Self-Regulation Strategies & Cognitive Neuroscience: Methods of Managing Myself
with Becky Miller, MEd, PsyS
8:30am-12:00pm (registration starts at 8:00am)
Self-Regulation is the core emotional intelligence capacity that we all call upon in our daily lives in any situation that causes discomfort. These conscious or unconscious mechanisms reduce our level of distress and pain and re-establish our equilibrium. The first half of this hands-on session is exploring the cognitive neuroscience of how we self-regulate. Yes, teaching adults about their brains! A fundamental human capacity is the ability to regulate & control our thoughts & behavior. Recent developments in neuroscience have increased our understanding of the neural underpinnings of self-regulation. The second half of the workshop will include a case study look at factors that impact one’s ability to consciously choose self-soothing positive strategies We will explore how adults temper their distress in a variety of ways every day. For most of us, this means we own a bag full of strategies, which include a mix of desirable and undesirable responses that help or hurt us. We will explore the conscious choices that are available when we are present in the NOW moment, separating ourselves from the power of our past. Additional resources will be provided for individual program use.

Sexual Boundaries & Ethics Violations
with Eric Martin, MAC, CADC III, PRC, CPS
Purpose:
This three hour training is presented by Eric Martin, Director of Compliance with the Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO). MHACBO certifies all of Oregon's unlicensed behavioral health workers. Eric manages Code of Conduct complaints and investigations of Oregon's 10,000+ behavioral health workers. Approximately, 1/3rd of all complaints involve sex, sexuality, romance, or sexualized communications. Moreover, as a result of changes in the MHACBO Code of Ethics and Oregon "vulnerable population" regulations, a greater number of individuals are being revoked as a result of sexual/sexualized boundary violations. This training will review data from MHACBO Ethics cases, and will discuss prevention strategies.
