Session B - Getting Clients to the Finish Line: Working with Resistant
Children and Families in Therapy
Jennifer Hodgson, PhD, Professor, Department of Child Development and Family
Relations, College of Health and Human Performance, East Carolina University
There are times when it seems like our practice panel is filled with cases that seem to be hanging out in the mid-phase
of therapy. We all have those experiences where we just wanted more for our clients but for some reason treatment
stalled, or never really took off, and we were left wondering what we could have done to mobilize them toward change.
This session will invite attendees to open up about the tough cases that have challenged them and offer evidence-based
strategies for helping to infuse new energy and ideas into one’s therapeutic process.

Session E - Child Maltreatment and Mental Illness: How Trauma Affects
the Developing Brain
Jodi Flick, MSW, LCSW, ACSW, Clinical Assistant Professor, School of Social Work,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
We used to think that child abuse and childhood trauma left only emotional scars that followed people into adulthood.
But, science is giving us a much clearer understanding of the physical damage done to the developing brain by child
maltreatment. This damage can cause the symptoms we see in many children with mental illness. This session will focus on seeing the connection between child maltreatment and behavioral disorders, and what treatments are known to be
effective for children with these disorders.

Anna Smith, BSW, Co-founder and Executive Director, Restore One, Greenville;

of Health and Human Performance, East Carolina University
Sex trafficking is a hushed crime. To be sure, while the reality of female sex trafficking is widely recognized, emerging
studies claim up to 50% of child victims in the United States are boys. Learn from real case studies, nationally recognized research reports and work in the field.
Session G - Welcome to WISC-V

Studies, East Carolina University
In the United States, 23.5 million people over the age of 12 needed treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol abuse problem in 2009. The world of street drug use and treatment has changed dramatically over the past decade. Prescription
drug abuse is on the rise and designer drugs are rapidly created. This session will outline the current trends in street
drug use, and adolescent treatment. Prevention programs that are typically geared toward elementary school age children will also be discussed.

Session A - Ethical Challenges Common to Working with Children and
Families
Jennifer Hodgson, PhD
Working with children and families in treatment is different from working with individuals in treatment. There are
systemic and confidentiality differences that must be carefully monitored so therapists do not accidentally commit an
ethical violation. This session will address those challenges and provide attendees with possible solutions to implement into their work immediately.
4:45 - 6:45 pm
Evening Concurrent Sessions (continued)
Choose one session to attend

reviewed.
Session C - Client Violence: Keeping Yourself and Others Safe
Jodi Flick, MSW, LCSW, ACSW
Our society, and especially our work settings, have become significantly more dangerous, yet few mental health professionals have had specific training in how to recognize, prevent or effectively intervene in potentially violent situations.
This presentation addresses the growing problem of violence against health and mental health professionals, with recommendations on both clinical and administrative issues regarding client dangerousness. The primary goal is to ensure
the safety of practitioners, clients and others involved.

promote early childhood mental health in NC.
Session E - The Human-Animal Connection:
Exploring Applications of Animal Assisted and Social Dog Therapies
Dianna Aideuis, LCSW, BSN, RN, Certified Advanced Children, Youth,
Family Social Worker, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Greenville
The merits of the human-animal connection have been explored since the early 1940’s. The use of animals in treatment
was originally restricted to convalescent hospitals. Though recently, animal assisted therapy has been deemed useful
when incorporated in the treatment of post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, sexual trauma, and substance abuse.
This presentation is designed for professionals involved in the care of children with physical, psychological, and/or behavioral issues. Topics include historical highlights of animal assisted therapy, animal therapy research, integration of
animal assisted therapy with various treatment models, ethical and cultural considerations, as well as practical application of social dog therapy. This presentation will also provide healthcare professionals with a better understanding of
animal assisted therapy and its potential uses in their own practice. This presentation will include Toby, who is a 7-8
year old mix breed Airedale/Hound and was adopted by Dianna several years ago. His certifications include completion
of Basic Obedience in February of 2009, Canine Good Citizenship in March 2009 and Social Therapy in October 2009.
Dianna and Toby work as a team.

