As the name suggests, Cognitive Therapy (CT) focuses on the way people think ("cognition"). The concept behind CT is that our thoughts about a situation affect how we feel (emotionally and physically) and how we behave in that situation. When people are in distress, the way in which they process information may become distorted, which - if uncorrected - may also lead to dysfunctional behaviors.

CT is a well-researched and evidence-based form of therapy. It has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of psychiatric disorders and psychological problems in more than one thousand studies. In contrast to other forms of psychotherapy, cognitive therapy is focused on the present, practical, and problem-solving oriented. Patients learn specific skills that they can use for the rest of their lives, including identifying distorted thinking, modifying beliefs, relating to others in different ways, and changing behaviors.

In this experiential workshop, licensed social workers and counselors who are new to CBT will learn how to conceptualize cases, structure therapy sessions, and incorporate several cognitive and behavioral interventions to help clients improve their mood, reach their goals, and learn to be their own therapists.

Matthew Mills, LCSW, and Avangelyne Padilla, BSW, will discuss environmental racism as a form of community violence and driver of mental health inequities among young people. Presenters will build awareness, share culturally responsive care and trauma-informed practices, and strengthen mental health providers’ capacity for working with and caring for communities disproportionately impacted by environmental racism.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fifth Edition (DSM-5) was released at the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) annual meeting in May 2013 and the Text Revision was released in March, 2022. Considering the changing healthcare landscape, it is more important now than ever that practitioners understand the benefits and limitations of the diagnostic guide. This course will review the evolution of the DSM, including the possible future direction and challenges utilizing the manual. The training will introduce select DSM-5-TR diagnoses. (NOTE: Serious Mental Illnesses and disorders commonly encountered first during childhood will be covered by other trainings offered by InUnity Alliance)

Mental and behavioral health professionals throughout the United States are mandated reporters of suspected child maltreatment. However, our legal requirement to report is often confusing to navigate in relation to our other professional and ethical responsibilities. This workshop is intended for mental and behavioral health professionals who already have a basic understanding of their obligations as mandated reporters and want to explore areas complicated by our professional relationships with clients in light of these legal obligations. Specifically, we will examine informed consent practices with different client populations, how to support clients after making a report, and how to work with child protective services, especially concerning concerns for racial and social justice in the child welfare system.
