1. A Bilingual’s 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

2. Creating a Vision of Hope Let a therapeutic art experience re-awaken you to the joy

of our profession. Clear up uncertainty about who you

are and what you hope for in your life and career. Artistic

skill not required; bring only your social work heart and a

photograph of yourself. All other materials are provided.

Gina Bryant, LMSW

3. From Youth to Adulthood: The Legacy of a School

Based Gang Prevention and Intervention Program (cultural) School Social Workers and Authors of Effective Intervention for

Gangs and Gang Members in the School Services Sourcebook; will

present a retrospective look at a high school comprehensive gang

prevention and intervention group and the long term effects post

graduation. Participants will have an opportunity to examine many

of the barriers to learning for gang associated youth, particularly

first generation Mexican males. Presenters will share highlights of

recently published work with various take-home assessment tools.

Timothea Elizalde, MSW, LMSW & Gilbert Ramirez, LICSW

4. Integrating Emotional Intelligence: Enhancing

the Skills of Self-awareness, Self-direction and

Self–management Emotional intelligence is the ability to effectively blend thoughts

and feelings in order to make better decisions and create mutually

respectful relationships. The core skills: self awareness, self direc-

tion and self management are teachable and learnable. Join us to

enhance your own EI and add critical skills to your toolbox.

Amy McConnell Franklin, Ph.D., M.P.H., M.Ed.

5. Historical Trauma, Racism and Sexual Violence in

the Lives of Native People (cultural) This presentation will identify historical trauma and understanding

of dynamics of sexual violence in American Indian/Alaska Native

(AI/AN) communities. The training will consider historical experi-

ences, racism issues that impact health and sexual violence in pop-

ulations and their impact on current community perspectives.

Elena Giacci & Rachell Tenorio MSW

6. The Financial Social Work “Financial-Life Manage-ment System” This session affords a content rich training providing exceptional

interaction in combination with many specific personal and profes-

sional learning opportunities. Attendees will discover the psycho-

social foundation to money management along with its many spe-

cific intricacies and challenges. This workshop will disclose the

important connection between emotional stability and financial

circumstances; demonstrate the relevance of financial capability to

clients’ lives; allow attendees to appreciate how personal, emo-

tional and individual the choice to take greater responsibility for

your financial future is.

Reeta Wolfsohn, CMSW

7. The Emotional Effects of Serious Chronic Illness This workshop will define chronic sorrow and related phenomena

in a three part seminar. In a large group we will explore the emo-

tional effects of several chronic medical conditions. 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 practi-

tioners will share their experiences. Through our clinical work

and our study group meetings we are discovering ways of hearing

our clients more fully. Nanette Concotelli-Fisk, LMSW, Harriet Meek, PhD, LISW & Skitch

Ferguson, LMSW

8.Cross Cultural Perspectives on Grief and Loss

(cultural) Participants will be able to discuss dominant cultural norms re-

garding grief, stages of grief and differentiate these between Amer-

ican Indian perspectives and beliefs regarding grief. Discussion will

also include the importance of story, ritual, traditional processes

surrounding loss, support systems impact and role in processing

grief, and changing concepts and trends in mainstream theory.

Facilitators will address changing approaches in the field, changing

perspectives in the field, and the importance of thorough assess-

ments. This workshop will be a unique opportunity to reflect on

the anticipation of loss, grief and loss, and continuing bonds with

the departed through the lens of two experience practitioners of

differing backgrounds and training.

Jennifer S. Nanez, LMSW & Olin Dodson, LPCC

9. DSM-V: Autism Spectrum Disorder Criteria,

General Treatment Principles, and Application to

Work with Individuals and Their Families (cultural) A review of core deficits of autism spectrum disorders (ASD)

from DSM-V criteria leads to general principles for working with

individuals with ASD in a variety of settings, with particular em-

phasis on working with parents and families. 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.

10. Military Sexual Trauma: The Invisible War This presentation will begin with the first screening of The Invisi-

ble 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 ground-

breaking documentary about one of our country's most shameful

and best kept secrets. Today, a female soldier in Iraq and Afghan-

istan 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 cov-

er 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

11. Financial Self-Care Planning Today’s 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 manage-

ment 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 Self-

Care Plans to fill the blank pages of future chapters of their mon-

ey stories with more emotionally and financially stable narratives

and improved outcomes.

