1. A Bilinguals Healing Journey: In Search of the Language of the Heart (cultural)

Psychotherapy for a bilingual client is complex when experienced in their second language. It does not always provide healing or helpful outcomes. Much can be misunderstood and much can be missed altogether. Language is in the spotlight when we consider therapy with bilingual clients. Yet, language is rarely the focus of psychotherapeutic work that is referred to as the talking cure. This reference speaks to the importance of language. The bilingual client is able to navigate verbal communication in two worlds, but remains at a disadvantage when the intimacy of their culture and expression of their affective experience cannot be accessed in their second language. Their first language holds the bonds of their attachment ties and the rhythm and intonations in the voices of their primary caregiving relationship. Maria Elena Oliva, LCSW

Master Seminar Session

5. Historical Trauma, Racism and Sexual Violence in the Lives of Native People (cultural)

Reeta Wolfsohn, CMSW

In a small workgroup participants will discuss their experience with these phenomena in their practice. Back in the large group we will enjoy feedback from the small groups and a panel discussion of practitioners will share their experiences.

A recent case-study of the effects of therapeutic horsemanship and hippotherapy on pre-adolescents highlights hopeful implications for advanced social work practice with clients with autism. Debra Sugar, LISW, LCSW & Wanda Whittlesey-Jerome, MSW, LMSW, Ph.D.

13. The New Jim Crow (cultural)

This presentation exposes documents and shines a spot light on the reasons for the mass incarceration of minority young people, specifically African Americans and Hispanics.

14. Let Me Tell You My Way: How to Make Grown Ups Understand

10. Military Sexual Trauma: The Invisible War

This presentation will begin with the first screening of The Invisible War Documentary followed by Q&A with MST survivors. The subject matter is about the investigative epidemic of rape of soldiers within the US military. The Invisible War is a groundbreaking documentary about one of our country's most shameful and best kept secrets. Today, a female soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire with the number of assaults in the last decade alone in the hundreds of thousands. Focusing on the powerfully emotional stories of several young women, the film reveals the systemic cover up of the crimes against them and follows their struggles to rebuild their lives and fight for justice. The Invisible War features hard-hitting interviews with high-ranking military officials and members of Congress that reveal the perfect storm conditions that exist for rape in the military, its history of cover-up, and what can be done to bring about much needed change. Geri Lynn Weinstein-Matthews, LMSW, LICSW

Investigative and clinical social workers will learn useful techniques to engage and encourage children of all ages to provide meaningful information. Verbal, nonverbal, expressive and linguistic factors will be presented as they inform useful approaches to maximizing communication at the childs level. Whether an intervention is forensic or clinical, or even an initial safety check, it is a win-win situation when the professional obtains a greater quantity and quality of reliable assessment information, while the child feels truly heard, encouraged and hopeful for a better tomorrow. Madaline Linde Merry, MA, LMHC & Michelle Aldana, MA, LMHC

15. What is Gender?

This presentation will address how men and women are defined and how culture influences this perspective. Other topics will include gender spectrum/diversity, how gender is determined, and the conflation of gender expression and sexual orientation. LGBT topics will be discussed, but the goal of this presentation is to improve practice with clients regardless of identity. Jen Panhorst, LMSW

(cultural)

Breakout Session 2
11. Financial Self-Care Planning
Todays fast paced lifestyle too often prevents self-care of any kind from being a priority and Financial Self-Care from even being a consideration. This newer work has been developed into an exciting workshop which reframes the concept of money management into one which is more positive, nurturing, engaging and achievable. This session connects attendees to their individual money stories and how past chapters have influenced present ones. Based on this insight attendees will use their Financial SelfCare Plans to fill the blank pages of future chapters of their money stories with more emotionally and financially stable narratives and improved outcomes. Reeta Wolfsohn, CMSW

Breakout Session 3
16. Life Review, Interacting with the Elderly
Life review occurs when older individuals experience a natural occurrence of a mental process by which they return to consciousness past experiences. This presentation examines the creative reconstruction of events that accommodate memories to meet a persons current emotional needs. This will benefit the professional in becoming mindful of the older adults identity. Cirilo C. Sandoval ,LISW, LICSW

17. Human Trafficking in the Sex Industry: Issues, Interventions and Real Testimony

12. The Next Osama: Getting Well in a Culture of Fear

Of all the clinical professions, social work is the only one that seriously takes context into account and sees the patient in situ. How can we treat people without helping them to see what the culture around them is teaching them? How can they get better without seeing all the ways in which the culture keeps them sick? The answer is simple: we cant. Without awareness and the empowerment to choose, pathology perseveres and health, which is adaptability, freedom, and the ability to give and receive love, remains elusive. This seminar is a brief, but passionate exploration of the medium and the message in American culture. Judith Acosta, LISW

The FBI estimates that at least 100,000 American girls (18 and under) are involved in the sex trafficking trade with a high percentage of that number involved in the sex industry. Current issues/interventions and an actual previous sex industry workers experience will be presented! Keahi Kimo Souza MS, MSW, LMSW & Roslynn Gallegos, BSW

