1. A Bilingual’s Healing Journey: In Search of the
Language of the Heart (cultural) Psychotherapy for a bilingual client is complex when experienced
in their second language. It does not always provide healing or
helpful outcomes. Much can be misunderstood and much can be
missed altogether. Language is in the spotlight when we consider
therapy with bilingual clients. Yet, language is rarely the focus of
psychotherapeutic work that is referred to as the “talking cure.”
This reference speaks to the importance of language. The bilingual
client is able to navigate verbal communication in two worlds, but
remains at a disadvantage when the intimacy of their culture and
expression of their affective experience cannot be accessed in
their second language. Their first language holds the bonds of
their attachment ties and the rhythm and intonations in the voices
of their primary caregiving relationship.
Maria Elena Oliva, LCSW
2. Creating a Vision of Hope Let a therapeutic art experience re-awaken you to the joy
of our profession. Clear up uncertainty about who you
are and what you hope for in your life and career. Artistic
skill not required; bring only your social work heart and a
photograph of yourself. All other materials are provided.
Gina Bryant, LMSW
3. From Youth to Adulthood: The Legacy of a School
Based Gang Prevention and Intervention Program (cultural) School Social Workers and Authors of Effective Intervention for
Gangs and Gang Members in the School Services Sourcebook; will
present a retrospective look at a high school comprehensive gang
prevention and intervention group and the long term effects post
graduation. Participants will have an opportunity to examine many
of the barriers to learning for gang associated youth, particularly
first generation Mexican males. Presenters will share highlights of
recently published work with various take-home assessment tools.
Timothea Elizalde, MSW, LMSW & Gilbert Ramirez, LICSW
4. Integrating Emotional Intelligence: Enhancing
the Skills of Self-awareness, Self-direction and
Self–management Emotional intelligence is the ability to effectively blend thoughts
and feelings in order to make better decisions and create mutually
respectful relationships. The core skills: self awareness, self direc-
tion and self management are teachable and learnable. Join us to
enhance your own EI and add critical skills to your toolbox.
Amy McConnell Franklin, Ph.D., M.P.H., M.Ed.
5. Historical Trauma, Racism and Sexual Violence in
the Lives of Native People (cultural) This presentation will identify historical trauma and understanding
of dynamics of sexual violence in American Indian/Alaska Native
(AI/AN) communities. The training will consider historical experi-
ences, racism issues that impact health and sexual violence in pop-
ulations and their impact on current community perspectives.
Elena Giacci & Rachell Tenorio MSW
6. The Financial Social Work “Financial-Life Manage-ment System” This session affords a content rich training providing exceptional
interaction in combination with many specific personal and profes-
sional learning opportunities. Attendees will discover the psycho-
social foundation to money management along with its many spe-
cific intricacies and challenges. This workshop will disclose the
important connection between emotional stability and financial
circumstances; demonstrate the relevance of financial capability to
clients’ lives; allow attendees to appreciate how personal, emo-
tional and individual the choice to take greater responsibility for
your financial future is.
Reeta Wolfsohn, CMSW
7. The Emotional Effects of Serious Chronic Illness This workshop will define chronic sorrow and related phenomena
in a three part seminar. In a large group we will explore the emo-
tional effects of several chronic medical conditions. In a small
workgroup participants will discuss their experience with these
phenomena in their practice. Back in the large group we will enjoy
feedback from the small groups and a panel discussion of practi-
tioners will share their experiences. Through our clinical work
and our study group meetings we are discovering ways of hearing
our clients more fully. Nanette Concotelli-Fisk, LMSW, Harriet Meek, PhD, LISW & Skitch
Ferguson, LMSW
8.Cross Cultural Perspectives on Grief and Loss
(cultural) Participants will be able to discuss dominant cultural norms re-
garding grief, stages of grief and differentiate these between Amer-
ican Indian perspectives and beliefs regarding grief. Discussion will
also include the importance of story, ritual, traditional processes
surrounding loss, support systems impact and role in processing
grief, and changing concepts and trends in mainstream theory.
