Gary U. Behrman, PhD, MSW, M.Div., LCSW is the Senior Clinician at CHADS Coalition for Mental Health and Assistant Adjunct Professor at Saint Louis University (SLU) for the past 25 years. He serves as a Gero-Ed Center Expert Trainer, with the Council Social Work Education and the Training Incentive Program (TIPS) with Boston University’s Institute for Geriatric Social Work. He also attended the Gerontology Summer Institute, with the National Institute of Health (NIH) at Syracuse. A SLU MSW graduate and former Associate Dean of Graduate Admissions, Dr. Behrman is also the former Board Chair of the Gateway End of Life Coalition which hosts its regional bi-monthly workshops and annual conference at SLU. His research and publications are in trauma recovery and the role of faith and spirituality in the aging process.

During this interactive workshop, participants will begin by distinguishing what is a value, ethic, and belief and demonstrate how to integrate a holistic approach to addressing end of life ethical conflicts through a spiritually sensitive lens. This learning experience will be applicable to all populations social workers serve, as every practice encounters “end of life issues” in the form of poverty, lack of access to resources, discrimination, and ageism.

Workshop objectives: By completing this workshop, participants will be able to: 1. Distinguish values, ethics, and beliefs when serving clients 2. Apply a holistic approach to ethical decision making 3. Create an ethical decision making model best suited for their practice

Race-The Power of an Illusion challenges our most fundamental beliefs: that humans come divided into a few distinct biological groups. The definitive three-part series is an eye-opening tale of how what we assume to be normal, common sense, even scientific, is actually shaped by our history, social institutions and cultural beliefs.
