• Sleeping Soundly and Sedative Free: The Clinical Mental Health Counselor’s Role in Treating Insomnia

  Description: According to the DSM-5, 1 out of every 3 Americans report symptoms of insomnia, and 40-50% of individuals with insomnia have a co- occurring mental disorder. The American College of Physicians recommends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) over pharmacological treatment because it is safer with a "better overall value," yet the single most common treatment for insomnia in the U.S. is prescription medication that is likely to create tolerance, withdrawal, and a number of aversive side effects. Something is terribly wrong with the status quo treatment for sleep disorders in this country, which often slaps a Band-Aid on a symptom while neglecting the core causes of sleep problems. Fortunately, with an increased emphasis on integrative care, opportunities for sleep disorders to be treated holistically through a biopsychosocial model are increasingly within our grasp. This presentation provides counselors with an overview of the DSM-5 sleep disorders with an emphasis on Insomnia Disorder, a summary of the research on psychosocial interventions vs. medication, and an overview of the CBT-I protocol. Finally, counselors who attend will be provided with a tool they can use for treatment planning with clients who suffer from sleep disorders.

  Description: Mentally ill or addicted patients that are also facing legal troubles need a multi-dimensional support system in order to have the best chance of success both inside and outside the courtroom. In my experience I’ve noticed that there is usually a lack of partnership and communication between attorney and mental health counselor/therapist that is often detrimental to both the patient and the court system. This presentation is focused on giving you an in-depth overview of how the criminal justice system works for defendants. It will focus on:

  ·         The arrest process
  ·         Getting a person into mental health/drug court
  ·         Mental health/drug court process
  ·         Additional/different requirements for this population that regular defendants don’t face
  ·         Complying with mental health/drug court
  ·         Pitfalls of these specialized courts
  ·         The discrepancy between what may be best for the patient vs. what is best for the judge, and how more education can help remedy that.
