"Integreating Occupational Therapy into your Counseling Practice".
Presentation by Leora Salo, OTR/MOT , Occupational Therapist.
Occupational therapists use scientific principles to determine areas of function/dysfunction when designing strategies for intervention. In mental health, OT's typically treat in groups, from a diverse palette of group types. Occupational Therapy is an asset in change implementation, as OT groups offer clients opportunity to practice and integrate new skills. With approaching guidelines that make occupational therapists a reimbursable provider of mental health services, the potential to enrich client services within a practice grows exponentially. This workshops will present an overall view as to how occupational therapy may contribute to services in a holistic practice.

Adaptive Strategies Rising from Existential Trauma
presented by James Hollis, Ph.D. Director Emeritus, Jung Education Center of Houston, TX.
Each human is subject to twin threats to survival and well-being: overwhelmment and abandonment. From these core experiences, common to us all in varying degrees, a rich range of adaptive strategies evolve, many of which become life-long patterns. This program will detail with the anatomy of such adaptations, and include comments on the ethical risks to which therapists are subject as they experience these adaptive patterns in their own lives as well.
