SUMMARY:OLOGY | August 21
DESCRIPTION:Therapy in the Age of the Algorithm \nKatherine Strong Woods\, Psy.D.\, Staff Psychologist\, The Center  \nAs social media platforms increasingly shape how people understand mental health\, therapists are finding that many clients enter the therapy room with preconceived language\, frameworks\, and self-concepts formed from online content. Let’s explore both the benefits and the limitations of these narratives\, highlighting how “therapy speak” and algorithm-driven content impact clients in both therapeutic and destructive ways. We will provide clinicians with a framework that facilitates practical\, clinically grounded interventions that engage clients’ social media content as opportunities for deeper collaboration\, psychoeducation\, and meaningful change. \nAugust 21 from 8:30 – 10 am \n *1 CEU\, $50 registration fee\, student pricing available \nMore info and registration HERE

SUMMARY:OLOGY | September 25
DESCRIPTION:From Awareness to Access: The Gap Between Mental Health Needs and System Capacity\nJennifer Erisime\, LCSW-S\, Executive Director\, Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute-Dallas  \nMental health awareness has expanded\, yet the infrastructure to meet rising demand has not kept pace. As a result\, many individuals still first enter care during moments of crisis\, often through fragmented systems that are not designed to provide continuity or connection to ongoing care. This session will focus on the role of clinicians working in community settings and how they are positioned at the intersection of early identification\, crisis response\, and ongoing care. Then we will examine how these challenges are being addressed through current behavioral health policy efforts\, including initiatives aimed at improving access\, strengthening coordination across systems\, and building a more sustainable continuum of care. \nAND \nIntegrative Beneficence: Ethics and Professional Responsibilities Beyond Therapy Culture\nNathaniel R. Strenger\, Psy.D.\, Director of Clinical Advancement\, The Center\n \nPerhaps in the “therapy culture” era\, while the influence that therapeutic language has over public life skyrockets\, mental health care providers need to revisit the meanings of their ethical principles. Drawing from cultural psychology\, relational models\, and integrative approaches to human flourishing\, participants will explore how clinicians’ understandings of beneficence\, autonomy\, validation\, and responsibility shape assessment\, treatment planning\, psychoeducation\, and therapeutic influence. The presentation will address ethical considerations related to therapist authority\, pathology and the ordinary\, relational harm\, and the social consequences of clinical framing. \nSeptember 25 from 8:30 – Noon  \n *1.5 CEUs and 1.5 Ethics CEUs\, $100 registration fee\, student pricing available \nMore info and registration HERE
