consider-before venturing into drafting policy. They will learn the
instruments of US power such as Diplomacy, Information, Military, and

Burnout (It's a REAL THING) and Self-Care for Helping Professionals
Therapy in the era of a pandemic poses some unique challenges for
Clinicians related to boundary maintenance and maximizing self-care in
new ways. Based on the book, "Burnout and Self-Care in Social Work" by
Sarakay Smullens, participants will be introduced to a working
definition of Burnout, three components characterizing it, risk factors
for not addressing it, causes of it, related conditions and statistical
variables related to burnout. Participants will take a
self-administered assessment for burnout, learn about how to have a
stress-reducing conversation with a trusted support person and have an
opportunity to create a personal plan for preventing and/or addressing
burnout. Opportunities for sharing effective self-care resources will
be a part of this presentation.

Implicit Bias in the Manifestation of Trauma
Everyone has implicit biases. It is important to become mindful of how
they can show up and impact our work with others. In this interactive
session, we will explore the dynamics of implicit bias and its impact on
decision-making in behavioral health spaces.
This series will challenge you to reflect on and become more aware of
your own biases and grapple with the concepts of prejudice, bias,
microaggressions and stereotypes. We will examine strategies to break
the biases that show up in our work with clients and communities and
advance equitable outcomes through trauma-informed,
culturally-responsive services!
