Maryellen Dance, LMHC

“Anxiety” is thrown around a lot as a word…but what is it really? This workshop reviews 7 different psychological facts that will change the conversation around anxiety. You will leave this workshop understanding all the different ways anxiety can look, how to mitigate anxiety in the room with clients, and how to manage inadvertently adding anxiety into the client room.
Embracing Your “Self” in Liminal Space
and Times of Crisis

1.5 CEs, Social Worker CEs Pending
Sometimes the happenings in our macro world and inner world intersect in ways that compound trauma, exacerbate our shadows and affect our sense of balance and efficacy. Welcome to a discussion about how we can care for ourselves and grow, while honoring uncertainties, fears, loss, grief, hopes and joys.

Crisis and the High Conflict Person:
Mediating in the days of Covid-19
Bobbie L. Dillon, MS, Communication & Conflict Management Specialist; Kevin Clark, Partner, Wesley Clark & Peshkin
1.5 CEs, CLEs, Social Worker CEs Pending
People with high conflict personalities increase conflict through their extreme behavior, uncontrolled emotions, and preoccupation with the ABCs—accusing, blaming, and criticizing. Add to this the normal responses associated with crisis situations—difficulty taking in and interpreting data, exaggerated communication, and fight/flight/freeze responses—and you have a recipe for a difficult mediation. This workshop will explore the research related to high conflict personalities and crisis. Strategies for mediating in these challenging times will be offered and applied. Highly interactive.

You've heard of Reddit's "Ask Me Anything" open forums where subject matter experts field questions from all comers. We will have a panel of symposium speakers as well as a few other "self-appointed experts" on legal issues, financial topics and mental health aspects of mediation to close out our symposium. Take this opportunity to get answers to your burning questions on things that weren't discussed earlier or to dig a little deeper into some of the topics we learned about.
Happy Hour!
