SUMMARY:Suicide Loss as a Crisis of Meaning:  Implications for Grief Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Robert A. Neimeyer\, PhD \nDate and Time: September 4th from 10-11:30AM PT/11AM-12:30PM MT/12pm-1:30pm CT/1pm-2:30pm ET  \nResearch suggests that much of the complicated and prolonged grief that frequently follows bereavement by suicide is mediated by its assault on the survivor’s world of meaning\, and the attendant struggle to make sense of (a) the relationship to the deceased\, (b) the death itself\, and (c) the survivor’s own identity in its aftermath.  Viewing this struggle through the lens of the Tripartite Model of Meaning Reconstruction in Loss\, we will first consider common obstacles to integrating such loss adaptively within survivors’ meaning systems\, and the implications this carries for the construction of the therapeutic relationship as well as specific interventions to address each impasse.  Paradoxically\, however\, the same effort after meaning can be a catalyst for posttraumatic growth\, which studies suggest is facilitated by identifiable psychological and social conditions.  Illustrating these concepts with brief client videos\, we conclude with general guidelines for conducting therapy with this traumatically bereaved population. \nLearning Objectives \n\nSummarize evidence that meaning making mediates the impact of traumatic loss on bereaved survivors\nDiscuss three narrative obstacles to meaning making in suicide loss\, noting relevant signs and symptoms that serve as markers directing subsequent therapy to the client’s implicit needs\nList three therapeutic procedures that promote reaffirmation or reconstruction of client meanings and the character of the therapeutic relationship required for their safe administration with suicide loss survivors\n\n Please register here. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Preventing Firearm Injuries in Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Chana A. Sacks\, MD\, MPH \nDate and Time: October 2nd from 10-11:30AM PT / 11AM-12:30PM MT / 12-1:30PM CT / 1-2:30PM ET \nAcross the US\, the rate of death from suicide is highest among older adults\, and 70% of these deaths are due to firearms. While interdependent factors drive suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among older adults including depression\, cognitive impairment and dementia\, medical co-morbidity\, and isolation\, whether a suicide attempt results in death is largely determined by the utilized means. Intentional overdoses are fatal in 2% of cases\, compared with firearms\, which are fatal 90% of the time. Therefore\, suicide prevention efforts specifically for older adults require a focus on firearm access and safety\, necessitating that clinicians who care for older adults are equipped with the skills needed to have accurate and culturally competent conversations with patients and families. This session will review the context related to firearm suicide among older adults and focus on concrete clinical skills to improve care for this population.  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain the scope and impact of firearm-related injuries among older adults. \n\n\nDevelop a clinical framework to recognize older adult patients who may be at risk of firearm-related injuries. \n\n\nRecognize specific steps clinicians can take to mitigate the risk of firearm injuries among older adults.  \n\n Please register here. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Impact of Climate Change on Aging: Finding a Way Forward
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lisa Brown\, PhD\, ABPP \nDate and Time: April 2nd from 10-11:30AM PT / 11AM-12:30PM MT / 12-1:30PM CT / 1-2:30PM ET \nThe looming threat of an unstable climate and uncertain future can contribute to a sense of existential dread and cause anxiety\, depression\, and feelings of helplessness about the future. Currently\, it is estimated that more than 58 million Americans are aged 65 years and older and that this number will continue to grow steadily to 83 million people by 2050. By recognizing the mental health implications of climate change on older adults and actively engaging in efforts to address these challenges\, mental health clinicians can significantly contribute to promoting mental health resilience in the face of environmental crises. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Identify the mental health effects of climate change on older adults. \n2. Describe the relationship between the environment and mental and physical health. \n3. Explain the role clinicians can take to address adverse mental health concerns and facilitate climate mental health resiliency. \nPlease register here. \n  \n  \n
