    NEW DATE AND PROGRAM FOR PSYPACT WORKSHOP PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 28TH!!!!

    This workshop is presented by the Utah Psychological Association & Nevada Psychological Association plus a coalition of 16 other State, Provincial and Territorial Psychological Associations.

    Course Description:

    In an era of rapidly evolving technology, telepsychology has become an indispensable tool for expanding access to behavioral health services. However, this transformative modality brings with it a complex web of legal, ethical, and regulatory considerations that demand careful attention. This comprehensive 3-hour course is designed specifically for members of state psychological associations, offering critical insights into the evolving landscape of telepsychology practice. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the foundational principles, legal mandates, and practical applications that govern the delivery of telepsychology services. Key areas of focus will include federal and state regulatory compliance, ethical considerations, and risk management and enforcement. We will provide you with an in depth look at the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), an interstate compact designed to facilitate the practice of telepsychology and the temporary in-person face-to-face practice of psychology across state boundaries. This course will equip you with the essential knowledge and tools to effectively regulate and support the responsible and ethical practice of telepsychology within the states where you practice.

    Learning Objectives:

    At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

    1. List and understand foundational knowledge and ethical considerations, including how to define “telepsychology” and differentiate it from other, related terms; and identify and explain core ethical principles that apply to telepsychology services such as confidentiality and informed consent.

    2. Describe the evolution of telepsychology and its growing importance in behavioral health care service delivery, including potential benefits and limitations of telepsychology for diverse patient populations.

    3. Identify and summarize key federal and state laws that govern telepsychology practice, including state professional licensure requirements, scope of practice considerations, and patient data privacy and security considerations (e.g., HIPAA).

    4. Discuss the implications of cross-jurisdictional practice, including what an interstate compact is (and one example of a compact); what specific objectives PSYPACT has achieved and two things PSYPACT allows psychologists to do to ethically and legally practice according to regulations; and what the governing documents for PSYPACT are and where to locate them. 

    5. Explain the potential consequences of non-compliance with legal and ethical standards in telepsychology, including disciplinary actions, risk of enforcement, and other penalties (e.g., audits, investigations).

    Program Description:

    This workshop will explore the inter-generational wounds of racial trauma, white body supremacy, and interlocking systems of oppression that shape our society and mental health field.  It will explore themes from Dr. Edmond's book Mindful Race Talk; to build mindfulness and somatic resources to address the polarizing topic of race and racism with more agility and fluency in order to meet clients and colleagues where they are in their racial identity development and antiracism journey.  Emphasis will be placed on cultural humility, making repairs when harm has happened, and approaching conversations about power and proximity to whiteness with compassion and embodiment from a trauma-informed perspective.

    4. Identify three strategies to address microaggressions and make repairs.
    5. Identify different stages of antiracism identity development.

    Description of Event:

    Awareness of autism, particularly among adults who were not recognized as autistic in childhood, is growing quickly. There is significant need these days for support and guidance among individuals exploring whether they might be autistic and among therapists supporting clients who have begun this journey. But, many therapists have received little, if any, training on autism in their education process and have not been well prepared to meet this growing need.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Identify masked Autistic clients on their caseload

    2. Assess DSM diagnostic criteria for Autism as well as neurodiversity paradigm for recognizing and explaining Autism

    3. Facilitate discussion of Autistic identity with clients

    4. Build therapeutic alliance with Autistic clients

    5. Create neurodiversity affirming goals and provide neurodiversity affirming skill building when necessary

    6. Identify resources and supports available to Autistic clients seeking additional Autism specific support and/or formal diagnosis

    Presenter: Miriam Zisook, LICSW

    Miriam has been working with Autistic children, teens and adults in multiple roles since 2004. She has worked with disabled and Autistic people in schools, recreational settings, and home settings as a researcher, a coach, and an outpatient therapist. 

    Miriam’s work is grounded in a Neurodiversity affirming paradigm that centers disabled clients as experts in their lived experience and honors the value of differences between people. She works to help clients live authentically and develop the adaptations they need to thrive while resisting pressures to assimilate to neurotypical and normative culture

    Program Description:

    Ableist thoughts, behaviors, and values lead to bias, prejudice, and discrimination.  Because disability is often excluded as a dimension of diversity, disability and ableism are less understood than other minoritized groups/issues.  By understanding what ableism looks like in mental health treatment, therapists and clinicians can begin working to increase overall treatment access for disabled clients.  Additionally, with a better understanding of their own implicit and explicit biases about disability, therapists and clinicians can improve their clinical practice with disabled clients and colleagues.  

    Level of Instruction:

    Introductory

    Learning Objectives: 

    1. Describe three models of disability.

    2. Identify ableism biases, both implicit and explicit.

    3. Analyze disability as an identity.

    4. Assess forms of ableism in current psychological practices.

    About the Presenter:

    Katlin Schultz, Psy.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at The Ohio State University. She earned her doctorate from Adler University in 2019, with an emphasis in Primary Care Psychology and Behavioral Medicine. She completed her internship at the VA Eastern Kansas Health Care Medical Center and completed her 2-year post-doctoral fellowship in Rehabilitation Psychology at the VA Long Beach Healthcare System. She has been on faculty at OSU since 2021, and currently provides services through rehabilitation psychology outpatient, psychosocial oncology, and is the rehabilitation psychology lead for the interdisciplinary Post-COVID Recovery Clinic. She specializes in working with adults with chronic health conditions and disabilities, including spinal cord injury, chronic pain, cancer, as well as other injuries or medical events. Clinical areas of focus are on coping and adaptation to chronic health conditions and disability, multiculturalism and intersectionality within the therapy process, addressing ableism and healthcare disparities within the healthcare system, and working within multidisciplinary teams in order to support whole-health initiatives. 

    Her approach to psychotherapy treatment is from an acceptance and commitment therapy and disability affirmative lens, assisting patients in coping and adapting to changes resulting from chronic health conditions and/or disability, and supporting persons in leading an engaged, meaningful, and fulfilling life. Outside of work, she enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring new places, playing board games and spending time with friends and family.
