"Understanding and Working With Borderline Personality Disorder"
SWC Community Lecture Series Date: May 24, 2013, 6:00pm - 8:00pm Fee: Free to the public or $20 for 2 CEUs Location: Southwestern College, 3960 San Felipe Rd., Santa Fe, NM Laura L. Lansrud-López, M.A., LPCC, LPAT, ATR-BC Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex, often misunderstood, and highly stigmatized mental health diagnosis. With nine possible symptom sets there are over 200 different ways the disorder may manifest itself. Additionally, BPD frequently co-occurs with major depressive disorder, substance abuse, eating disorders, and anxiety disorders. Despite the complexity of diagnosis, one thing is clear: individuals with BPD suffer from chronic and severe emotional pain. Yet they often experience stigma and discrimination from the very professionals they seek out for help. This talk is intended to demystify BPD, discuss effective treatments, and look at ways we can compassionately work with clients carrying this diagnosis. |

"Ethics and Social Media: Awakening to a New Multicultural Challenge"
NMASERVIC Pre-Conference Ethics Workshop Date: June 14, 2013, 9:00am – 4:00pm (6 CEUs) Fee: $120 Location: Santa Fe Center for Spiritual Living, 505 Camino de los Marquez, Santa Fe, NM Laura L. Lansrud-López, M.A., LPCC, LPAT, ATR-BC, and James Nolan, Ph.D. Do you have a Social Media policy as part of your informed consent process? What if a client sends you a “friend” request or begins to “follow” you on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, or Twitter? When is it ethical to conduct an internet search on a current or prospective client? How will you respond to negative ratings on consumer sites such as Yelp.com or HealthGrades.com? Have you considered the probability that a client will research you online before or during a course of therapy? Is that a violation of your privacy? Is it a mere boundary crossing? What is an ethical response? These and other interactions with social media are ripe with ethical questions relating to boundaries, transparency, self-disclosure, availability, confidentiality, privacy, and informed consent as well as introducing new gray-zone areas such as “friending,” “following,” “commenting,” and “posting.” Many mental health professionals believe they are invisible when they are off-line, but it is no longer realistic to think our professional identities, reputations, and client relationships are unaffected by social media or advances in technology just because we don’t participate in specific social media platforms. The reality of instantaneous and pervasive online connectivity is headed our way, and information about us is already widely available online with and without our permission. This workshop explores how we can engage this territory without fear and in an informed, conscious, and ethical manner. Additionally, we will equip you with essential information about the emerging and historically significant digital native/digital immigrant cultural divide – a divide, when viewed through a multiculturally sensitive lens, will assist us in ethical decision making regarding our social media presence. |