Bryce L. Jorgensen, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Child Development
and Family Relations, College of Health and Human Performance,
East Carolina University
Money permeates all aspects of our lives and either contributes to life satisfaction or leads to additional stress. This session will discuss ways to work with and strengthen couples, parents, and families regarding money issues. It is key for
couples and parents to be able to effectively communicate about money in order to not only create financial goals but to
work together on accomplishing the goals. Topics covered during this session include: money personalities and histories, managing the money you have, communicating about money as a couple, teaching kids about money, debt management, saving for the future, importance of credit, and setting goals.

Session D - Helping Families Build Stronger Attachments
through the Power of Play
Andy Brimhall, PhD, LMFT, Assistant Professor, Department of Child
Development and Family Relations, College of Health and Human Performance,
East Carolina University
This presentation will highlight several of the major challenges facing the parent-child relationship in today’s society.
It will address the negative impact these challenges have on the parent-child connection and talk about how Filial Therapy can help restore those relationships. Filial Therapy is one of the most effective evidence-based family models that
has been proven to help improve: a) the child’s behavioral problems (both internal and external); b) the parent-child
relationship; c) the parent’s level of functioning (both as a parent and in regards to their own mental health); d) the
marital relationship. For these reasons it is one of the most effective interventions that truly involves the entire family.
This session will introduce participants to Filial Play Therapy and provide them with a basic understanding of how it
helps improve family functioning.
Session E - Addressing Childhood Exposure to Domestic Violence
Trishana Jones, MSW, Children and Youth Coordinator, North Carolina Coalition
Against Domestic Violence, Durham
This presentation will concentrate on the dynamics of domestic violence and the impact of witnessing domestic violence on children and teens. The goal of this presentation is to expand service providers’ knowledge base and skills in
order to effectively support child witnesses of domestic violence.
Session F - Bullying: It Affects Everyone!
William Lassiter, MPA, Deputy Director, North Carolina Department of Public
Safety - Center for Safe Schools
In this session, participants will learn why it is important to focus on the challenge of bullying, and how bullying plays
a part in future and more extensive violent behaviors. In order to address this challenge, schools must first construct a
common definition of what bullying is. After looking at how bullying is defined, the causes of bullying will be presented. Finally, participants will be given some concrete tools they can use to prevent bullying in their schools and
communities.
Session G - Administration and Interpretation of WISC-V
Gail Rodin, PhD
This session is designed as a follow-on to W elcome to W ISC-V!, but you may also attend if you did not attend that session. The presenter will provide a very brief overview of the new test, then focus on the nuts and bolts of administering, scoring, and interpreting the new measure of cognitive abilities in children ages 6 to 16. The session will stress
how the changes from WISC-IV to WISC-V affect interpretation of the new test, as well as how it can be used within a
cross-battery model of assessment.
12:15 pm - LUNCHEON
12:45 pm - LUNCHEON PLENARY
Luncheon Plenary - Breaking the School to Prison Pipeline
J.H. Corpening, II, Chief District Court Judge, 5th Judicial District, New Hanover
County
Zero tolerance policies in the 80’s and 90’s that began with the war on drugs also crept into school discipline policies.
Exclusionary discipline policies have had an unfortunate effect on many of our students, with the most dramatic impact
on children of color. The good news is that school-justice partnerships can be effective in changing this trend, improve
outcomes for youth, improve school climate, and make schools safer. These partnerships are beginning to spread
around the country, and have now come to North Carolina as well. This lunch plenary session will chart the development and progress of a school-justice partnership in New Hanover County designed to address the issues surrounding
the School to Prison Pipeline

Associate Professor, School of Social Work, University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill
Barbara Leach, Family Support Specialist and Special Projects Coordinator,
Family Support Program, School of Social Work, University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill
This session will focus on building a collaborative partnership between caregivers and providers to improve outcomes
for children and their families. It will address the prerequisite values and attitudes needed to build such a relationship
and the importance of establishing and maintaining positive communication between caregivers and providers. Difficult
topics will also be discussed such as communicating difficult news to caregivers, helping caregivers accept their child’s
diagnosis/disability and helping providers understand the grief process of the caregiver. The role of caregiver and provider in developing successful interventions will be examined. Attention will be given to caregiver and provider expectations and strategies to enhance their communication
Session B - Working with Veterans, Service Members and Their Families:
Military Cultural Competence
Nancy B. Hauck, LCSW, MVF-CSW, Clinical Supervisor, Behavioral Health/Family
Advocacy Program at Camp Lejeune - New River Marine Corp Installations

