Burnout and the Social Service Worker
The choice is: do you take a wonderful weekend in Toronto (and feel
guilty about the exchange rate) or do you come to the “burn out”
seminar for a delightful pursuit of “painless” CEUs? Decisions,
decisions! Bruce Smith, with his colorful charts and stimulating
group discussions, leads this creative romp in pursuit of our
restored sanity. Please bring an example of your favorite
stress-reducing hobby or activity and your favorite vacation
get-away to share with the group. This promises to be a fun and
informative day, may not be substituted for your current selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
(Also approved by BENHA for 6 contact hours.)

Generations in the Workplace
With workers from four generations now active in the workforce, the
potential for misunderstanding, frustration and conflict puts
increasing pressure on productivity. To turn that challenge into a
competitive advantage, this program applies the M.E.E.T. approach
(Make time to discuss; Explore differences; Encourage respect; Take
personal responsibility) to the complexities of effectively working
in and managing a multi-age workforce. Employees and managers gain
insights, strategies and skills that help minimize generational
conflict and strengthen collaboration.

Bullying and Cyberbullying: Dynamics,
Intervention, and Recovery
Bullying has increasingly been highlighted in the news in recent
decades, especially in the aftermath of school or mall shootings in
which the shooter is so often a former victim of bullying. There is
also increasing publicity given to various forms of cyberbullying,
which was implicated in a 2007 suicide. We will discuss how bullying
works, socially and emotionally. We will examine the tools and
dynamics of cyberbullying and coping strategies in three areas:
preventing bullying, responding to bullying as it happens, and
treating emotional harm after it happens. Finally, we will be
sharing stories, talking of issues and cases, doing exercises in
bullying prevention and response.

When Life Changes
Many of the individuals we are privileged to work with have
experienced a life change and are in a transitional phase of their
lives. Change may be due to death, divorce, mental illness, health
concerns, family dynamics, relocation, loss of income or change in
status, to name a few. We cannot choose whether we experience loss
and change, but we can choose how we will respond. This workshop
will explore different aspects of loss, the needs and fears of those
facing illness, and elements of healthy coping to help someone move
toward positive adjustment for a purposeful and meaningful life.

Anger: Only One Letter Away From Danger
Anger is a very physical emotion. It can be a great motivator or a
very unpleasant experience with very destructive results. If we can
learn to manage our anger constructively and channel it into action,
it can be a powerful tool which may enable us to make positive
changes in our lives. Join Karen and her great sense of humor to
understand how anger develops, get insight into the many feelings
that lie beneath anger, and learn useful guidelines for effectively
expressing anger. Help yourself and learn how to help your clients.

Games and Other Play Therapies
One of the ways to connect with children, to learn about them and
help them grow in psychotherapy is to play with them. Luckily, it’s
fun and it’s what most kids do well. But play is more than fun, and
can involve so much more than dolls, clay, blocks, and art supplies.
You will discover various types and functions of play in therapy. We
will give special attention to the use of games, along with more
traditional expressive/enacting play therapies.
