8:15-8:30 a.m. – Introductions: Dr.'s Shelly Smith-Acuña & Kim Gorgens (Theatre)
8:30-9:30 a.m. – Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD/TBI with Dr. Kathleen M. Chard (Theatre)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a time-limited, predominantly cognitive therapy for PTSD developed by Drs. Patricia Resick, Candice Monson and Kathleen Chard. CPT has been established to be efficacious in a series of randomized clinical trials, and consequently has been recommended as a first-line treatment for PTSD in various treatment guidelines. This workshop will provide an overview of the assessment and treatment of PTSD using CPT. The presentation will provide mental health clinicians with a background on the data that supports its efficacy, a brief overview of the theory that underlies CPT, a review of the 12-session protocol and a discussion on when to use the various forms of CPT, including with patients who have a history of TBI.

1:00-2:00 p.m. – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for TBI with Dr. Theodore Tsaousides (Main lobby tables)
Reduced awareness and increased emotional and behavioral dysregulation are hallmark impairments following traumatic brain injury. Emotional Regulation is a cognitive-behavioral intervention designed to increase awareness of the nature and impact of emotional reactions on cognition and behavior, and to promote skill-development to improve emotional control and to engender appropriate behavioral responses. Emotional Regulation consists of two components: a brief didactic component, during which participants learn more about emotional functioning and disruptions caused by brain injury, and a skill-training component that involves learning a structured method to increase awareness and prevent disruptive behaviors. Emotional Regulation can be delivered individually or in groups, could be a stand-alone treatment or embedded in a comprehensive treatment program, and could be focused on a specific emotional or behavioral problem (e.g., depression, agitation) or could be used broadly as an intervention to improve self-regulation.

Training Objectives:
1.Understand the theoretical foundation of the Emotional Regulation intervention for individuals with brain injury
2.Learn to deliver the Emotional Regulation intervention through didactics and hands-on participation
3.Identify the cognitive, emotional, and personality barriers and facilitators of skill-building
4.Discuss the implications of combining Emotional Regulation and Problem Solving

One contact hour of educational activity equates to 1 hour of CE credit and fractions of an hour will not be counted when calculating the number of CE's earned. There are no exceptions to this standard, to ensure that all "emergencies" are treated the same way.
While the GSPP CE program understands that emergencies cannot be avoided, we have adopted the following policy for CE attendance. The conference times are listed on your registration form. Please do not register for a conference if you are unable to arrive on time or stay until the end.
1. Attendees who arrive more than 15 minutes after morning registration closes will lose one (1) full hour of continuing education.
2. Attendees who arrive more than 60 minutes late will lose two (2) full hours of continuing education and so on.
3. Attendees who need to leave before the close of the conference are asked to leave during the afternoon break to minimize distractions during the conference. They will lose the remaining hours of continuing education.
4. If planning to leave early, please speak to the staff at the registration desk when you arrive. This will allow for the adjusted CEU certificate to be ready at the afternoon break.
5. At the completion of the conference, attendees will receive their certificate of attendance directly from a member of the Conference Committee. If you are not in attendance to pick up your certificate, it will be mailed to you. You will lose two (2) full hours of continuing education credit.
6. Conference content is intended for professional development purposes. Children cannot be accommodated.
7. If special accommodations are required, please indicate that when registering.
