    Program Description:

    This workshop will explore the inter-generational wounds of racial trauma, white body supremacy, and interlocking systems of oppression that shape our society and mental health field.  It will explore themes from Dr. Edmond's book Mindful Race Talk; to build mindfulness and somatic resources to address the polarizing topic of race and racism with more agility and fluency in order to meet clients and colleagues where they are in their racial identity development and antiracism journey.  Emphasis will be placed on cultural humility, making repairs when harm has happened, and approaching conversations about power and proximity to whiteness with compassion and embodiment from a trauma-informed perspective.

    Level of Instruction: 

    Introductory 

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Describe different types of racial trauma, racial microaggressions, and associated symptoms.
    2. List different types of rage, grief, and stress related to racial trauma.

    4. Identify three strategies to address microaggressions and make repairs.
    5. Identify different stages of antiracism identity development.
    6. Articulate somatic language and three somatic resources to widen their window of tolerance for talking about racism and other forms of oppression.

    Description of Event:

    Awareness of autism, particularly among adults who were not recognized as autistic in childhood, is growing quickly. There is significant need these days for support and guidance among individuals exploring whether they might be autistic and among therapists supporting clients who have begun this journey. But, many therapists have received little, if any, training on autism in their education process and have not been well prepared to meet this growing need.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Identify masked Autistic clients on their caseload

    2. Assess DSM diagnostic criteria for Autism as well as neurodiversity paradigm for recognizing and explaining Autism

    3. Facilitate discussion of Autistic identity with clients

    4. Build therapeutic alliance with Autistic clients

    5. Create neurodiversity affirming goals and provide neurodiversity affirming skill building when necessary

    6. Identify resources and supports available to Autistic clients seeking additional Autism specific support and/or formal diagnosis

    Presenter: Miriam Zisook, LICSW

    Miriam has been working with Autistic children, teens and adults in multiple roles since 2004. She has worked with disabled and Autistic people in schools, recreational settings, and home settings as a researcher, a coach, and an outpatient therapist. 

    Miriam’s work is grounded in a Neurodiversity affirming paradigm that centers disabled clients as experts in their lived experience and honors the value of differences between people. She works to help clients live authentically and develop the adaptations they need to thrive while resisting pressures to assimilate to neurotypical and normative culture

    Program Description:

    Ableist thoughts, behaviors, and values lead to bias, prejudice, and discrimination.  Because disability is often excluded as a dimension of diversity, disability and ableism are less understood than other minoritized groups/issues.  By understanding what ableism looks like in mental health treatment, therapists and clinicians can begin working to increase overall treatment access for disabled clients.  Additionally, with a better understanding of their own implicit and explicit biases about disability, therapists and clinicians can improve their clinical practice with disabled clients and colleagues.  

    Level of Instruction:

    Introductory

    Learning Objectives: 

    1. Describe three models of disability.

    2. Identify ableism biases, both implicit and explicit.

    3. Analyze disability as an identity.

    4. Assess forms of ableism in current psychological practices.

She specializes in working with adults with chronic health conditions and disabilities, including spinal cord injury, chronic pain, cancer, as well as other injuries or medical events.