Facilitators will address changing approaches in the field, changing
perspectives in the field, and the importance of thorough assess-
ments. This workshop will be a unique opportunity to reflect on
the anticipation of loss, grief and loss, and continuing bonds with
the departed through the lens of two experience practitioners of
differing backgrounds and training.
Jennifer S. Nanez, LMSW & Olin Dodson, LPCC

9. DSM-V: Autism Spectrum Disorder Criteria,
General Treatment Principles, and Application to
Work with Individuals and Their Families (cultural) A review of core deficits of autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
from DSM-V criteria leads to general principles for working with
individuals with ASD in a variety of settings, with particular em-
phasis on working with parents and families. A recent case-study
of the effects of therapeutic horsemanship and hippotherapy on
pre-adolescents highlights hopeful implications for advanced social
work practice with clients with autism. Debra Sugar, LISW, LCSW & Wanda Whittlesey-Jerome, MSW,
LMSW, Ph.D.
10. Military Sexual Trauma: The Invisible War This presentation will begin with the first screening of The Invisi-
ble War Documentary followed by Q&A with MST survivors. The
subject matter is about the investigative epidemic of rape of
soldiers within the US military. The Invisible War is a ground-
breaking documentary about one of our country's most shameful
and best kept secrets. Today, a female soldier in Iraq and Afghan-
istan is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by
enemy fire with the number of assaults in the last decade alone in
the hundreds of thousands. Focusing on the powerfully emotional
stories of several young women, the film reveals the systemic cov-
er up of the crimes against them and follows their struggles to
rebuild their lives and fight for justice. The Invisible War features
hard-hitting interviews with high-ranking military officials and
members of Congress that reveal the perfect storm conditions
that exist for rape in the military, its history of cover-up, and what
can be done to bring about much needed change.
Geri Lynn Weinstein-Matthews, LMSW, LICSW
11. Financial Self-Care Planning Today’s fast paced lifestyle too often prevents self-care of any
kind from being a priority and Financial Self-Care from even being
a consideration. This newer work has been developed into an
exciting workshop which reframes the concept of money manage-
ment into one which is more positive, nurturing, engaging and
achievable. This session connects attendees to their individual
money stories and how past chapters have influenced present
ones. Based on this insight attendees will use their Financial Self-
Care Plans to fill the blank pages of future chapters of their mon-
ey stories with more emotionally and financially stable narratives
and improved outcomes.
Reeta Wolfsohn, CMSW
12. The Next Osama: Getting Well in a Culture of
Fear Of all the clinical professions, social work is the only one that
seriously takes context into account and sees the patient in situ.
How can we treat people without helping them to see what the
culture around them is teaching them? How can they get better
without seeing all the ways in which the culture keeps them sick?
The answer is simple: we can’t. Without awareness and the
empowerment to choose, pathology perseveres and health, which
is adaptability, freedom, and the ability to give and receive love,
remains elusive. This seminar is a brief, but passionate exploration
of the medium and the message in American culture.
Judith Acosta, LISW
13. The New Jim Crow (cultural)
This presentation exposes documents and shines a spot light on
the reasons for the mass incarceration of minority young people,
specifically African Americans and Hispanics. Control and subordi-
nation in the guise of “The War on Drugs” and “Getting tough on
Crime” are the driving force behind mass incarceration and “The
New Jim Crow”.
Julius Harrington, DSW
14. Let Me Tell You My Way: How to Make Grown
Ups Understand Investigative and clinical social workers will learn useful tech-
niques to engage and encourage children of all ages to provide
meaningful information. Verbal, nonverbal, expressive and lin-
guistic factors will be presented as they inform useful approaches
to maximizing communication at the child’s level. Whether an
intervention is forensic or clinical, or even an initial safety check,
it is a win-win situation when the professional obtains a greater
quantity and quality of reliable assessment information, while the
child feels truly heard, encouraged and hopeful for a better
tomorrow.
