  5. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention

    May 10, 2019 - 9:00am to 12:00pm

    Suicide is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States and worldwide. Nearly 50% of individuals who end life by suicide see a primary care provider within a month of death, yet suicide risk assessment and treatment is consistently difficult in practice. With the majority of mental health services in the US being delivered by social workers, it is imperative that knowledge and skills are in place for our work with clients with the ultimate goal being to prevent premature suicidal death. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for suicide prevention is a valuable evidence-based intervention and effective approach to use in practice for individuals experiencing suicidal ideation and/or whom have made an attempt.

    This workshop will discuss suicide as public health issue in the US, suicide risk assessment, a brief overview of CBT theory and basics, and a central focus on intervention using CBT for suicide prevention.

  7. Working with Latino Families

    May 15, 2019 - 9:00am to 5:00pm

    Latinos constitute the largest ethnic minority group in the United States. The United States Latino population is immensely diverse, with members originating from over twenty countries. Latino sub-populations tend to reside in different areas of the United States, have different cultural practices/norms, immigration experiences, and varying levels of economic attainment. These sources of internal variation are important, as they have implications for many social outcomes and social work practice with Latino families. This mini course focuses on the theoretical, empirical and practice literature on Latino families in the United States. The mini course will allow for students to become familiar with demographic trends, health disparities, acculturation and acculturative stress, and the current debates surrounding the immigrant health paradox. Additionally, this mini course will cover key methodological approaches aimed at engaging Latino families in mental health and health care services, as well as...

It will examine spirituality as rooted in the history of social work practice as well as exploring how to best define, integrate, and use spiritual assessment and interventions in addressing presenting client issues in clinical setting today.

    Speaker

    Mary Ruffolo, PhD, LMSW

    Agenda

    9-9:30am | Overview: Supervision and the Use of Simulations and Role Play

    9:30-10am | How Faculty can Use Simulations with Students in Class

    10-10:30am | Maximizing Instruction Benefits in Using Simulations

    10:30-11am | Practicum: Try it Out

    Description

    Join the Field Office and the Associate Dean for Educational Programs to learn more about how instructors for the U-M SSW can utilize online simulations for both their own practice as well as how to use with students. The U-M SSW has given students and instructors access to simulations in the last year, and these simulations are valuable tools for practicing a multitude of intervention techniques. Simulations help students to learn the technique and then practice it in a virtual setting - all before having to use them with real-world clients. This helps students learn many challenges of therapy and make mistakes with a virtual client before working with clients in the field. We will show instructors what these simulations look like, how students should use them, how they can incorporate them in class, and then give time to practice the simulations.

    Learning Objectives

    Describe different methods of teaching when using simulations in class.

    Apply knowledge of simulations and how they work during class with students.

  10. Alumni Webinar Series: Building a Culture of Philanthropy

    May 16, 2019 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

    Non-profit organizations have the unique opportunity to fund programmatic, capital, and endowment projects through well-conceived philanthropy, and most require some level of donated funds to successfully meet their mission. Truly successful fundraising is achieved when a strong culture of philanthropy is in place. In these non-profits, everyone, including volunteer leadership, assumes responsibility for philanthropy and understands the important role they play in making it happen. Even when the organization has full-time, dedicated fundraising staff, no one is exempt. There are key elements that need to be securely in place for sustainable fundraising success within an organization. This presentation will define these elements, describe their importance, and demonstrate how participants can measure each element within their own organization.

    Note: This webinar is free for U-M SSW alumni.
