• October 12 (REGISTER): In collaboration with Division 12, Drs. Lauren Rynar and Jonathan Kaplan will present “Clinical Practice of Psychosocial Oncology”
  • Drs. Lauren Rynar and Jonathan Kaplan will provide practical and evidence-based guidance on the identification of psychosocial needs and delivery of psychological and psychiatric interventions among patients with cancer. They will also address models of care and special considerations. Attendees should find the information useful for enhancing or initiating a Psychosocial Oncology practice in any type of treatment setting.
• November 2 (REGISTER): Dr. Aubrey R. Dueweke will present “Suicide Risk Assessment in Primary Care Settings”
  • Primary care is an important setting for improving identification and treatment of people at risk for suicide. Dr. Dueweke will outline evidence-based practice considerations for behavioral health consultants (BHCs) tasked with conducting suicide risk assessments and safety planning interventions in integrated primary care behavioral health (PCBH) settings. She will also discuss findings that highlight the importance of a nonjudgmental and direct approach to suicide risk assessment, a supportive therapeutic relationship, and a stepped care approach wherein suicide risk is managed in the least restrictive setting possible.
• December 7 (REGISTER): Dr. Ryan C. Warner will present “Supporting Black Men’s Mental Health Through a Culturally Responsive Approach”
  • It is well known that exposure to racism and discrimination are linked to various adverse mental health outcomes. For Black men, toxic masculinity, generational trauma, and mistrust of the healthcare system have been proven to serve as additional barriers that impact therapy retention and outcomes. Dr. Warner will provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed ways to address these challenges to boost wellness for Black men.
• January 11: Phil Duran and Dr. Katie Spencer will present. More details coming soon!
