"Compassion Fatigue During A Pandemic”
Nyoki Cosey-Brown, LCSW-BACS:The impact of COVID 19 has intensified the service delivery, crisis response, stress accumulation, and exposure to traumatic events as we confront the everyday challenges in our professional work. It is essential that we learn the correlation between our professional, external, and interpersonal stressors that place us at a higher risk to experience adverse reactions to our secondary trauma experiences. This presentation will identify the distress responses, warning signs, deficiencies in self-care, and struggles in work-life balance that lead to the incessant occurrence of compassion fatigue during the time of a pandemic.
"Addiction, Pornography, and the Teen Brain"
Kristen Cassidy, MA, LPC-S, NCC, CEAP
Presenter will discuss the teen brain and how it is affected by addiction, especially pornography. The audience will learn why teens use pornography, how it affects their development, and how the teen brain differs from the adult brain in terms of learning, memories, and exposure to pornography and other addictive substances.
"Trauma and the Brain"
Britney H. Smith, LPC, Haylee Middleton, and Sylver Malta, LPC-S, NCC
In this training, we will take a deep dive into childhood trauma and its effect on the brain. We will complete hands on activities to “build a brain” and see first-hand how life experiences play a crucial role in brain development. We will also explore the ways healing from trauma can happen and how that healing can form new neural pathways in the brain.
