SUMMARY:Ableism and Disability Justice for Social Workers
DESCRIPTION:In Person Seminar \nSmith College Campus \nNorthampton\, MA 01060 \nInstructor: Davey Shlasko\, M.Ed. and Hillary Montague-Asp\, M.Ed. \nNote: Exact classroom to be announced prior to event \nLevel: Intermediate \nCEs: 6 \nReview CE accreditation and approvals for this course on tab above. \nDisability Justice (DJ) is an intersectional framework and movement that understands ableism (the oppression of disabled people/people with disabilities) as deeply entangled with racism\, capitalism\, heteronormativity and colonization. This training uses a DJ lens to unravel internalized ideas about health\, wellness\, ability and independence and reflect on our sometimes conflicting desires for independence and interdependence\, individual achievement and community support. Participants will reflect on how internalized messages related to disability may show up in interactions with clients and will practice discussing disability with clients in DJ-informed ways. The trainers will share wisdom and experiences from disability communities that have so much to teach us all about advocacy\, mutuality\, thriving and liberation. The training concludes with opportunities to dream\, scheme and plan ways of incorporating DJ into our work\, our agencies and beyond. \nThe presentation is “introductory” in that most people haven’t been exposed to the framework before. However\, since it is such a nuanced and intersectional framework\, it is valuable even for folks with deep experience in other social justice frameworks.

SUMMARY:A Postmodern Approach to Non-Monogamy and Attachment in Therapy
DESCRIPTION:In Person Seminar \nSmith College Campus Center \n100 Elm Street\, Northampton\, MA 01060 \nInstructor: Kat Glick\, M.Ed.\, LPC\, ACS\, CIMHP\, CSE \nLevel: Intermediate \nCEs: 12 \nReview CE accreditation and approvals for this course on tab above. \nApril 12 and 13\, 2024\, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET \nThis is a multiple-day session. In order to receive CEs\, you must attend both days. \nThis 12 hour course is structured to assist the practitioner in understanding variations and nuances in non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships\, and to better enhance their therapeutic skills when working with individuals and relationships that are not traditionally monogamous. In the first third of the course\, participants will be guided to deconstruct their existing views on non-monogamy before learning about the various options for non-monogamous and polyamorous relationship structures. Participants will learn about common challenges of non-monogamy and polyamory\, and will incorporate foundational skills necessary to work effectively with consensually non-monogamous (CNM) and polyamorous individuals/relationships. \nThe middle part of the course is structured to assist the participant in building on their foundational understanding while incorporating deeper understanding of identity and intersectionality. We will dive deeper into understanding the lived experiences and challenges of CNM/polyamory and examine philosophical and values-based frameworks that influence one’s choice to pursue non-traditional relationship structure and influence how those relationships function. We will deconstruct themes such hierarchy\, power dynamics and internalized oppressions such as capitalism and consumer culture. \nThe last part of the course focuses on key therapeutic skills to assist clients with navigating challenges and pitfalls within polyamorous and CNM relationships\, all from a trauma-informed and attachment-based lens. Core themes of differentiation\, emotional safe-haven\, and secure base will be integrated in discussions of the therapeutic relationship and therapeutic skills taught. Themes of codependency and boundaries will be discussed\, and participants will have the opportunity to practice various skills with other participants. Other core skills of conflict resolution\, dealing with jealousy\, navigating changes\, sexual health and community-building will also be discussed \n

SUMMARY:Mentalization-Based Treatment
DESCRIPTION:In Person Seminar \nSmith College Campus \nNorthampton\, MA 01060 \nInstructor: Joan Lesser\, Ph.D\, LICSW \nLevel: Intermediate \nCEs: 6 \nReview CE accreditation and approvals for this course on tab above. \nThis course will present mentalization-based treatment (MBT)\, a recent psychoanalytic extension of attachment theory and research. MBT places strong emphasis on the relationship between attachment and mentalizing situated within the broader developmental gene-environment context. The multidimensional nature of mentalization will be addressed with attention to assessment of mentalizing\, automatic (implicit) versus controlled (explicit) mentalizing and cognitive versus affective mentalizing. Additionally\, the course will discuss mentalization and culture and address MBT principles used in the treatment of relational trauma. Finally\, there will be a discussion and application of therapeutic techniques\, illustrated with case examples. Course participants will be invited to share their own disguised case material\, as appropriate.