Session C - A Practical Guide to Behavior Interventions for Children and
Adolescents with ADHD
Brandon K. Schultz, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology,
East Carolina University
Most children diagnosed with ADHD - roughly 70 to 80% - exhibit persistent academic and social difficulties from early childhood into young adulthood. Oppositional and antisocial behaviors also emerge at a disproportionally high rate
for children and adolescents with ADHD over this same timeframe. Such problems strain families, schools, and even
the juvenile justice system; it is unclear how professionals can effectively intervene. Most recommended treatments
focus on late-stage, tertiary interventions for serious conduct problems, particularly when intensive family or multisystemic interventions are warranted; fewer treatments focus on children who are at-risk for such needs. This session will
explore primary-and secondary-prevention strategies for youth with ADHD and related disorders. The interventions
presented in the session have been extensively studied as part of the Challenging Horizons Program (CHP), which is an
evidence-based program designed originally for school settings. The focus will be on how these interventions can be
successfully applied in both school and community settings.
Session D - Early Relationships:
Helping Parents Foster Healthy Development
Sarah Cengel, MSW, LCSW, Bilingual Mental Health Therapist, Field Instructor,
School of Social Work, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
This session will help participants develop skills in facilitating attachment with their young children, ages zero to three.
Participants will learn skills to assist parents in connecting with their young children. Attendees will explain the impact
of early relationships on a child’s development; describe how their support to new parents impacts young children; and
demonstrate the skills to foster positive attachment and parent-child interaction.
Session E - Social-Emotional Risk for Children and Youth in Foster Care:
The Role of Integrated Mental Health and the Primary Care Medical Home
Marian F. Earls, MD, MTS, FAAP, Member, Mental Health Leadership Work Group
of the AAP, Director of Pediatric Programs, CCNC (Community Care of North
Carolina), Raleigh
Karen Maynard, LCSW, LCAS, Behavioral Health Clinician, Wake Forest Baptist
Medical Center
This session will be an interactive presentation discussing trauma-informed care for children and youth in foster care.
We will review the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) Guidelines for care of children and youth in foster care.
(www.aap.org/healthyfostercareamerica) and the Fostering Health NC initiative (www.ncpeds.org), with discussion of
promotion, prevention and interventions for healthy social-emotional development. Focus will be on implementation of
those guidelines in the setting of a mental health professional as a member of the patient/family-centered team in the
medical home.

Session F - Assessment in Early Intervention:
Recommended Practices
Linda Crane Mitchell, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Child
Development and Family Relations, College of Health and Human Performance,
East Carolina University
Assessment is an ongoing process which is essential for specialized services, development of curriculum, provision of
intervention and the documentation of progress. Professionals need to know the various types of assessments as well as
the standards for the selection of materials. In addition, professionals must have the skills to embed goals/outcomes
from the IEP/IFSP into everyday activities and routines. Data collection skills and appropriate techniques to use to determine progress on children’s goals and outcomes are also essential. This session will provide an overview of appropriate assessment practices that can be used with young children. An interactive format will be used.
Session G - Non-Suicidal Self-Injury:
Effective Interventions & Proactive Responses
Jeannie Golden, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Psychology,
East Carolina University
Non-suicidal, self-injury (NSSI) or self-mutilation consists of an individual cutting, scraping, picking, biting, or burning
their own skin to the point of causing tissue damage. It is a common problem among female adolescents. A recent
study found that 46% of the students in a school sample engaged in NSSI on the average either about once a week or
once a month. This behavior is often difficult for parents and school personnel to deal with. Using a case example, this
presenter will examine NSSI from a functional behavioral perspective and provide effective interventions that can be
used by counselors working with individuals exhibiting this behavior as well as ways for parents and schools to respond
in a proactive manner.
