SUMMARY:When Worrying Takes Over: Helping Kids Overcome Anxiety and Build Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Live Interactive Webinar \nInstructor: Sharon Saline\, Psy.D. \nLevel: Intermediate \nCEs: 2 \nReview CE accreditation and approvals for this course on tab above. \nThis webinar will be recorded. \nLiving in a world that’s increasingly unpredictable\, today’s children and teens are more anxious than ever before. For students who are neurodivergent thinkers—those with ADHD\, learning disabilities or twice exceptionality (2E)\, managing anxiety in conjunction with executive functioning deficits can seem especially daunting. Sharon Saline\, veteran psychologist and author of What Your ADHD Child Wishes you Knew: Working Together to Empower Kids for Success in School and Life and The ADHD Solution Card Deck discusses the grip of anxiety and what professionals (and parents) can do to reduce students’ worries. \nAfter reviewing the physiology and psychology of anxiety\, she will show participants how to help kids change their relationship to worry and avoid the pitfalls of negative thinking. Instead of reassurance and rationalization\, she will share techniques for separating the person from the anxiety\, talking to the worry itself and creating effective responses to ‘what ifs’. She also addresses how anxiety affects motivation\, productivity and confidence and how participants can assist clients in coping with and lowering stress. Saline offers tools for teaching children and teens how to realistically evaluate situations\, tolerate uncertainty and apply effective coping skills to reduce social anxiety as well. Finally\, how to transform worry and insecurity into curiosity and confidence will be explored.

SUMMARY:Substance Use and People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Live Interactive Webinar \nInstructor: Elspeth Slayter\, M.S.W.\, MA\, Ph.D \nLevel: Intermediate \nCEs: 2 \nReview CE accreditation and approvals for this course on tab above. \nIn this webinar\, attendees will explore the “dignity of risk” concept as it relates to substance use among people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). \nAlthough substance use and substance use disorders (SUD) are noted in a small percentage of people with IDD\, the consequences of having an SUD in this population may be greater than for the general population\, in part due to inadequate treatment access. A significant barrier to appropriate treatment is the lack of evidence-informed psychosocial interventions that are validated for this population. Researchers in behavioral health treatment for people with IDD have emphasized the need for specialized\, inter-professional accessible services that are based in the community. Targeted to direct practitioners\, this workshop reviews both empirical and non-empirical literature on psychosocial interventions aimed at the prevention and treatment of substance use disorder in individuals with IDD. \nIncreasingly\, social workers are faced with challenges in supporting clients with IDD who use alcohol and drugs. Given theoretical differences between disability service systems and addiction treatment systems\, it is hard to know how to approach practice with these clients. The “dignity of risk” concept is central to the well-being and human rights of people with IDD. Drawing on documented best practices for the empowerment of the disability communities along with a review of evidence-based practice information from the addiction service sector\, social workers will gain practical knowledge and skills targeted to empowering this population. This presentation introduces screening\, assessment\, prevention and treatment tools adapted for people with IDD. Case studies are used in small breakout rooms to see how the above-described concepts can work in concert with these evidence-based practices that are not often discussed in the social work literature. Participants will be able to apply their learning to short case scenarios and discuss them together in small and large groups. \nNotably\, people of color are over-represented among people with IDD\, making race a salient and visible part of the presentation re: intersectional dynamics. Disability is a social identity that is often overlooked in conversations of diversity\, though 27% of the US adult population is disabled. People with IDD often live in poverty\, making socioeconomic class an aspect of this intersectional presentation. The proposed presenter uses intersectional lenses in all her work.

Liz uses powerful examples of historical and modern-day inventors\, entertainers\, and leaders and shares simple strategies to implement your game in communication\, leadership\, organization\, and creativity. \nLiz Nead is an adventure speaker\, traveling the world and taking on challenges to find lessons of leadership\, communication\, diversity and inclusion. A diversity speaker and researcher for over a decade\, she specializes in common language and daily communication around race and cultural differences in the workplace. Liz uses a direct\, humorous\, and vivid style from the stage to create opportunities for communication around differences. Liz has also served as an executive coach and consultant for DEI challenges for companies like Paypal\, News Corp\, National Guard\, and YWCA. \nShe is a television host and author\, writing several Amazon best sellers\, most recently “The 1440 Principle.” She also won a regional Emmy for her television show\, “Life Dare.” Liz balances her passionate work with a thriving family of seven\, and husband of 20 years\, a retired army major. \nReady to learn to play your game? Reserve your tickets today to see Liz at the 2024 WLC!
