SUMMARY:Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) 2023
DESCRIPTION:COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR INSOMNIA (CBTi) \nDates: 8/8/23 & 8/15/23     Time: 9:00-11:00 AM     Contact Hrs: 4     CEU’s: 4 \nEnrollment Limited: 20 \nInsomnia is defined as poor sleep that is associated with distress and/or daytime consequences\, including impairment in functioning or mood. Insomnia can lead to poor mental health\, or can be a consequence of poor mental health. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBTi) is an empirically validated brief psychotherapy with evidence of long-term improvements in sleep for people with and without psychiatric comorbidities. CBTi addresses behavioral components to sleep (e.g. stimulus control\, sleep restriction therapy)\, cognitive components (beliefs about sleep and sleep related anxiety)\, and physiological components (reducing hyperarousal). In this course\, participants will be introduced to the rationale for CBTi\, learn the tools involved in implementing it\, and become familiar with how to manage common comorbidities and challenges in implementation. \nMethod: Live Online\, Lecture\, discussion. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the sleep cycle and common patterns of normal and disordered sleep\nUnderstand Spielman’s model and the difference between predisposing\, precipitating and perpetuating factors in insomnia.\nIdentify which clients would be appropriate candidates for CBTi\nLearn how to teach stimulus control and sleep restriction therapy to clients\n\nInstructor: Rachel Held\, PhD \nLocation: Live via Zoom \nCost: $200 \nWestchester Jewish Community Services is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Psychology as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed psychologists #PSY-0101\, and by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed social workers #SW0067. \nPlease note: To receive CE credits\, one must attend the entirety of the class. Partial credit will not be awarded to those who attend only a portion of the class. Therefore\, late arrival or an early departure of greater than 10 minutes constitutes not attending a class in its entirety. To document attendance\, participants must sign in and out of the class and complete an evaluation at the end of each class. \nRefund Policy:  Refundable up to 2 weeks prior to start date \n\n\n\n\nCognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information\n\n\n\n    Name\n        *\n    \n    \n	\n		Name	\n\n	\n					\n				\n					First				\n\n				First			\n						\n				\n					Last				\n\n				Last			\n				\n\n\n    \n    \n\n\n    Email\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Are you a WJCS employee?\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 Yes\n					\n					 No\n\n    \n    \n\n\n    I understand and agree to CE requirements.\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 Yes\n					\n					 No\n\n    \n    \n\n\n		\n		\nPayment\n\n\n\n    Credit Card\n        \n    \n    \n\n\n\n    \n    \n\n\n		\n		\n	\n\nSubmit\n\n\n\n\n	\n			\n			\n				If you are human\, leave this field blank.

SUMMARY:Book Club: Choosing Hope!
DESCRIPTION:“Hope is a thin thread that can tear or escape our grip\, but there is no weaving\, or living\, without it.” Those are words of David Arnow\, author of Choosing Hope: The Heritage of Judaism. These days\, those words speak directly to us. For many of us\, it is a lot of work to maintain hope in the face the world’s turbulence and crises—not to mention our own personal struggles. Let’s read what David posits about whether or not there is a specifically Jewish way of hope\, and whether hope differs from optimism and faith. Join me for a book club on Choosing Hope\, beginning mid-May\, and continuing through June. I hope to see you there. \nProgram Fee: $18/session

SUMMARY:Maintaining Appropriate Professional Boundaries: Exploring Ethical Obligations of Mental Health Professionals (June 22)
DESCRIPTION:(WJCS STAFF ONLY)\nDate: June 22\, 2023                               Time:   9:00-12:00 \nEnrollment Limited To:  25               Contact Hrs:    3                     CEUs:  3 \n  \nCan mental health professionals work with clients who they know from outside of the job? Can you barter with clients for your services? Mental health professionals are charged with the legal and ethical responsibility to maintain professional boundaries\, but the obligation isn’t always so easy to discern. This course brings real-world context to ethical concerns often experienced by professionals in practice in maintaining appropriate professional boundaries\, including telehealth and social media domains. This course will provide a framework to contemplate ethical dilemmas and make informed decisions that insulate professionals from legal liability while protecting clients from harm. \nThis course is designed to meet the NYS requirement of Mental Health Professionals to receive 3 hours of training on maintaining appropriate professional boundaries (effective April 2023). \nMethod:  Live interactive \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the ethical and legal responsibility of mental health professionals to maintain appropriate professional boundaries with their clients.\nDefine dual relationships.\nApply a framework to avoid dual relationships whenever possible.\nApply a framework to minimize potential harm to clients and the professional whenever dual relationships are not avoidable.\nExplain how to demonstrate that a client has not been exploited or coerced\, intentionally or unintentionally.\n\nInstructor:  Kathryn S. Krase\, PhD\, JD\, MSW \nLocation:  141 North Central Avenue\, Hartsdale\, NY (Zoom) \n  \nWestchester Jewish Community Services is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Psychology as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed psychologists #PSY-0101\, and by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed social workers #SW0067. \n Please note:  To receive CE credits\, one must attend the entirety of the class. Partial credit will not be awarded to those who attend only a portion of the class.  Therefore\, late arrival or an early departure of greater than 10 minutes constitutes not attending a class in its entirety. To document attendance\, participants must sign in and out of the class and complete an evaluation at the end of each class. \nThis form is currently closed for submissions.

SUMMARY:Over and Out!
DESCRIPTION:Over and Out! An Informal Gathering over the Eternal Topic of Mortality \n“Dying is absolutely safe\,” writes the American spiritual teacher Baba Ram Dass\, whose Mom knew him as Richard Alpert. You would think that nothing would ever change about the the time-honored practice of being mortal\, but people are talking more openly about death than ever before. I am hosting three informal conversations I’m calling “Over and Out!” about some of the new ways our human and Jewish communities are talking and thinking about death and dying. The forum will be open and informal (bring a glass of wine\, if you like)\, with a final session at a café or restaurant of our choosing. \nProgram Fee: $18/session \nPlease contact Rabbi Michael Goldman at mgoldman@wjcs.com for more information and to register.
