Karen Winters Schwartz was born and raised in Mansfield, Ohio. She wrote her first truly good story at age seven. Her second-grade teacher, Mrs. Schneider, publicly and falsely accused her of plagiarism. She did not write again for forty years. In-between, she moved to Columbus, Ohio, where she spent thirteen years of her life pursuing a seemingly endless education at Ohio State University. She received her undergraduate degree in microbiology, her Master of Science in Immunology, and a Doctorate in Optometry. Winters Schwartz met her future husband, Paul, at a student optometric conference in Chicago. They were both slightly drunk and it was love at first sight. They married in 1987, moved to Central New York, and bought a house on the shores of Otisco Lake — the “pinky finger” of the Finger Lakes. There they began their lives together, their careers as optometrists, and raised two daughters, who are off to change the world — hopefully in a good way. Winters Schwartz is an active board member of NAMI Syracuse (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and an advocate for mental illness awareness. This is her second novel and follow-up to her widely successful debut, Where Are the Cocoa Puffs?.

Author and advocate Karen Winters Schwartz will discuss the derailment of her family by mental illness, as well as what moved her to write novels that humanize—dispelling the myth that mentally ill people are at their best difficult to love, and at their worst demons or monsters.

Isolated in her grief, crippled by ignorance, and confounded by the lack of support, Karen stood helplessly by and watched as both her daughters struggled.

[6] Mental illness may begin with the individual, but it ultimately affects families, friends, peers, and entire communities. These effects are partly due to stigma which stems from fear. Karen will share her thoughts on smoothing the road to recovery by working together as a family, decreasing stigma, increasing education, receiving the community and professional support necessary, and the critical need for an integrated and streamlined referral system.

Through literature, she hopes to educate while entertaining, elicit empathy while telling a great story, and advocate by reaching those who just don’t “get it.” Break Out Workshops 10:15-11:30

Workshop #1: Recovery from a Family Member Point of View. Karen Schwartz This workshop will include the direct perspective of a mother who lived in isolation while she stood helplessly by as both her daughters struggled as adolescents. Karen will share what she and her family endured while attempting to get help for her daughters. Crippled by an inadequate referral system and lack of support, the journey with her daughters was unnecessarily...and heartbreakingly... more difficult. But there is hope. Life is a process best not taken on alone. Those struggling and their families need support not only from the mental health care system, but from friends and family. Support is out there and starts by asking for it. Workshop objectives: 1) Learn steps toward acceptance and self advocacy. 2) Learn why and how to share your stories. 3) Community support is there; just be brave and ask.

Valle Grande I

Workshop #2: The Three A’s of a Successful Agency: Accountability, Accessibility, and Affordability. David Bucciferro, BS, CPRP. A funder walks into your agency to see how her dollars are being spent. Her evaluation depends on how these three words apply to your agency: Accountability—how efficiently your staff is serving people in need; Accessibility—how easily you can report on what your funder wants to know; and ultimately, Affordability—how you demonstrate that you’re making the best use of your funding. Your method of documentation is the key to getting an “A” on your audit. This session offers specific strategies for using technology and metrics to help agencies operate more efficiently and economically while improving their quality of care. Electronic documentation is becoming critical to any agency’s survival, but a common fear of administrators is that the transition required would take time away from clients. On the contrary, an electronic record would provide transparency on multiple levels, creating more time for clients and enhancing the value of the agency to funders. Drawing on decades of experience facilitating successful implementations, the panel can speak from the perspective of legislators, direct care providers, administrators, and other stakeholders to share what works and doesn't work.

Workshop #7: “Introduction to the Nurtured Heart Approach.” Danielle Cossett, LISW. The Nurtured Heart Approach™ (NHA) is for all parents and children. Children need to be stronger on the inside now more than ever before. NHA is a relational method which awakens Greatness and inspires successful behavior in children and adolescents. It has become a powerful way of bringing “Inner Wealth” to all children while facilitating parenting and classroom success. As a result, parenting becomes transformational. The essence of the Approach is a simple set of core methodologies originally developed for working with behaviorally challenged children to empower them to channel their intensity in productive ways. Adults using NHA can transform and support any child or adolescent through the awareness that their intensity is actually the source of the Greatness. The Nurtured Heart Approach is a lifestyle choice to transform the whole family.

