Our panel of experts explore psychological perspectives and actions on the recent confluence of the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 and its intersection with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement on communities of color and other communities. The dual pandemics of systemic racism and COVID-19 have led governments to declare racism a “public health crisis.” How does this manifest in the mental health of communities of Black, Indigenous, People of Color? The discussion will focus on how these dual pandemics have impacted the conversations psychologists are having in the workplace, with colleagues, and with clients. The experts will offer suggestions on how psychologists in a variety of settings can address comments ranging from insensitive to overtly racist. Do these responses differ depending on whether one is perceived as a member of the majority or minority culture? If so, how?

The Trust and TrustPARMA has partnered with CAMS-care to offer this webinar as a way for psychologists to build awareness about using evidence based, suicide-focused treatment for suicidal patients. Our experts will explore the issues psychologists face and how to address licensing boards and angry clients. They’ll also look at the prevalence of suicidal ideation and why training more clinicians in evidence-based treatment is paramount to reducing the national suicide rate. They’ll detail the magnitude of suicide rates in America, screening and assessment best practices to determine when to hospitalize a suicidal patient, and the considerations for treating patients in an outpatient clinical setting. There will be an overview of evidence-based treatments (DBT, CT-SP, BCBT and CAMS), systems of care, why psychologists will continue to play a vital role, using the Suicide Status Form (SSF) as a clinical roadmap, and much more. Featuring: Eric A. Harris, Ed.D., J.D. and David A. Jobes, Ph.D., ABPP [Note] this webinar was filmed in 2020 and may not reflect the most current information and laws regarding this topic. Learning Objectives Identify current practices for managing suicidal patients. Describe risk management strategies for dealing with patients with suicidal ideation. Identify risk management and clinical benefits of integrating empirically validated screening and treatment techniques in outpatient clinical private practices.

For more than 30 years, cultural competence has been acknowledged as being central to providing effective therapy, typically in cross-cultural counseling, but also in identifying important areas of difference that may go unaddressed in presumed areas of similarity (e.g., similar race but economic or religious differences). It has generally been described as having three main components: attitudes/beliefs, knowledge and skills (D. W. Sue, Arredondo, ​&​ McDavis, 1992; D. W. Sue et al., 1982). In recent years, “cultural humility” has gained ascendance as a key concept. Across studies, cultural humility has been defined as involving (a) a lifelong motivation to learn from others, (b) critical self-examination of cultural awareness, (c) interpersonal respect, (d) developing mutual partnerships that address power imbalances, and (e) an other-oriented stance open to new cultural information (Mosher, Hook, Farrell, Watkins, ​&​ Davis, 2017). The presenters will explore this evolution and make the argument that cultural humility is an ongoing, active process incorporated into all practice and should be considered an ethical requirement. They will also offer suggestions for lifelong learning and application of this imperative. Featuring: Josephine D. Johnson, Ph.D., Trustee (Moderator); Miguel Gallardo, Psy.D.; Thema Bryant-Davis, Ph.D. [Note] This webinar was filmed in 2020 and may not reflect the most current information and laws regarding this topic. Objectives:  Differentiate the concepts of cultural competence and cultural humility. Identify how cultural humility should be considered an ethical imperative. Describe ways to incorporate cultural humility into various areas of psychological practice.

Part 1: Understanding the Stakes and Recognizing the Terrain Part 1 of this series examines self-care in detail – what it is and how it is essential to mental health treatment of all kinds. We will consider the ethical and regulatory obligations of all psychologists to proactively attend to self-care, explore its vital link to professional competence and clinical effectiveness, and situate self-care as one of the most essential risk-management practices available to clinicians. In addition, we will look closely at the terrain of clinician distress, burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious traumatization. Relevant research and distinguishing features of each of these experiences will be examined, as will warning signs and indicators of potential impairment. In doing so we will consider the unique manifestations of these factors in our world today and the implications for providers and patients/clients alike. Lastly, a self-care continuum will be presented, with an expanded focus on wellness and a beginning look at possible pathways to clinician well-being and thriving. Featuring: Leisl Bryant, Ph.D., ABPP [Note] This webinar was filmed in 2021 and may not reflect the most current information and laws regarding this topic. Objectives: Define self-care. Identify the connection between effective self-care and psychologists’ ethical obligations, competence, and clinical effectiveness. List at least five risks of not appropriately tending to self-care. Explain components of distress, burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious traumatization and how to recognize each of these. Describe the self-care continuum and various pathways to improving clinician well-being. Apply self-care as a risk management strategy.
