    Assertive Community Treatment: A Paradigm Shift in Treating Severe Mental Illness

    John Puls, LCSW

    It is estimated that nearly 6.3% of the population nationally is suffering from severe mental illness (SMI), which equates to approximately 14.8 million people in the United States (NIHM). Severe mental illness is simply defined as someone with a moderate to severe psychiatric disorder, with significantly impaired social and occupational functioning, that requires long term care. SMI is often associated with individuals suffering from a psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform, delusional disorder, and substance induced psychotic disorder. Bipolar disorder, other mood disorders, and personality disorders can also be considered severe mental illnesses depending on the severity and the care required.  

    The vast majority of those suffering from SMI will never receive proper treatment due to the lack of available resources. As a result, many people living with SMI will end up incarcerated and have repeated involvement in the criminal justice system. This issue was exacerbated by the deinstitutionalization movement in the 1970's that sought to close down "asylums" and other long term psychiatric facilities with the intention of integrating people into the community. Regrettably, this community integration plan fell significantly short of the desired outcome. 

     Developed in the early 1970s, assertive community treatment (ACT) was developed to be the gold standard for working in the community with individuals with severe mental illness. ACT challenges the conventional model of patients going to inpatient facilities for an acute stabilization period and then being expected to attend outpatient care on their own. Alternatively, ACT seeks to bring treatment to patients in the community. Services include wrap around case management services, counseling, and medication management with psychiatric care. 

     Learning objectives:

    1 - Comprehend the history of treatment of clients with severe mental illness in the United States

    2 - A through understanding of the scope and frequency of severe mental illness 

    3 - Understanding the deinstitutionalization movement and the related consequences 

    4 - Develop an initial understanding of the assertive community treatment model and the benefits of using ACT with severe mental illness 

    5 - Understand the available resources for client's with severe mental illness 

     2.0 General CEU Hours

    Whose Story is it Anyway? Individual Development across Family Systems

    Rebecca Nelson, MA, LMHC, EMDR-C, QS and 

    Dr. Secquay Gordon, Ph.D., LMFT

    Stories from the family system of origin influences individual personalities and beliefs across the lifespan. If not examined, these transgenerational messages can interfere with developing a secure and true sense of self. In the counseling space, we often find that individuals hold these family messages as truths and as such live their lives and execute decisions according to this gospel. The need to live out this family narrative can compromise the individual’s happiness, esteem, and experience of satisfaction. This discussion seeks to examine how these messages are learned, how they may interfere, and how counselors can help to deconstruct and adapt this belief system to better fit individual life circumstances.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Explain how family systems shape individual personality, attachment style, and core beliefs

    2. Understand the function of defensive or manipulative behaviors as creative survival strategies to manage attachment and safety needs

    3. Understand how survival strategies within the family of origin manifest in adult relationships

    Safety Through Action: DBT Skills for Trauma-Based Disorders 

    Dr. Vassilia Binensztok, PhD, LMHC, NCC

    Symptoms of trauma-related disorders commonly include emotional dysregulation, negative self-image, hypervigilance, and social withdrawal.  These symptoms interfere with daily functioning and clients often long for actionable skills to manage symptoms.

Use of DBT skills like Radical Acceptance, Coping Ahead, and other emotional regulation skills will be demonstrated.

    The Pain of Trauma, the Trauma of Pain

    Bennet E. Davis, MD

    This intermediate presentation will provide a neuroscience informed overview of what pain is, from nociceptive pain to neuropathic pain, and to pain for psychological reasons. We’ll build on that foundation in a discussion of “How to talk to your patients about pain in a way that engages them in appropriate care." At the end of the session, we will take a step back from the addiction narrative, challenge the assumptions that underlie our current approach to the opioid crisis, and build on the first segment of the session to recast the opioid crisis as a trauma crisis, requiring somewhat different resources and a different approach

    Learning Objectives:

    • Explain how to distinguish pain for psychological reasons from nociceptive and neuropathic pain.
    • Discuss with patients the cause of their pain and how treatment flows from the cause, in a way that does not suggest “it’s in your head” but rather engages and empowers patients to participate in treatment.
    • Explain how to recognize and know what to do about high risk prescribing of opioids.

    Carolina Gaviria, LMHC, NCC, CEDS-S

    I’m a bilingual/Spanish licensed mental health counselor, a national certified counselor, a certified eating disorders specialist and ieadp approved supervisor as well as certified EMDR therapist. I am committed to helping and supporting children, teens, and adults find freedom and inner peace from their eating disorder, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

    I understand the concern about a loved one’s well-being when they are sad and anxious sometimes restricting, binging, and purging, or using drugs to self-medicate. I know how difficult it is for that person to just stop or change, especially when they don’t really know how. This is why I focus not only on the problem but also the solution teaching clients coping strategies and new ways of seeing the situation they are in. Depression and anxiety can create a cyclic pattern very difficult to break and eating disorders and addictions can become a very unhealthy coping mechanism to deal with inner pain.

    As the co-founder of Home for Balance Psychotherapy Group, LLC and the Food & Mood Institute, I strongly believe in full recovery and the power of family and teamwork. I have over 20 years of experience as a mental health counselor, and I currently practice in the Coconut Creek area and online via secure platform. In my private practice I hold sessions in both, English and Spanish, and offer flexible hours. I’m very approachable and provide a safe and comfortable environment for clients to be themselves, while fully exploring the concerns that bring them to counseling. I’m also aware that every individual is different and offer personalized services to help you achieve your goals.

    During the past 15 years I have specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders, addictions and trauma. I also sit at the board of the International Association for Eating Disorders Professionals South Florida Chapter (iaedp) and have presented at numerous conferences on the impact of eating disorders. I’m committed to support individuals and families affected by eating disorders, and serve as a catalyst for education, prevention, and access to quality care.

    Ara Mascarenas, M.S Counseling

    I am a dedicated pre-licensed mental health therapist with a master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University. I have a wealth of experience in diverse clinical settings, including schools, clinics, and outpatient services. My focus has been on addressing mental health concerns, fostering healthy development, promoting social-emotional learning, and enhancing executive functioning skills.

    Specializing in working with children aged 4 to 18, as well as young adults, I possess a deep understanding of the unique challenges and developmental needs that arise during these crucial stages of life. As a bilingual clinician fluent in both English and Spanish, I can effectively communicate and connect with clients from different cultural backgrounds, fostering a sense of comfort and understanding.

    My passion lies in working with children and adolescents facing a range of issues, including behavior challenges, navigating divorce, recovering from traumatic experiences, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I provide compassionate and tailored support to facilitate healing and growth.

    Additionally, I value community involvement and I sit on the board of the Mental Health Counselors Association of Palm Beach.
