Summer Institute 2006 Mark your calendars for the 35th DSAMH Summer Institute to be held at the University of Delaware July 24 through 28, 2006! The Summer Institute will feature five 1-day cognitive-behavioral workshops, each with application to a specific population, including children, geriatrics, depression, personality disorders, and co-occurring conditions. Also featured will be a 3-day workshop on the developmental effects of trauma; a 2-day workshop on Asperger's syndrome; and a 5-day workshop on the 12 core functions of substance abuse counseling, which will prepare substance abuse counselors for the certification exam. These are just a few of the many exciting workshops being planned for this year's Summer Institute! 2005 Year End Report We are pleased to offer the following statistical summary of DSAMH Training Office activity for this past year. Total Number of Workshops Held 167 Total Number of Training Hours 1,139 Total Number of Participants Attended 2,868 Total Number of Organizations Represented 316 2 From the DSAMH Training Office Workforce Development is Everyone’s Business! There is no question that employee education is critical to each organization’s success. In 2005, the American Society for Training and Development conducted a national poll and determined that 84 percent of respondents indicated that there is a skills gap within their organizations now or it is coming within one year. Sixty-seven percent of respondents said that the gap is due to changing job requirements and new skills needed as their organizations change. Learning can have a significant impact on business outcomes related to this gap and change including client outcome, revenue, productivity, turnover, and innovation. This catalog describes the schedule of workshops that we have developed, thus far, for 2006 and early 2007 and more will be forthcoming! The opportunity is here for you to address skill gaps, changes in job requirements, and changing organizations within behavioral health- care. Within these pages you will find opportunities for continuing education, in-service workshop topics, the food for thought and wellness series, additional resources, computer training, and much more! We continue to emphasize outcome for learners in our “Workforce Development Learner Environment” and we want to elicit your partnership toward a mutual success. The training office challenges you to work with us by considering the following: 1. Pre-determine how you, or your employee, plan to behave differently as a result of participation in each workshop attended. 2. Determine what evidence will be used to know that the behavioral objective has been achieved. 3. Identify what additional things need to occur for the learner to be considered competent. As your partner, the Training Office will continue to manage in terms of outcome objectives by doing the following: • Work with faculty on instructional design • Provide individual workshop objectives • Encourage learner participation • Emphasize the benefit of emphasis on outcomes to organizational practice and, in turn, to our consumers and clients Thank you for your continued confidence in us. As always, call or write anytime you have a question, suggestion, or comment. We welcome your feedback. 3 Calendar of Workshops/Programs FEBRUARY 2006 PAGE 21 Prescribing Practices with the Elderly Population DPC, Springer 1 & 2 16 MARCH 2006 6-7 Introduction to BHC DPC, Springer 1 & 2 16 9 Problem Gambling I CSB, 9th Floor 17 10 Problem Gambling I Hampton Inn 17 13 CPR/AED WSSC, 1st Floor 45 15 Developing and Leading Social Skills Groups DPC, Springer 1 & 2 17 15 CPR/AED DPC, Springer Lobby 45 18 Foundations of Disaster Mental Health ARC/Milford 33 21 OCD K/S Detox 18 21 Clinical Management of HIV DPC, Springer 1 & 2 31 22 CPR/AED DPC, Springer Lobby 45 22-24 Keeping It Real 2006 Conference Clayton Hall, Univ. of DE 74 24 Establishing Productive Relationships Holloway's Hideaway 46 24 Foundations of Disaster Mental Health DPC, Springer 1 & 2 33 27 Weight Management: Balancing Food and Activity GSSC, 2nd Floor 53 28 Introduction to Word WPB 42 28 Healthy Body Weight/Body Composition GSSC, 2nd Floor 53 29 Introduction to NIMS/ICS DPC, Springer 1 & 2 33 29 CPR/AED DPC, Springer Lobby 45 30 Investigating Abuse in Non-Residential MSSC, Annex 50 30 Navigating the New Medicare Prescription Plan SSSC 50 APRIL 2006 3 Weight Management: Balancing Food and Activity Holloway's Hideaway 53 3-June 5 Cognitive Behavior Therapy DPC, Springer 3 18 4 Ethics, Dual Relationships, and Confidentiality KCC 29 4 Healthy Body Weight/Body Composition Holloway's Hideaway 53 5 De-Escalation with the Emotional Client DPC, Springer 3 19 5 CPR/AED DPC, Springer Lobby 45 6 Addiction Medicine DPC, Springer 1 & 2 19 6-7 Introduction to BHC DPC, Springer 3 16 7, May 12 Smoking: The Emotional and Physical Dependency DPC, Springer 1 & 2 8 10 Promoting Family Safety DPC, Springer 1 & 2 34 11 OCD Carroll's Plaza, D & E 18 11 LOCUS DPC, Springer 1 & 2 8 12 HIPAA Security MSSC, Annex 51 12 HIV, STDs, and Hepatitis C DPC, Springer 3 31 12 Developing and Leading Social Skills Groups WSSC, 1st Floor 17 12 CPR/AED DPC, Springer Lobby 45 13 Navigating the New Medicare Prescription Plan DPC, Springer 3 50 13 Motivational Incentives DPC, Springer 1 & 2 20 18 Grand Rounds DPC, Springer 1 & 2 74 18-19 Motivational Interviewing DPC, Springer 3 20 19 HIV Update K/S Detox 32 19 CPR/AED DPC, Springer Lobby 45 20 Conflict Resolution KCC 47 20 Cultural Diversity CSB, 9th Floor 9 21 Conflict Resolution DPC, Springer 3 47 21 Cultural Diversity Hampton Inn 9 21 Humor in the Workplace Holloway's Hideaway 46 24 Introduction to Excel WPB 42 24 Nutrition, Food Labels, and Portion Sizes DPC, Springer 3 9 25 OCD DPC, Springer 1 & 2 18 26 PM 46 DPC, Springer 3 51 26 DE Licensure Standards K/S Detox 52 26 CPR/AED DPC, Springer Lobby 45 27 Navigating the New Medicare Prescription Plan WSSC, 2nd Floor 50 27 So..You've Got to Work with Whom?
