SUMMARY:Supporting Individuals with Mild to Moderate Dementia
DESCRIPTION:Supporting Individuals with Mild to Moderate Dementia \nInstructors: Brittany Lueken\, LMSW\, and Cheryl Kinney\, LCSW \nEvent Information \n\nThis event is will offer CEU credits totaling 1.5 hours for LPCs\, LCSWs\, LMFTs\nIf you are a Psychotherapy Saint Louis member this training is free; please be sure you are logged in when registering.\n\nEvent Description:\nNon-pharmacological interventions are recommended as the first line of support for individuals living with mild to moderate memory loss\, yet research to support these interventions is not widely available and few community-based programs exist. \nThis workshop reviews evidence-based and evidence-informed interventions including psychotherapy\, Cognitive Stimulation Therapy\, Reminiscence Therapy\, Life Review\, and person-centered care\, in an effort to prepare dementia-capable practitioners and expand programming to enhance the quality of life of this population. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the importance and efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions for mild-moderate dementia.\nKnow several evidence-based interventions for dementia\, their components\, and how they are delivered.\nConceptualize how one can incorporate them into their own work with clients.\n\nInstructor Bios\n \nBrittany Lueken\, LMSW is a former Montessori teacher with a passion for working with older adults that started when she began taking care of her grandmother\, who had Alzheimer’s. She continues to be influenced by Montessori in her work with older adults\, which provides a methodology for constructive communication\, fostering independence\, self-efficacy and the cultivation of a community rooted in respect and dignity. \nCheryl Kinney\, LCSW is a psychotherapist and certified life coach with over 35 years experience working with older adults and caregivers. Cheryl teaches university-level courses on aging and recently launched a private counseling practice after working over 24 years for the Alzheimer’s Association.  Cheryl has lost her father\, his parents and several of their siblings to Alzheimer’s disease. \nTogether\,  Britt and Cheryl share a passion for enhancing the lives of individuals with memory loss and supporting their care partners. They realized through their experiences that while there are many supportive services available for caregivers throughout the disease and supportive services available for those in the moderate to late stage of dementia\, resources are lacking or not well known to those in the mild to moderate stage. Britt and Cheryl have made a commitment to change that.

While the lifetime prevalence for a psychotic disorder is estimated between 1-3% of the population\, as many as 1 in 20 people are likely to experience some psychotic symptom at some point in their lives. Symptoms of psychosis can range from hearing voices to subtle paranoia\, and can be caused by a whole spectrum of things including medical causes\, stress\, severe mood disorders\, PTSD with secondary psychotic features\, and Schizophrenia. While many therapists do not seek out to treat psychosis\, chances are that you have met or even currently are meeting with at least one client coping with this. In this workshop we will overview some simple strategies based in CBT for psychosis and Recovery-Oriented therapies for identifying and assisting with these challenges. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nRecognize signs of psychosis as an umbrella symptom\nLearn how to use engagement strategies most helpful to clients with psychosis including normalizing\, ‘befriending’ interventions\, and how to ask probing questions without invalidating a person’s experience\nLearn strategies for assisting clients with common psychotic symptoms including voices\, paranoia\, loss of sense of self\, and loss of motivation\nLearn about anasognosia as a common experience and how to assist clients who do not recognize the illness as well as learn when and how to effectively refer a client experiencing psychosis when needed\n\nInstructor bio: A person in mental health recovery herself\, Jennifer Gerlach\, is a clinician with extensive experience and training in treating psychosis. She currently works in private practice\, but has also worked historically within a first episode psychosis specific program and has completed training in CBT for Psychosis\, First-Episode Psychosis specific interventions\, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. She has an upbeat and hopeful perspective of psychosis and individuals who face this.
