Financial Impact of End-of-Life Care

This presentation examines the cost of our cultural denial of mortality. Healthcare providers must find ways to prioritize patient’s goals and values ahead of technology and pharmaceuticals that prolong life without hope for meaningful recovery. We explore the 1 CEU meaning of futile care and resolutions for the cultural taboo surrounding death. Audience members will be able to cite 3 reasons for the high costs of care at the end of life, discuss how a variety of ways to define futile care, and explain how death denial impacts the US at both macro and micro levels.

10:30-11:45 1. CBT for Insomnia

Driving without enough sleep can be as dangerous as drunk driving, lead to dementia, hypertension, diabetes and increase risk for worker’s compensation claims. Yet the national average of sleep per night continues to decrease even though we have an evidenced based Session I therapy (EBT) that is 90% effective. Come learn more about cognitive behavioral therapy Breakouts (CBT) for insomnia. Learning objectives include: 1. Review diagnostic criteria for insomnia disorder 2. Provide prevalence rates for insomnia 3. Provide an overview of CBT-I 1.25 CEUs 4. Learn screening and assessment tools

2. Medical, Mental Health and Social Implications of Incarceration: VA Initiatives

We will take a closer look at the medical, mental health, and social implications of incarceration and initiatives within the VA to meet the needs of justice involved Veterans that can be replicated in other health care settings. The VA intercepts justice involved Veterans at various points in the justice system, from jail and the court systems, to correctional facilities, in order to help avoid unnecessary criminalization, plan for re-entry and provide timely access to services. These programs are designed to help link Veterans to needed health, mental health and social services to avoid criminalization, prevent recidivism, and promote successful re-entry. Learning objectives include: 1. Learning medical, mental health and social implications of incarceration. 2. Identifying two VA programs addressing justice involved Veterans, which can be replicated in other settings. 3. Becoming familiar with services available to Veterans to address medical, mental health or social needs. 4. Identifying one way to promote a justice outreach or re-entry program within your organization.

8:00 – 8:30 Registration & Continental Breakfast

Plenary Speaker 8:45 – 10:00 Giggles & Guffaws: Laughter Medication for Self Care

What do you get when you blend properties of psychoneuroimmunology, gelotology, and meditation? A laughter-filled, evidenced based presentation to promote the practice of, not just the talking about, self-care. Social Work is hard; social workers get tired. Blending the 1.5 CEUs science with the silly promotes learning how laughter meditation can be a part of self-care. Audience members will be able to define and explore psychoneuroimmunology and gelotology as the science supporting laughter for well-being, identify properties of laughter meditation as a self-care tool, and practice a laughter meditation session for immediate application.

10:15 – 11:30 There are many challenges that face our military personnel when returning home from a military deployment, especially, if that deployment has been to a combat zone.

Increasing awareness of challenges returning military personnel face as individuals. Breakouts 2. Increasing awareness of relationship challenges facing returning military personnel and their family members may face. 3.
