The 2010 Spring Workshop Series

Topic : Transformative Case Management for Ex-Offenders

Presenter : Benneth Lee, CADC

Date : February 20, 2010

Time : 9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Description :

Ex-offenders tend to be ill-equipped to handle stressful situations that can result in recidivism. They are faced with a myriad of decisions and often with little positive support. They frequently succumb to drug use and criminal activities. This one-day workshop will enhance the case manager/counselor skills in intentional, structured, systemic, and corrective interventions focusing on personal transformation of the attitude and mental framework of the ex-offender’s disrupted human development cycle. Participants will learn the paradigm shift for the ex-offender and methods in which to support them through their juncture of vulnerability and re-entry into their communities.

 

Topic : DUI Update: 2010

Presenter : Edward Holden, Attorney At Law

Date : February 27, 2010

Time : 9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

This workshop will consist of a comprehensive presentation on DUI law and the administrative hearing process. When individuals lose their driving privileges as a result of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, their privileges can only be restored via an administrative hearing with the Secretary of State.

We will take an in-depth look at the “Nature of Verbal Communications” and the “Boundaries of Physical Touch”. Participants will be given the opportunity to analyze some ethical dilemmas. We will take a look at some actual ethical complaints made to IAODAPCA, and discuss the conclusions regarding action or lack of action that should be taken. A question and answer period will be available for participants. Hopefully, your critical thinking will be challenged

Participation by the attendees will be invited, as well as discussion of their individual cases.

Topic : Improving Outcomes For Famil

Presenters : Bakahia Madison , MA , CADC, Diane Mariani, BA, CADC, and Panel

Date : April 10, 2010

Time : 9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Description :

It is well known that addiction is a family disease. The field of substance abuse will need to continue to address this reality through family-centered services and it will be critical for professionals to be aware of evidence-based practices (EBP) that will strengthen the individuals of a family as well as the family as a whole. This dynamic workshop will bring together treatment providers that will speak on EBP for mothers, children, fathers and the family as a unit. These experts are also connected through their involvement in the Illinois Coalition of Family-Based Treatment Providers and Allies – a group that meets monthly to build and support community partnerships in order to improve outcomes for families.
