Clinical Applications of Mindfulness: Bringing Presence, Openness and

Compassion into Therapy
Keith Haas, MSW, LCSW
Director of Behavioral Health Services, Bluegrass Care Clinic
CEs: 6.0 SW, PSY, CADC
Cost: $120
Date: October 10
The practice of Mindfulness has become a significant force in the field of mental health, with an everincreasing range of applicability and a deepening base of empirical support. Clinicians are finding
that the cultivation of mindful awareness, which entails attending to present moment experience with
openness, acceptance and compassion, helps patients struggling with a wide variety of difficulties,
from chronic pain/illness to depression, anxiety and substance abuse problems. What's more,
clinicians themselves are benefitting from this practice as it helps them develop resilience and
presence in the face of the daily suffering of their patients. Mindfulness is not merely a technique,
but a way of being, in which one's relationship to pain is transformed in such a way that we are able
to remain effective, engaged and in touch with our values amidst the constant wave of difficulties life
throws our way.
Those attending this training should come ready to engage the material with their hearts, bodies and
minds. To learn about and cultivate the way of Mindfulness is not achieved by the intellect; it is by
nature an experiential, non-conceptual pursuit. That said, participants will be asked to take part in a
variety of experiential exercises meant to bring the central points of this training to life. If you are
interested in learning how to cultivate the ability to stay present, engaged and effective in the face of
life's difficulties, and help your patients do the same, then please join us.
Keith Haas, MSW, LCSW has been practicing social work over the last 15 years in a variety of
settings, including work in wilderness therapy with adolescents, clinical social work with homeless
adults and adolescents, as well as substance abuse counseling and behavioral health work in private

the practice of mindfulness based therapy into all of the work he has done. He is currently director of
behavioral health services at the Bluegrass Care Clinic, University of Kentucky Healthcare, where he
works with people living with HIV/AIDS. As part of this work, he facilitates a Mindfulness Based
Stress Reduction Program.

Cost: $60
Date: September 12
Epidemiologic studies indicate that comorbid condition are more common that mental health
disorders found in there pure forms. The question that is almost never asked is Why? This
workshop explores some possible answers to this question that have significant implications for

Safe and Supportive Environments for Frail and Cognitively Impaired Older Adults
and Caregivers
Barbara Helm, MA
University of Kentucky College of Public Health
Cost: $130
Date: September 4
One of the most overlooked aspects of caregiving and care-receiving is an understanding of the impact of the
physical and social environment on an older person; also overlooked: the impact of the physical and social
environment on families and caregivers. This presentation will explore ways to create an environment that is
safe and supportive for frail or demented older adults (physical, emotional and social aspects). The bricks and
mortar of a living space is important but not necessarily the most important. If an environment is not
supportive and safe to the older person, it is probably not for the care providers. When the care providers are
stressed by the living or work place, their ability to create a positive environment for their charges is affected.
We will explore home settings, adult day and community settings, and residential and long term care.
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Discuss the physical environment and how its potential effect on the safety and well-being of the older
adult, family and caregivers
Give examples of ways to adapt or adjust the physical, social and emotional environment to create a
more positive living/working situations
List special environmental issues for those living with dementia and those who care for them
Identify safety issues to be considered for older frail or demented individuals
Describe how creating a safe and supportive environment for an older person can lessen physical,
emotional and social stress for families and care providers
Name resources available to learn more about safe and supportive environments

Social Worker to Manager: Core Competencies for Bridging the Gap between Direct
Service and Leaders
Lisa Gilbert Williams, MSSA
University of Kentucky Institute for Workplace Innovation, Executive Director
Cost: $130
Date: November 7
Over the next decade, a leadership gap is predicted in the nonprofit sector. By 2016, it is estimated
that these organizations will need to recruit and develop almost 80,000 new high-level managers each
year. While social workers can be highly effective leaders (e.g., managers, directors, administrators)
of nonprofit organizations, many overlook these opportunities since the majority of their training and
experience has been providing direct services. Those who do transition often have important skill or
knowledge deficits that limit their success. Based on recommendations from the Nonprofit
Leadership Alliance, this highly interactive workshop will provide professionals with an
understanding of the core skills needed to transition into leadership positions. This course is
appropriate for professionals who have recently been promoted into management roles, or who are
interested in making this transition.
At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Identify skills needed for effective management in the nonprofit sector
Understand the need for financial literacy within the nonprofit context
Understand the variety of fundraising strategies and methods used to support a nonprofit mission
Identify and understand the role of key organizational stakeholders
Identify various human resource management philosophies and consider how you will
implement these into practice with paid and unpaid employees
Define the term evidence-based practice and understand its importance in program planning,
implementation and evaluation
Be able to identify where to go for additional information and support

Cognitive Node Link Mapping: A Very Helpful Treatment Technique

CEUs: Approved for 1.5 credit hours for licensed Kentucky and Ohio social workers and Kentucky
psychologists. Approved for KY Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors.
This online workshop presents a cognitive treatment approach that is easy to learn and which can be
very helpful in many areas of clinical practice. Node Link Mapping was developed at the Behavioral
Research Institute at Texas Christian University and was incorporated into the rural therapy protocol
developed at the University of Kentucky. Essentially, Node Link Mapping is a visual way to
represent the often complex relationships among the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of clients in
a way that makes it much easier to see the specific kinds of connections and relationships among
them. It can be used either in individual therapy or in group therapy and has the added benefit of
focusing the interaction on a specific set of problems or experiences, decreasing the amount of
wandering or avoidance that often occurs in therapeutic interaction.

protocol at the University of Kentucky

work with clients who might benefit from such an approach.