Reeta Wolfsohn, CMSW

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 can’t. 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

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. Control and subordi-

nation in the guise of “The War on Drugs” and “Getting tough on

Crime” are the driving force behind mass incarceration and “The

New Jim Crow”.

Julius Harrington, DSW

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

Ups Understand Investigative and clinical social workers will learn useful tech-

niques to engage and encourage children of all ages to provide

meaningful information. Verbal, nonverbal, expressive and lin-

guistic factors will be presented as they inform useful approaches

to maximizing communication at the child’s 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? (cultural) 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

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 con-

sciousness past experiences. This presentation examines the crea-

tive reconstruction of events that accommodate memories to

meet a person’s current emotional needs. This will benefit the

professional in becoming mindful of the older adult’s identity.

Cirilo C. Sandoval ,LISW, LICSW

17. Human Trafficking in the Sex Industry: Issues,

Interventions and Real Testimony The FBI estimates that at least 100,000 American girls (18 and

under) are involved in the sex trafficking trade with a high per-

centage of that number involved in the sex industry. Current

issues/interventions and an actual previous sex industry worker’s

experience will be presented!

Keahi Kimo Souza MS, MSW, LMSW & Roslynn Gallegos, BSW

18. Hope is Alive and Well (cultural) 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.

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

20. Engaging Youth in Self-Development and in School

Through Rap and Poetry (cultural) The P.E.A.C.E. for Change Project has been active in South Valley

Schools since 2011. Working with community slam poets and

school staff, the project creates venues in the schools for poetry,

rap, and builds academic and public performance skills. Staff and

students will share successes, current projects and live perfor-

mance.

Carlos M. Flores MSW, LMSW, LADAC Martin Martinez, NM Depart-

ment of Health, Health Promotion Specialist

21. Native Americans and the Right Brain (cultural) We will take a look at Native American culture from the right

brain perspective to see how the brain’s processing of perception

impacts the culture. The presentation will show the right brain at

work in the Native American culture. A comparison of Western

and Indigenous cultures is made to further demonstrate the left

brain dominance in the Western culture and the right brain domi-

nance in the indigenous culture.

Sharon Manuelito, LISW, ACSW

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 ques-

tions and situations from the audience to respond as consultants.

Cynthia Sontag, MSWAC, LISW, Joyce Wilson, LISW &

Nancy Futran, LISW

23. The Youth Experience of Rape Culture 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 build-

ing 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.

In this session, we will reflect upon the fact that we are the tool

that we utilize in our professional practice, therefore we will take

time to fine tune our spiritual perspective so we can be present to

our clients’ needs.

Dr. Marie A. Laverriere, LISW

25. The Role of Hope, Dignity, and Spirituality in End-

of-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. Atti-

tudes and tools which healthcare providers can use to foster hope

and support spirituality will also be discussed.

Victoria Cain, LMSW, CT

26. Social Work in Case Management in

Traumatic Brain Injury Rehab Brain injury is a life-changing event which impacts not only an indi-

vidual 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

27. Living in a Bind: Married to a Man, Attracted to a

Woman 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 Children’s Lives 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 Reg-

istry, Establishment of Legal Paternity, Navigating the legal process

to gain access to children, Child Support Enforcement and Com-

pliance, and Custody issues are but a few of the many issues that

arise and place huge barriers for young men working to be in-

volved fathers. Participants can expect to gain a stronger under-

standing on how to navigate the legal processes in place to assist

young fathers in becoming engaged parents. Gilbert A. Ramírez, LICSW 29. Mobile APP Therapy: Could This Be the Way of the

Future Intervention? Mental health apps are self-tracking applications designed to in-

crease a client’s understanding of all the things that affect their

mental health which may include depression, substance abuse,

PTSD or stress reduction. This session will cover an overview,

resources and real examples of mental health apps for social

workers use!

Circles: A Proven Community Approach to Address the Challenges of Poverty

1:30 pm—4:30 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 Cir-cles® 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.

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 lever- aging 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.
