In this 3-hour, highly interactive workshop, you will have an opportunity to step back and take stock of the state of your clinical practice, workplace, career, and most of all you. Based on my newly-released book, The Therapist’s Journey, we’ll explore through guided imagery exercises, breakout discussions, readings, and written exercises where you are at that point in your life and look back and ahead to what might become.

      Workshop Objectives:

      At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

      1. Define the source of your decision to be a social worker.
      2. Discuss regrets, goals, visions of the future.
      3. Describe what you need most to move forward in your career.
      4. Evaluate how your clinical style has changed over time.

              One of Carl Jung’s great gifts to depth psychology was his recognition that mind and body are one and that our symptoms, psychological and physical, can be viewed as manifestations of some part of us that “wants to be known.” Jung came to this conclusion after years of working with his own inner world, undertaking the task of self-examination through a descent into his dreams, fantasies, and images. He came to see that even terrifying figures in dreams could be messengers and beneficial guides to psychological growth.

                        Presenter: Frederic G. Reamer, Ph.D.

                        Category 1 CEUs: 6.0 (ETHICS CREDIT)

                        Many say that our profession is not for the weak of heart. During these challenging times, many practitioners complain of their own “heart break”—the emotional distress and psychic injury from the difficult, complex cases we witness and work with every week. Despite our attempt at basic self care, we are experiencing an increase of trauma diagnoses in our clients. We may be contending with a wave of symptoms and emotions in ourselves including secondary stress disorder; sleep dysfunction; physical illness; a sense of demoralization in the form of disheartenment, dejection, or hopelessness; loss of our social work values, burnout, and even despondency. These adverse effects are so common yet debilitating for those in the healing professions right now, that some practitioners will even leave the profession they love. Our presenter Frederic G. Reamer, the social work profession's foremost ethics expert, provides guidance to social workers and related professionals who grapple with these unwanted and unnerving situations and their aftermath. He inspires social workers to advocate for much-needed personal, social and organizational or policy changes to prevent harm. Drawing on decades of firsthand experience, Dr. Reamer helps us to understand the causes of moral distress and how to deal with the symptoms that can manifest; strategies for prevention, self-care, and resilience; and our legal and ethical obligations, including what it means to be a whistleblower. Above all, he shows us how to develop the moral courage that our role requires. Through extensive and relatable case studies, Dr. Reamer illustrates the myriad ethical dilemmas that most social workers will face in their careers and provides practical exercises and actionable solutions. This informative, enlightening, and inspiring workshop is based on his recent book: MORAL DISTRESS AND INJURY IN HUMAN SERVICES: CASES, CAUSES, AND STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTION (2020) and offers us the guidance and fortitude to make the right decisions in hard cases, and the resilience to strengthen ourselves and our profession.

                        Workshop Objectives:

                        3. Identify ethical issues that pose malpractice and liability risks
                        4. Design strategies to protect clients and prevent litigation and licensing board complaints

                        Teaching your client how to heal their inner child can be a powerful and transformative journey that can help them heal past wounds and traumas, increase self-awareness and self-love, and live a more fulfilling life.
