If I only had a framework — Building transformative systems of support: During this session, the facilitator will describe the value of engaging in an intentional journey to create equitable and inclusive learning environments. Positive behavior intervention and supports (PBIS), steeped in the concept of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), is a framework centered in prevention and the development of healthy school climates.

Healing The Healers: Addressing Secondary Trauma With Self-Care: This workshop is designed to address the heightened level of stress faced by school psychologists. We will look at the causes of these stressors including the unique convergence of a pandemic and other extraordinary environmental factors, including a worsening mental health crisis. It is likely that such stressors result in school psychologist experiencing secondary trauma, burnout and possibly mental health challenges.

Providing psychological services to children and adolescents is more complex than knowing and applying techniques or strategies to an individual case. This is especially true when improving mental health and wellness in a school setting. The key for school-based clinicians in providing high-quality, evidence-based services is knowing when, for whom, and at what times to apply specific interventions or approaches. This workshop will help clinicians identify strategic aspects of a brief-care model using cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). This model will explain how to use evaluation and test data to look beyond diagnosis to formulate a case conceptualization that drives evidence-based interventions. The presenter will review specific interventions from a transdiagnostic treatment approach and discuss how to enhance buy-in through the use of metaphor, pop culture, sports, superheroes, and improv. Participants will be able to discuss and actively work through case examples and practice strategies.