18. Hope is Alive and Well

Every time a victim enters the doors of a shelter for domestic violence she IS making a difference. A difference for a better life for herself and her children. To take that walk, to even begin, a seed beckons to her, a seed of hope for a new way of living. Gloria Champion

(cultural)

19. NM: Juvenile Justice Reform and Hope for the Future

New Mexico is positioned to become a state-wide model site for juvenile justice reform through the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI), a process that will involve citizens from every community as agents of change and hope. This presentation will give social workers a foundation from which to actively engage in developing this model for their own communities. Anne McGoey, LISW, Judge John Romero, Gerri Dupree, Patti Vowell & Traci Neff

Breakout Session 5
25. The Role of Hope, Dignity, and Spirituality in Endof-Life Care
In lecture and discussion, this workshop presents recent research on the role of hope and spirituality as motivators which enhance quality of life and dignity in the patient, family, and friends.

Breakout Session 4

26. Social Work in Case Management in Traumatic Brain Injury Rehab

Brain injury is a life-changing event which impacts not only an individual but also their entire family system. The role of the social worker case manager is important in the journey to recovery in order to provide education, support, and advocacy for all involved. Teresa Howard, LBSW, CBIS, CCM & Sheila Howard, LMSW

Sharon Manuelito, LISW, ACSW

This workshop will address the complexity of issues that married women face when they question their sexual orientation. There are many emotional binds this puts a woman in when she becomes aware of same sex attractions. We will explore the questions and decisions women face when confronted with this awareness and it will include a panel of women who will share their stories. Elaine Meizlish, MSW, LISW

28. Empowering Young Fathers: Supporting Parental Engagement in Childrens Lives

22. Ethics: The NASW Code of Ethics as a Living Document

The NASW Ethics Consultation Committee is presenting a panel discussion to address the active use of the NASW Code of Ethics. We will be presenting an overview of how to conceptualize the Code, discuss a case from multiple perspectives, then take questions and situations from the audience to respond as consultants. Cynthia Sontag, MSWAC, LISW, Joyce Wilson, LISW & Nancy Futran, LISW

This presentation is designed to address the challenges young fathers face in their attempts to be involved and engaged parents in New Mexico. Use of the New Mexico Putative Fatherhood Registry, Establishment of Legal Paternity, Navigating the legal process to gain access to children, Child Support Enforcement and Compliance, and Custody issues are but a few of the many issues that arise and place huge barriers for young men working to be involved fathers. Participants can expect to gain a stronger understanding on how to navigate the legal processes in place to assist young fathers in becoming engaged parents.

This session will cover an overview, resources and real examples of mental health apps for social workers use! Keahi Kimo Souza MS, MSW, LMSW

Rape culture socializes teens to believe that they are the only one that sees violence as a problem and teaches them to accept it. This presentation will focus on a social norms theory approach to help teens deconstruct messages, recognize allies and skills building approaches to stand up against violence. Amy Whitfield, LMSW & Bianca Villani, BA

24. LISW to Jail Chaplain

Dr. Laverriere does Interfaith Chaplaincy at Bernalillo County Jail.

Locked In: Systemic Barriers That Keep People in Poverty & Circles: A Proven Community Approach to Address the Challenges of Poverty

Presented by Scott Miller CEO and co-founder of Move the Mountain Leadership Center, Nancy Southern, Ed.D Chair of the MA and PhD programs in Organizational Systems at Saybrook University & Sidni Lamb, MA Coordinator for Circles New Mexico. Locked In: Systemic Barriers That Keep People in Poverty 9:00 am 12:00 pm
The barriers that people face in trying to get out of poverty are enormous. Being poor in the United States is exhausting since the barriers are systemic and interrelated. Individuals living in poverty are problem solvers who have the capability to exercise choice and power in designing their own "future stories". They can become leaders in their communities who understand how to break through barriers, through leveraging resources and relationships. Yet, it takes more than individual learning and change to move out of poverty. Our communities must change, our agencies must change and our policies must change. By better understanding the challenges faced by people in poverty, we can be partners in paving the way to economic stability for our entire community.

Circles: A Proven Community Approach to Address the Challenges of Poverty 1:30 pm4:30 pm
The Circles Model aims to (1) change the mindset of the community so it wants to and thinks it can end poverty; (2) change the goals (policy, law) of the system to end poverty; and (3) empower people to self-organize. The mission of Circles is to build relationships across race and socioeconomic class lines in order to realize more positive economic and life outcomes for families living in poverty. It is an approach to work at solutions that address both the societal problems and individual challenges. By establishing a broader base of middle and upper middle class citizens who are close to families living with low incomes, they begin to access broader networks to support their own self-sufficiency, and social and public policy becomes more enlightened. Thus, Circles is a high impact approach whose core strategies are designed to enhance the social capital of low income people while energizing the community into action.
