- Short Description:
- How often do providers of abuser intervention services hear the clients ask “why wasn’t I taught this when I was younger”? So many times, the positive interventions of effective communication, recognition of emotions/feelings, and healthy patterns of interaction aren’t taught to the offender until much destruction and damage has been inflicted on others and themselves. Promoting healthy relationships and reducing relationship abuse during adolescence is an important component to breaking the inter-generational cycle of abuse. When working with adolescents however, it requires awareness of their developmental stages and being able to appeal to their learning style in order to be engaging and impact changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviors for long-term benefit. This workshop will review the research and brain science on how to engage effectively with adolescents and enhance relational connectedness through inquiry-based learning strategies.

- This session will provide an overview of the process of engaging with community to create and work towards implementation of a primary prevention strategy to address domestic and sexual violence. IMPACT Alberta has been working with over 350 stakeholders and members over the past two years to develop and create a primary prevention framework to addressing domestic and sexual violence. Through this presentation we will provide a case study of how we used a community led approach to this work, ensuring that communities across our diverse province are seen and heard in the creation and articulation process. The presenters will review the challenge of aligning community and research, the role that the backbone has in navigating the grey spaces between both groups and the overall impact this has on the successful creation and implementation of a large-scale systems change initiative.

- Short Description:
- Structural racism or systemic oppression describes how racism is woven throughout current socio-economic and political systems, maintained by policies and procedures and standard operating practices, thereby reinforcing attitudes and beliefs sustaining racially based inequalities (Braveman et al., 2022). As such, structural racism implies and involves connections within and across multiple social systems at multiple levels involving health care, banking and financial systems, employment, education, and the criminal justice system (Gee & Hicken, 2021; Shelton et al., 2021). Moreover, the impact of structural racism, embodied as interrelated, interactive systems of inequity, extends across generations as a unified system of beliefs and values manifested as conscious and unconscious habits and social norms, represented as implicit biases, that in turn reinforce systemic racist behaviors and practices (Banaji et al., 2021; Groos et al., 2018; Payne & Hannay, 2021).

- Individuals experiencing abuse often first disclose to informal support networks, including faith leaders. However, faith leaders and religious communities often have little training on how to respond to abuse and are unprepared for these conversations. This presentation will review research statistics on clergy response and then discuss ways to engage with faith leaders, encourage them to create safer faith communities, and collaborate for the benefit of victims and survivors. We will discuss cultivating and nurturing connections with faith communities, the ethical integration of faith and practice, how to approach the topic of domestic violence policy in congregations, and how survivor spirituality can help empower healing and hope.

- Short Description:
- In recent years there has been an increase in ethics complaints filed with various mental health licensing boards around the country. More mental health professionals are now being confronted with responding to such complaints, especially in regard to forensic cases such as child custody evaluations in family court. In fact, the major complaints to ethics committees of licensing boards now involves child custody cases, parenting disputes, child sexual abuse cases, treatment of clients or testimony in forensic cases. This has replaced complaints about sexual contact between a client and therapist. Most graduate programs or even ethics workshops do not necessarily train mental health professionals in appropriate ways to respond to licensing board complaints, their subpoenas, use of your own expert, hiring attorneys, or dealing with accusations that are actually filed and subsequent administrative law hearings.

- Short Description:
- First responders (FR) face an increased risk of mental disorders due to their frequent exposure to potentially psychologically traumatic events. The impact of these stressors extends to FR families, with spouses often bearing the brunt of supporting the fire member and the family. Various initiatives targeting operational and organizational interventions have emerged to reduce the frequency and severity of posttraumatic stress injuries (PTSI) among FR’s, including fire, paramedics, and police. Many interventions, however, are lacking in evidence to support the validity and feasibility in producing measurable change in participants. In response to this, two intervention programs – the Before Operational Stress (BOS) program (McElheran, 2018) and the Re: Building Families (RBF) program (Schwartz et al., 2022) – have been developed and tested to demonstrate their effectiveness in reducing the cognitive, behavioural and social impacts of PTSIs.

This is the highest number since 2005 and constitutes a nearly 50% increase in the number of assaults against women (DOD SAPRO, 2019). Despite the creation of the DOD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office in 2005, prevention efforts have failed to adequately counter the culture of misogyny and harassment in the U.S. military that contribute to the epidemic of sexual violence.

- Many scholars have proposed that involvement in the Criminal Justice (CJ) system and the stress of re-entry should be considered a form of trauma. The phrase Post-Conviction Traumatic Stress (PCTS) was recently introduced to capture the cognitive-emotional and physiological symptoms of trauma resulting from contact with the criminal justice system (CJS). The construct was empirically validated using the Post-Traumatic Stress Checklist for DSM-5. This workshop will first describe the construct of PCTS, grounded in theory and research about traumatic stress related to CJS involvement. The link between trauma-induced dysregulation and dynamic risk factors will be described. The second half of the workshop will focus on specific strategies to identify and address PCTS, including psychoeducation, tools for identifying triggers, mindfulness, cognitive interventions for intrusive thoughts, expressive arts, grounding exercises, client self-care, resilience-building, and facilitating post-traum

- People with histories of profound and chronic abuse may exhibit behaviors marked by constant crisis, overwhelming emotions, interpersonal and social challenges and distorted beliefs generating internal anguish and external chaos. Exposure to on-going uncontrollable events, consistent with complex trauma, triggers uncertainty, impairing the ability to respond in healthy ways decreasing the person’s sense of agency, inhibits their capacity to connect, and contributing to a profound sense of shame. Informed clinicians can facilitate clients’ understanding of the interplay between neurobiological responses and the sequelae of repetitive interpersonal abuse, reducing the sense of shame. Focusing on clinical concerns and conflicts, common in the first two stages of treatment; the therapist is challenged to advance treatment by exploring what is being expressed through the therapeutic relationship, guiding the client through new ways of thinking, perceiving, and being.

So, as we shift towards recovery-oriented systems of care, it is integral that we support recovery in the workplace.

- This presentation will challenge the ideologies that have been the sole basis of “Batterer Intervention Programs” for more than 40 years. It will propose that a new foundation for developing, running programs and creating curriculums is necessary. It starts with “Following the Science” as one of the multi-intersectional factors necessary to understand violent behavior, actually any behavior for that matter. It is important to look outside the “traditional field” of batterer intervention that includes the scientific research around the neural-physuilogical processes that are the basis for all behavior as human beings. This presentation then integrates the factors of trauma experience and its effects on behavior. To not use this information today as the basis for intervening with those who are hurtful towards their intimate partners may be, at best, “science ignorance,” or at worst, “science-denying/refusing.”
