PREPARING FOR THE UNTHINKABLE: MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER ROLES IN DISASTER RECOVERY - 6 CE's
DATE/LOCATION:
Saturday, May 19, 2018 8:00 am - 4:00 pm
Lunch Provided
Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego Francis E. West Auditorium 4077 Fifth Ave. San Diego, California 92103 Website/Directions WORKSHOP AGENDA
What if...a disaster such as a major earthquake or wild fire or terrorist attack occurs in San Diego? What will you do? The question is not what if...but rather when it occurs...will you be ready? As a mental health provider your instinct will be to provide comfort and service to those confused and in emotional pain. But, will you know how you fit into the emergency response system? The first responders, the police, fire fighters, and medical personnel know what to do. They have procedures and have been trained for such disasters. Do you, a second responder, know your role in the response and recovery process and do you have the training needed to help heal our community, our patients, and ourselves if disaster occurs?
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
During this day-long conference attendees will learn from leaders in the field of disaster response and recovery the best practices in assisting a community, patients, and themselves to cope with the unthinkable. This course will cover the lessons that have been learned pertaining to such areas as in the immediate aftermath, identifying and responding to the particular needs of children and families, the relationship between response techniques and the type of disaster, the rapid identification and intervention of survivors, and the integration of mental health providers in the bigger emergency response system.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
This workshop will help attendees to:
identify how best to prepare in advance at home and in your office for a possible disaster.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is the leading approach to helping couples both resolve relationship distress and nurture effective interpersonal functioning and strong, lasting bonds. Feelings are often hidden, unexpressed or misunderstood. In EFT, we help couples learn how to deal with their feelings together, reach towards each other, and be responsive in more loving and positive ways.The format involves informative lectures sprinkled with videos, which include watching couples learning the same methods that we are covering in the workshop. There is time to do exercises in private with your partner drawn from EFT. We teach couples how to move out of isolation and frustration towards security, emotional safety, and long lasting relationship satisfaction. Research shows that 7 out of 10 couples that go through EFT move from marital distress to marital satisfaction.
