Taco Twosday!
Who doesn’t like tacos? Come join us for delicious breakfast tacos and choose two trainings to attend while you are here! CIS-SA and Region 20 are offering the following training on March 5th!
Session 1:
1) Ethics for Counselors and Social Workers- We will review various ethical responsibilities for Licensed Social Workers and Counselors. We will discuss ethical issues, ethics, and the law as well as work with ethical case studies while running through the Ethical Decision-Making model. Facilitated by an LPC-S and LMSW
2) Digital Wellness: In today’s busy world, we rely on our phones to not only help us stay connected but to also help us manage our day-to-day responsibilities. Our smart phones can help us be more productive, but at the same time they can be counterintuitive. It can be very easy for us to get “lost” in the ever-growing platforms of the digital world. This session will increase our awareness to the current trends surrounding smart phone use and provide tools to help us learn how to be more mindful about our digital use. The tools and tips provided in this session will help participants create a digital wellness plan for themselves and possibly their loved ones, which can be used to find a healthy balance between technology in their personal and professional lives. Facilitator has a master’s in public health.
Session 2:
1) Sensory in the Sand- Participants will learn about emotional regulation and how to incorporate different sensory tools in assisting children with regulating their own feelings/emotions. Participants will also learn how to incorporate the use of sand and how sand can promote and aide in emotional regulation. Facilitator is trained as a Certified Clinical Sandtray Therapist.
2) Introduction to Restorative Circles- Participants will learn about repairing harm and restoring relationships through community building circles. Techniques and strategies learned will help with managing behavior and improve communication. Facilitators are trained in Tier 1 Restorative Practices and have experience implementing Restorative Practices in school-based and youth development program settings.
CEU’s are included.
