WOL815(26) Compassionate Leadership Strategies

Description: In today's rapidly evolving work environments, effective leadership is not merely about achieving business objectives; it's about fostering environments where individuals feel valued, respected and supported. Compassionate leadership, psychological safety and appreciation in the workplace are not just desirable but essential for organizational success. Research consistently demonstrates that health care organizations with compassionate leaders, psychologically safe environments and cultures of appreciation experience higher levels of employee satisfaction, retention and performance. This will in turn improve patient satisfaction and outcomes. In this course, participants will explore the theoretical foundations, empirical evidence and practical implications of compassionate leadership, psychological safety and appreciation in the workplace. By engaging in interactive discussions and other interactive exercises, participants will develop the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary to become effective and compassionate leaders who create inclusive, supportive and high-performing clinical work environments. The course emphasizes the importance of empathy, active listening and vulnerability in leadership. Topics include compassionate leadership styles, building trust, conflict resolution, cultural considerations and creating psychologically safe spaces for diverse teams.

WOL850(26) Decriminalizing Behavioral Health Challenges: A Public Health Approach

Description: Individuals with behavioral health challenges are overrepresented in the criminal justice system, to the point that some refer to the "criminalization of mental illness." This didactic will explore the prevailing approaches to "decriminalizing" behavioral health issues — the sequential intercept model (SIM). It will explore how the SIM can utilize public health theory to become a "public health approach in a public safety costume." CE Credits: APA-2; CPRP-2; LSW/LCSW/LPC/LMFT-2; NBCC-2; PA Act48-2; PCB-2; IACET-.2 Objectives: Upon completion, participants will be able to: Provide an overview of the sequential intercept model. Discuss how the continuum of prevention can help more efficiently target which interventions should be employed in which intercepts. Discuss how the spectrum of prevention can be consulted to bolster the SIM and better address the relationship among social determinants of health, behavioral health challenges and criminal offending.

WOL840(26) Bridging Perspectives: Evolving Standards in the DSM and ASAM Criteria

Description: This course is designed for behavioral health professionals who seek to deepen their understanding of Western influences in clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment placement. Historically, diagnostic and placement systems such as the DSM and ASAM criteria have operated within frameworks that have often neglected or misrepresented normative behaviors and experiences. Participants will explore the historical exclusion of varied perspectives in mental health diagnoses and the implications for misdiagnosis and inappropriate levels of care. The course highlights recent developments in the DSM-5-TR and ASAM 4th Edition that aim to incorporate responsiveness into clinical decision-making. Through case studies, role-play exercises, self-reflection activities and group discussions, participants will apply tools such as the cultural formulation interview and informed interpretations of ASAM’s six dimensions. Emphasis will be placed on humility, reflective practice and ethical engagement with various populations. CE Credits: APA-3; CPRP-3; LSW/LCSW/LPC/LMFT-3; NBCC-3; PA Act48-3; PCB-3; IACET-.3 Learning Objectives: Upon completion, participants will be able to: • Describe the historical absence and subsequent consequences of limited considerations in the development of the DSM and ASAM criteria. • Analyze how beliefs, identities, social contexts and implicit attitudes influence the assessment and impact clinical symptom presentation and treatment engagement. • Apply the DSM-5 cultural formulation interview in clinical assessments to capture relevant information. • Evaluate how ASAM’s six dimensions can be interpreted through a responsive lens in treatment planning and level-of-care decisions.

WOL845(26) Fragments & Shadows: An Exploration of Dissociative Disorders

Description: Dissociation is both a complex clinical phenomenon and a powerful survival strategy. As a trauma response, it can profoundly disrupt identity, memory, perception and relational capacity. Despite its prevalence across clinical settings, dissociation remains widely misunderstood — misdiagnosed as personality pathology, psychosis or resistance to treatment — leaving many practitioners uncertain about how to identify or respond effectively. This workshop offers an exploration of dissociation as a spectrum of both adaptive and maladaptive responses to trauma. Participants will explore key dissociative disorders — including depersonalization/derealization disorder, dissociative amnesia, other specified dissociative disorder (OSDD) and dissociative identity disorder (DID) — with attention to clinical presentation and diagnostic differentiation. Integrating conceptual frameworks with evidence-based therapeutic approaches, the training provides participants with practical tools and enhanced clinical confidence to support clients whose narratives are held in fragments and shadows. CE Credits: APA-3; CPRP-3; LSW/LCSW/LPC/LMFT-3; NBCC-3; PA Act48-3; PCB-3; IACET-.3 Learning Objectives: Upon completion, participants will be able to: • Discuss dissociative disorders using current diagnostic criteria and emerging theoretical frameworks. • Differentiate dissociative symptoms from those commonly misattributed to personality disorders, psychosis or resistance to treatment. • Identify commonly used assessment tools for dissociation. • Utilize evidence-informed interventions to support clients experiencing dissociation.

WOL844(26) Caring Without Crashing: Using ACT Principles to Build Resilience

Description: The emotional toll of helping others — especially in high-stress environments — can lead to burnout and compassion fatigue, leaving even the most committed professionals feeling depleted and overwhelmed.

Through reflection exercises, brief mindfulness practices and real-world examples, this session offers a compassionate and empowering framework to help professionals reconnect with their purpose, unhook from unhelpful thoughts and care for others — without crashing themselves. CE Credits: APA-1; CPRP-1; LSW/LCSW/LPC/LMFT-1; NBCC-1; PA Act48-1; PCB-1; IACET-.1 Learning Objectives: Upon completion, participants will be able to: • Describe the key dimensions and warning signs of burnout and compassion fatigue. • Identify the six core processes of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). • Apply ACT-informed strategies to mitigate stress and enhance emotional resilience.
