The goal of his presentation is to explain why jails and prisons have become our new asylums, why this is wrong, why it wastes money, and how communities can better serve persons with mental illnesses by focusing on a variety of successful programs that help people recover rather than punish them for being ill.

This program will address how to determine when impulsive behavior has become problematic and the relationship between impulsivity and childhood disorders. A definition of impulsivity and a review of etiological models will be presented. In addition, a review of the treatment literature and treatment recommendations will be offered.

    Establishing and Implementing Strategic Vision in Public Sector Settings

    April 17, 2009 in DMH webconference, DMH, Web Conferences by admin

    Date:

    Tuesday, June 23rd at 1:30 pm CDT
    Registration Fee:
    Free
    Program Description:

    Establishing, articulating and promoting a strategic vision are key
    responsibilities of an agency’s leader. A strong vision-driven system
    is one in which the agency’s vision and values serve as:

  • The blueprint that guides agency action into the future;

  • A key motivator for staff, giving a sense of purpose and commitment; and

  • An important “branding tool” that helps external stakeholders and the broader public understand what the agency is trying to achieve and how it will act on the way there.


    • Developing a strategic vision requires clear understanding of the agency’s mission and values, an accurate perception of the environmental, regulatory, fiscal and political constraints in which the agency will operate during the vision’s timeframe, and an honest assessment of the agency’s strengths and weaknesses within those contexts.

    An agency that initiates action without vision, or articulates vision that fails to guide its actions, lacks direction, purpose and motivation and is doomed to ultimate failure.

    Registration Fee:
    Free
    Program Description:

    The Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Approach to treatment applies research about emotions and their management to treatment. This approach is heavily based upon principles of behavior and cognitive therapy. DBT works by helping clients find balance in emotion, thoughts, behavior and/or choices. Clients are taught, as well as shown how to live in balance. Following a year of comprehensive DBT treatment, many clients no longer meet criteria for the diagnosis, and these results are shown to last beyond five years in the follow up studies done to date.

    Clients are moved beyond their symptoms through the artful balance of “validation” (relentless compassion and acceptance of the client) and effective technologies of change (primarily cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness strategies).

    Program Description:

    Magic and mystery are threads woven integrally into the life fabric of every person inhabiting this planet. They can be sources of of great wnonderment, love and enjoyment. They can also form the basis for megalomanic behaviors, bigotry, paranoia and conflict.

    We are all slaves to our brain’s embedded thoughts, those memories that were implanted in our minds beginning in early childhood. Our minds can create magical illusins causing us to believe things that have no basis in reality such as superstitions, placebo medical miracles, religious myths and many others.

    Brain researchers today know how lasting memories are instilled in childhood by cultural beliefs. Memories can last for a lifetime and create the very nature of one’s personality and thoughts. When we are young, we tend to accept without much disagreement whatever we are taught by our parents, teachers, ministers and other authority figures. Thus is our social fabric and culture formed. We know today that stimuli can arise from within the brain using the same neural pathways that can be activated by outside stimuli from the environment. We also now know that brain cells and nerve pathways, activated by thoughts and perceptions, are linked to the pathways that produce our emotions. In these ways, the brain exposes us daily to to deceptive thinking. We do not submit the thoughts thus arising to a careful, logical examination. Our thinking is most often misdirected away from a careful scrutiny of the thoughts that arise. Just as our belief can be swayed by a magician’s dexterity, so we are ruled by our brain’s habitual manipulations, which might well be termed”Sleight of Mind.”

    Ambivalent Prejudice toward Immigrants: The Role of Social Contact and Ethnic Origin

    Program Description:
    Americans have historically held ambivalent attitudes toward immigrants. On one hand, Americans value egalitarianism, characterized by social equality, social justice, and concern for others in need. On the other hand, Americans also value the Protestant Work Ethic (PWE), an individualistic belief in hard work, self-denial, and individual achievement. The present study examined the relationship between egalitarianism and PWE with attitudes toward immigrants of different ethnic origins. We found that egalitarianism was associated with positive attitudes toward immigrants and PWE was associated with negative attitudes. However, whereas PWE predicted negative attitudes toward immigrants in general, when specific immigrant groups were evaluated, only groups stereotypically perceived as violating the PWE were rated more negatively. Further, this study also examined the role that social contact play in shaping attitudes toward immigrants. In line with previous work, close, personal contact was associated with positive attitudes toward immigrants, whereas impersonal contact with negative attitudes. Importantly, espousing egalitarian values was significantly associated with increased personal contact.

