Description

Sandstone Care is excited to return to in-person continuing professional development training at Sandstone Care, Colorado Springs! Program Overview: In this field we hear about how self-harming behaviors coincide with suicidal ideations and how often times those behaviors can be a precursor to suicidal behavior/gestures. What about those times when self-harm is not a precursor and is maladaptive coping? Join us as we review the differences between the two and reflect on clinician and family biases surrounding this controversial topic. Learning Objectives: Learning to appropriately assess for higher levels of care (when is IOP, PHP, or Inpatient appropriate?)-review the SAFE-T protocolDifferent ways to support family members when self-harm is occurringLearning how to respond rather than react when self-harm is occurring with your client-how to lean in/support?This training is eligible for 2.0 Continuing Professional Development Units through DORA Complimentary continental breakfast will be served Agenda: 8am-8:30am Networking & Continental Breakfast 8:30am-10:30am Presentation Presenter Bio: Natana Reason, MA, LPC, Director of Sandstone Care Colorado Springs Outpatient Center: "While I am not technically a Colorado native, Colorado is definitely my home. I grew up in Boulder, CO. and got a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado. From there I decided to pursue my Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling and am currently working on my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Psychology and counseling have always been of interest to me, specifically linking how the brain and body impact emotions and vice versa, which is a huge reason why I do really love the DBT modality. I currently have my LPC and have a history of working both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked with all age groups from adolescents to geriatrics, chemical dependency clients, family sessions, group and individual, and have been the Director of PHP/IOP."
