2 Crisis Worker s Society 30 th Annual Conference 2014 Day One- Wednesday, June 11 th 8:30 am Conference Opening & Welcome 9:00-10:30- Keynote Speaker Dr. Shea Suicide Prevention in a New Light: Matrix Treatment Planning and the Quest for Happiness Dr. Shea tracks down the answers to two elusive and controversial questions: What is the nature of happiness? What is the nature of human nature itself? He then demonstrates, with specific clinical examples, how the answers to these philosophical questions can be powerfully applied - a model called "matrix treatment planning" - to transform the types of stalled treatment plans that may lead to suicide. In addition he provides a remarkably fresh definition of happiness, which has numerous ramifications for problem solving, transforming difficult times, suicide prevention, and finding hope, while providing a surprisingly refreshing antidote to clinician "burn-out" as both client and clinician undertake their respective quests for happiness. 11:00-12:30- Morning Breakout Session Understanding the People beneath the Personality Diagnosis By Dr. Shea Therapeutic Drumming By Amie Latta 1:30-3:00 - Keynote Speaker #2 Dr. Shea The Elusive World of Psychosis: How to Help Patients Share Their Pain, Hallucinations, Delusions, and Dangerous Thoughts Dr. Shea looks at the puzzling world of psychosis. He demonstrates a variety of specific interviewing techniques to help clinicians ferret out the earliest signs of impending psychosis or relapse, while providing a better understanding of the exquisite pain created by psychotic process. In addition, he provides immediate practical interviewing techniques for spotting dangerous psychotic process including suicide, homicide, and self-mutilation. Once again Dr. Shea illustrates his interviewing techniques with compelling videos of actual clients experiencing psychotic process. 3:15-4:45- Afternoon Breakout Session Understanding the People beneath the Personality Diagnosis By Dr. Shea Therapeutic Drumming By Amie Latta