    Understanding and Preventing Suicide

    June 29, 2008 in Web Conferences, Calendar by admin

    Date:

    Thursday, August 7th at 1:30 PM CDT
    Registration Fee:
    Free
    Program Description:
    Suicide is a serious public health problem. It is the 11th leading cause of death across the lifespan claiming the lives of more than 32,000 US citizens each year; nearly 90 people a day. Every two hours and eleven minutes someone under 25 completes suicide. Each suicide affects an untold number of family members, friends and acquaintances. Prevention specialists agree suicide can be prevented and its impact reduced in much the same way that deaths due to drunk driving, HIV/AIDS, and drug abuse have been reduced. Imagine how the lives of people would change if even 20% of suicide deaths were prevented. Every life is important and making a difference can be easy as understanding the issues related to suicide and learning warning signs and prevention strategies that can save lives.
    Learning Objectives:

  • Understanding and developing empathy for suicidality.
  • Learning warning signs of suicide.
  • Learning intervention strategies.
  • Learning about resources for training and more information on suicide prevention.

    Helping Children with Functional Pain

    June 28, 2008 in Web Conferences, Calendar by admin

    Date:

    Thursday, August 14 at 1:30 PM CDT
    Registration Fee:
    Free
    Program Description:
    Many children suffer from recurrent or chronic pain that is not due to a medical problem. This type of pain is referred to as functional pain and the most common types of functional pain reported by children are recurrent stomachaches and headaches. The cost of functional pain is considerable. Children with functional pain make frequent doctor visits and are often referred to tertiary care facilities. In addition, several hundred thousand school days are lost each month as a result of functional pain and school absences can negatively impact a child’s academic and social development. A number of psychological interventions have been found to be highly effective in decreasing the frequency, duration, and intensity of pain episodes. Nevertheless, it can be difficult for families to access effective treatment. Learning Objectives

  • Understanding functional pain and its origins and consequences
  • Learning about the significance of functional pain
  • Learning about effective treatment approaches
  • Understanding barriers to effective treatment

    Linking Child Status with System Performance: The Missouri QSR

    Thursday, August 21 at 11:00 AM CDT
    Registration Fee:
    Free
    Program Description:
    The current climate of accountability for our practice, performance, and results creates a need to monitor how well the local system of care
works for our children and families. We need ongoing feedback about
capacities, practices, working conditions and results in our case practices. The Quality Service Review is a case study technique that
relies on a guided professional appraisal by using various sampling
strategies to “spot check” daily frontline practice and performance.
Through the use of status indicators, the QSR shows what’s working for children served and can be used for practice development and service system refinement.Key Concepts of the Quality Service Review will be reviewed, describing how this instrument:

  • Shifts the focus from compliance to practice-linked results;
  • Utilizes a case study technique that relies on a guided peer professional appraisal, and;
  • Uses measurement and learning processes to stimulate practice development and support program improvement.

    Program Description:
    Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a rare (incidence 1:10,000), fatal, inherited neurodegenerative/neuropsychiatric disorder for which there is no known treatment or cure. It is characterized by abnormalities in movement, cognition, and psychiatric disturbances. In the absence of a cure, competent symptomatic treatment and psychosocial support is vital. HD is a family disease, both because of the autosomal dominant inheritance, but also because of the impact of the disease on the family system. Understanding of HD by professionals will aid in providing the best treatment available to optimize care and support for these families.

    Evaluation of an Interactive Substance Abuse Education Program with Dr. Joel Epstein on July 19, 2007 9:30am to 11:30am CDT

    July 15, 2007 in Web Conferences by admin

    Dr. Epstein’s talk, titled Evaluation of an Interactive Substance Abuse Education Program will discuss outcomes of a study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. With this funding, The Missouri Institute of Mental Health produced a series of media tools designed to teach fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade children from African American churches about the science of drug addiction. Beginning with a core curriculum, we created two separate programs. In the SpaceScouts version of the program, the content is embedded within a narrative storyline delivered via an interactive DVD. In the LockerTalk version of the program, content is delivered in a more didactic form via an interactive CD-ROM. Youth from a dozen churches were randomly assigned to one of these two conditions or a waitlist control. We conducted pretest, post-test, and four- and eight-month follow-up evaluations. We ran an additional sample of youth through our programs during a summer camp. In addition to the outcomes, this presentation will also discuss implications for future substance education efforts.

    To see Dr. Epstein’s talk please join us on July 19th, 2007 at 9:30am CDT.
