  Description: Loneliness and social isolation were listed as a behavioral epidemic before the COVID-19 pandemic. The situation has worsened dramatically with lockdowns and governmental restrictions imposed to contain the spread of the disease. Eighty percent of the adult population in the United States report loneliness as a major factor at times in their life. As loneliness builds, it can lead to low self-worth, inadequacies, negative emotions of resentment, bitterness, guilt, shame, interpersonal conflicts, job loss, poverty, weakened health or mental distress. There are three types of loneliness common to humans: developmental loneliness, internal loneliness, and situational loneliness. Each of these types affect people differently based on age, developmental stage, support system, and access to mental health care. All three are negatively affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Loss of traditional gatherings along with working from home leave many people feeling socially disconnected. The loss of time with friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors is creating a new type of mental health challenge – Complicated COVID Loneliness. Consider research from the National Institute of Mental Health, (NIMH), Health Resources and Service Administration, (HRSA) and the U.S. Census Bureau to understand how significantly loneliness has become a challenge to public health. - Loneliness and social isolation can be as damaging to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day - Social isolation was associated with a 50% percent increased risk of dementia - Two in five Americans report they feel their social relationships are not meaningful, and one in five say they feel lonely or socially isolated - Over 25 % of the U.S. population and 28 % of older adults now live alone - Aging adults who are socially isolated are at a higher risk for depression - $6.7 billion in annual federal spending is attributable to social isolation among older adults - Poor social relationships were associated with a 29% increase in risk of coronary heart disease and a 32% rise in the risk of stroke - Social isolation significantly increases a person’s risk of premature death from all causes. A risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity - Loneliness was associated with higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide Untreated loneliness can lead to serious physical and psychological health consequences. It is essential for clinicians to identify the challenges associated with social isolation and pandemic related complicated loneliness to prevent mental health or behavioral health problems during the pandemic and post-pandemic years.

  Description: There has been an increase in the topic of mental health in the news, in schools and on social media, however it seems there is still a limited understanding of the differences between mental health and mental illness. In schools, students are labeled by their diagnosis if they have one or they are punished for their behavior without determining the cause. Many educators have the belief that counseling or therapy is a “quick fix” for students. Some are reluctant to admit they actually need support themselves. This session will include various scenarios which create a clearer picture of the needs within the schools.

  Description: As mental health practitioners, we all have a role to play in promoting positive childhood experiences and resilience in our clients. This presentation will support you work with your clients more effectively by understanding the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Toxic stress is a result of chronic activation of a physiologic response to stressors when there is no buffering protection or support. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) affect psychological functioning based on early learning of coping strategies. The ACE studies and subsequent related research have been groundbreaking and have quantified the physiological effects of stress and suffering. The impact of toxic stress on child development, brain responses to stress, and individual and family functioning results in maladaptive psychological and physical functioning. Resilience is the ability to thrive, adapt and cope despite tough and stressful times and is a natural counter-balance to ACEs. The more resilient children and adults can become, the more likely they are able to manage negative situations in healthy and adaptive ways that won’t result in prolonged and unfavorable outcomes. As mental health practitioners, we all have a role to play in promoting the resilience of our clients. Learn how to do so more effectively in this presentation.
