This live workshop explores the profound and often overlooked traumatic stress experienced by children growing up in undocumented and mixed-status families in the era of mass deportation, surveillance, and heightened immigration enforcement.

Suicide Assessment, Treatment, and Management
The Washington State House passed the Matt Adler Suicide Assessment, Treatment, and Management Training Act of 2012 on February 10th, 2012. This act adds a new section to chapter 43.70 RCW and requires initial and ongoing training in suicide prevention for Chemical Dependency Professionals, Licensed Social Workers, and other professions. In the Surgeon General’s 2012 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention: Goals and Objectives for Action, she emphasized the importance of instituting “training for all health, mental health, substance abuse, and human services professionals concerning suicide risk assessment and recognition, treatment, management, and aftercare interventions.” This emphasis on training is a consistent theme throughout this report. Another theme is the importance of developing and promoting “effective clinical and professional practice.” This course is designed to help achieve these objectives. The text and material for this course were chosen because they are evidence-based and nationally recognized. The course will review Motivational and Targeted Case Management. Any additional course material will be chosen using the same high standards of “evidence-based”, “emerging practice”, or “best practice”.

Adults who have experienced traumatic events as children can present with a myriad of complex symptoms and dysfunctional lifestyles later in life.

This interactive workshop will assist attendees with understanding how trauma from ACE’s “shows up” in adulthood, will inform attendees of the long-term effects of ACE’s, and will identify ways adults can build long-term resiliency.

- Beyond Compassion Fatigue: Practical Strategies for Supervisors Managing Secondary Traumatic Stress
Beyond Compassion Fatigue: Practical Strategies for Supervisors Managing Secondary Traumatic Stress
This workshop examines the pervasive yet frequently overlooked challenge of secondary traumatic stress (STS) among clinical social work supervisors, emphasizing strategies for personal prevention and management. Supervisors often experience cumulative exposure to trauma through their supervisees, heightening their own risk for emotional depletion, reduced empathy, and burnout. This session will provide an evidence-informed framework for recognizing early indicators of STS and implementing individualized approaches to mitigate its impact. Through exploration of reflective practice, boundary setting, emotional regulation, and sustainable self-care, participants will develop tools to strengthen personal resilience and professional longevity. The workshop underscores that tending to one’s own well-being is not only an ethical responsibility but also foundational to effective leadership and the maintenance of high standards in trauma-informed clinical supervision.
