We know we have to talk to our kids about drugs and sex, but gaming and gambling are often not recognized as risky youth behaviors. Basic facts and trends in youth gaming and gambling will be presented as well as the warning signs of a possible addiction. Hear a story of gambling recovery and how we can prevent youth from going down the same path. Learn ways to have the conversation on gaming and gambling behaviors with the youth in your family or those that you serve. Resources for help will be discussed.

Over the past few decades, advances in the neurosciences have led to exciting opportunities to correlate subjective symptom reports with objective measures using imaging and neuroendocrine markers. It is well established that psychotherapy has biological effects on reshaping maladaptive neuronal responses, leading to more flexible activation patterns. This occurs in tandem with clinical response to successful psychological treatments, as patients may soften their rigid cognitions regarding self and others, allowing for more measured approaches to their conflicts. It can be difficult to assimilate the expansive literature on this topic, making it hard to know what information is relevant and useful for practitioners. This presentation will distill how psychotherapy can lead to neurobiological change, linking its effect with the maladaptive activation patterns seen in common psychiatric conditions.

This activity will improve learners’ competency/performance related to patient care, interpersonal and communication skills, and systems-based practice by teaching the latest evidence-based information about veteran suicide prevention. Collaboration with civilian providers with a diverse and sometimes inadequate understanding of military culture highlight a need to provide educational tools to detect illnesses prevalent in the military, such as posttraumatic stress disorder and mild traumatic brain injury. Advances in cultural competency education have improved the skills of providers caring for veterans to include the utilization of the Crisis Response Plan to aid in the prevention of suicidal behavior in at-risk veterans.

Suicide is a leading cause of death among youth and an urgent public health and clinical concern. King’s presentation will cover the demographic and clinical risk for adolescent suicide attempts, highlighting the importance of multi-factorial risk prediction. Following a discussion of risk factors, Dr. King will describe the challenges of suicide risk screening and share the evidence base for three adolescent suicide risk screening tools, discussing their relative strengths and weaknesses. Finally, recent empirical data on the 14-hour warning signs for adolescent suicide attempts will be presented.

The evidence indicates that psychotherapists do not improve their outcomes over the course of their careers. Various methods have been offered for improving outcomes, including delivering evidence based treatments and using routine outcome monitoring (ROM). Neither of these methods has led to therapist development An understanding of what makes psychotherapy work suggests that improved facilitative interpersonal skills (FIS) will lead to improvement of outcomes. Deliberate practice of FIS in challenging interactions will improve outcomes gradually.

There are over four hundred approaches to psychotherapy, most of which branch from the primary streams of knowledge including clinical experience, empirical evidence, theoretical systems, and evidence from related disciplines. What is missing is an organized framework to guide and optimize treatment. The basic building blocks of psychotherapeutics that are fundamental to most approaches are well-documented. Strategic Psychotherapeutics uses these building blocks to inform evidence-based practices, combining the best empirical evidence and clinical expertise, with patient preferences and values. In this presentation, participants will be introduced to the system, which delineates the domains of knowledge that constitute the basic building blocks of psychotherapy. The therapeutic scope and impact of clinicians are enhanced when psychotherapists are grounded in these fundamental knowledge domains and understand how they can be blended. As clinicians gain an understanding of how these basics relate to approaches and technical interventions, more complex therapeutic activities such as assessment, treatment planning, clinical decision making, and alliance maintenance can be appreciated. In this symposium, participants will learn the 11 basic building blocks of psychotherapeutics that can be used to select the approaches and technical interventions best suited to each patient. The goal of this webinar is to enhance clinical expertise by providing the basic, intermediate, and advanced knowledge domains universal to all psychotherapeutics.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common and often debilitating mental health condition characterized by unwanted intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repeated distress-reducing behaviors (compulsions). Frequently misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated, this series of lectures will demystify OCD and related disorders and the most effective protocols for helping those who suffer from them. Attendees new to or heavily experienced in treating OCD and related disorders will gain knowledge from multiple perspectives. This unique format features six lectures from top experts in the field, scheduled across three sessions over the Spring 2024 season. This series includes experts presenting on the concept of growth mindset in OCD treatment, the use of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in OCD treatment, an update on the state of pharmacology in OCD, and sessions on the treatment of perfectionism, hoarding, and health anxiety.

Trauma-informed care tends to focus on the symptoms of a person impacted by trauma. As a treatment-based model, trauma-informed care views these symptoms in isolation which potentially can make one feel like they are what happened to them. Thus, the term “trauma survivor.” As service providers we need to shift from a treatment-based model to a salutogenic approach that supports collective well-being. Healing-centered engagement expands how we think about trauma as an isolated experience and offers a holistic approach to restore well-being. A Healing-Centered approach is holistic involving culture, civic action, and collective healing. A Healing-Centered approach highlights the ways in which trauma and healing are experienced collectively. Healing-Centered Engagement expands how we think about trauma and offers a strengths-based approach to restore well-being. Participants will distinguish trauma-informed care from healing-centered engagement strategies, explore key brain regions as they play a vital role in addressing the wellbeing of Black boys and men, and practice how to apply a healing-centered engagement approach by analyzing a case study.

Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) refers to a group of non-cognitive symptoms and behaviors that occur commonly in patients with dementia. They result from a complex interplay between various biological, psychological and social factors involved in the disease process. BPSD is associated with increased caregiver burden, institutionalization, a more rapid decline in cognition and function and overall poorer quality of life. It also adds to the direct and indirect costs of caring for patients with dementia. Available data indicate efficacy for some non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment modalities for BPSD. However, recently the use of psychotropic medications for the treatment of BPSD has generated controversy due to increased recognition of their serious adverse effects.

Many primary care health professionals feel uncomfortable screening for depression and suicide. The reasons are varied. Some do not feel adequately trained to address mental health issues, others feel these issues are overly complex as well as time and labor intensive within the context of a busy primary care practice. Our four presenters, representing the fields of psychiatry, psychology, and social work, will offer easily implemented screening tools and practices that will help flag patients at high risk for depression and suicide and recommend how to efficiently manage and refer them to the appropriate level of care. As completed suicides climb in the United States, particularly among youth, the elderly, and minority populations, the primary care provider may be the best professional able to identify those at high risk of suicide, especially in light of the finding that most people who complete suicide visited their primary care professional within three to six months of their death. Asking about depression and suicide in primary care can save lives!