Following completion of a Pre-Doctoral Internship at the Denver VA Medical Center Eastern Colorado Health Services Center, and a Post Doctoral Fellowship at the Denver VA Medical Center Mental Illness, Research, Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC), Dr. Bahraini became a licensed Psychologist in the state of Colorado. Dr. Bahraini joined the VISN 19 MIRECC team as a full Research, Clinical Psychologist in 2010. Her many contributions encompass: investigatory research (Principal Investigator and Co-PI for multiple projects), consulting (expert input for mental health and medical providers on Veteran’s issues), and assessment (psychological and neuropsychological screening for a diverse Veteran population). Additionally, Dr. Bahraini supplies training opportunities for new professionals, such as clinical supervision and other activities facilitating growth of Post Doctoral Fellows, Psychology interns, etc. She is equally active in other educational activities that provide tools for Veterans, family members, and the community, through dissemination and implementation of educational products, presentations, and workshops.

Areas of specialty are: Traumatic brain injury, posttraumatic stress disorder and other co-morbid psychiatric conditions that affect outcomes for returning Veterans. Specific research includes investigation on the effects of TBI and history of suicidal behavior on executive functioning, and an examination of cognitive processes that contribute to suicidality in OEF/OIF combat Veterans with PTSD. Dr. Bahraini has presented regionally as well as nationally on these and other topics, for

[13] 14 prestigious events such as the National Mental Health Conference, American Association of Suicidology, and the American Psychiatric Association.

Workshop Breakouts 10:15 – 11:30

Workshop #13: "Self Directed Violence Scoring Scale". Nazanin H. Bahraini, PhD To date, efforts to intervene and reduce Veteran suicide and self-directed violence have been impeded by a lack of a common, shared language for defining suicidal thoughts, behaviors and other self-directed violence. In April 2010, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) adopted the Self-Directed Violence Classification System (SDVCS), a set of standardized terms and definitions for researchers as well as clinicians. Following the workshop illustrating this self-directed violence nomenclature, attendees will achieve the following objectives: 1) becoming familiarized with VHA-adopted SDVCS nomenclature; 2) understand key definition of “intent;” and 3) gain ability to apply SDVCS nomenclature to clinical scenarios.

Workshop #14: Mindfulness. Deirdre Q. Anderson, LISW Mindfulness is a term we are hearing more and more in our society, but what exactly is it? This workshop will introduce participants to the definition, qualities, and benefits of Mindfulness practice. In addition, a variety of experiential exercises will be used to demonstrate mindfulness.

Double Trouble in Recovery (DTR) is a 12-Step self-help group designed to meet the special needs of those diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder and substance abuse problem. DTR differs from traditional 12-Step support groups as it offers a safe and supportive environment to discuss psychiatric disorders, medications, and substance abuse.

Workshop #16: Co-Occurring from a Recovery Person’s View. Susy K. Ashcroft, MA, LPCC, LADA. Co-Occurring Disorder is a complicated disorder that is not widely understood by the people it affects. This workshop will explain the diagnosis and how it works in individual’s lives and what they can do about it. It will be taught in a common-sense lived experience, attempting to recover from Co-occurring style, very down to earth. Starting from what it’s symptoms are and how those become confused as malingering or relapse, how the disorder came into being and how self-knowledge and education can be the biggest assets you have to recover from it and stay stable in recovery. We will discuss the stigma, the theory modalities, pros and cons and empowerment. It will end in a positive and hopefully an empowering note.

Workshop #17: Mental Health Care Treatment Decisions Act and Usage. Miguel Chavez, MSW, Senior Advocate and Robin Connell, BS, Advocate. The purpose of the presentation is to provide consumers/participants information on the statute of the Mental Health Care Decisions Act and how it can be used to preserve a consumer’s wishes relating to mental health treatment.

An overview will be given of the Mental Health Treatment Center in Los Lunas CNMCF where the “sickest of the sick” (Mental Health) are sent when they are acute and how individual and group therapy is used as part of the recovery process for men who are incarcerated. How my experience with PSR and psycho-educational classes have helped that recovery process and brought insight to see past the crime and into the vulnerability of men who are suffering.

Workshop #21: “Trauma informed care for veterans” Lora Smalley, LMFT. Most programs have worked to educate their employees on ‘trauma informed care’ but what does this mean when working with a veteran or a service member? What are some basic things that you or your agency can do that will help reduce their stress and increase a veteran/service member’s comfort for services and their success fates? Important information about military culture, the impact of combat on this population and ways to adapt your group or program to better meet their needs will be gone over in this workshop.

Workshop #23: “Evidenced-based Trauma Treatments” Lora Smalley, LMFT. There is a lot of press about PTSD and trauma informed care, but what is this? This workshop will cover what is trauma and PTSD, why some appear to recover naturally, and for those who don’t, what are the best treatment options for them. The top evidence based treatment models will be reviewed and discussed not just for those use in PSR, but other treatment options to help educate clients who might need a more focused treatment option beyond the PSR group.