Madaline “Linde” Merry, MA, LMHC & Michelle Aldana, MA, LMHC
15. What is Gender? (cultural) This presentation will address how men and women are defined
and how culture influences this perspective. Other topics will
include gender spectrum/diversity, how gender is determined, and
the conflation of gender expression and sexual orientation. LGBT
topics will be discussed, but the goal of this presentation is to
improve practice with clients regardless of identity.
Jen Panhorst, LMSW
16. Life Review, Interacting with the Elderly Life review occurs when older individuals experience a natural
occurrence of a mental process by which they return to con-
sciousness past experiences. This presentation examines the crea-
tive reconstruction of events that accommodate memories to
meet a person’s current emotional needs. This will benefit the
professional in becoming mindful of the older adult’s identity.
Cirilo C. Sandoval ,LISW, LICSW
17. Human Trafficking in the Sex Industry: Issues,
Interventions and Real Testimony The FBI estimates that at least 100,000 American girls (18 and
under) are involved in the sex trafficking trade with a high per-
centage of that number involved in the sex industry. Current
issues/interventions and an actual previous sex industry worker’s
experience will be presented!
Keahi Kimo Souza MS, MSW, LMSW & Roslynn Gallegos, BSW
18. Hope is Alive and Well (cultural) Every time a victim enters the doors of a shelter for domestic
violence she IS making a difference. A difference for a better life
for herself and her children. To take that walk, to even begin, a
seed beckons to her, a seed of hope for a new way of living.

19. NM: Juvenile Justice Reform and Hope for the
Future New Mexico is positioned to become a state-wide model site for
juvenile justice reform through the Juvenile Detention Alternatives
Initiative (JDAI), a process that will involve citizens from every
community as agents of change and hope. This presentation will
give social workers a foundation from which to actively engage in
developing this model for their own communities.
Anne McGoey, LISW, Judge John Romero, Gerri Dupree, Patti Vowell
& Traci Neff
20. Engaging Youth in Self-Development and in School
Through Rap and Poetry (cultural) The P.E.A.C.E. for Change Project has been active in South Valley
Schools since 2011. Working with community slam poets and
school staff, the project creates venues in the schools for poetry,
rap, and builds academic and public performance skills. Staff and
students will share successes, current projects and live perfor-
mance.
Carlos M. Flores MSW, LMSW, LADAC Martin Martinez, NM Depart-
ment of Health, Health Promotion Specialist
21. Native Americans and the Right Brain (cultural) We will take a look at Native American culture from the right
brain perspective to see how the brain’s processing of perception
impacts the culture. The presentation will show the right brain at
work in the Native American culture. A comparison of Western
and Indigenous cultures is made to further demonstrate the left
brain dominance in the Western culture and the right brain domi-
nance in the indigenous culture.
Sharon Manuelito, LISW, ACSW
22. Ethics: The NASW Code of Ethics as a Living
Document The NASW Ethics Consultation Committee is presenting a panel
discussion to address the active use of the NASW Code of Ethics.
We will be presenting an overview of how to conceptualize the
Code, discuss a case from multiple perspectives, then take ques-
tions and situations from the audience to respond as consultants.
Cynthia Sontag, MSWAC, LISW, Joyce Wilson, LISW &
Nancy Futran, LISW
23. The Youth Experience of Rape Culture Rape culture socializes teens to believe that they are the only one
that sees violence as a problem and teaches them to accept it.
This presentation will focus on a social norms theory approach to
help teens deconstruct messages, recognize allies and skills build-
ing approaches to stand up against violence.
Amy Whitfield, LMSW & Bianca Villani, BA
24. LISW to Jail Chaplain Dr. Laverriere does Interfaith Chaplaincy at Bernalillo County Jail.
In this session, we will reflect upon the fact that we are the tool
that we utilize in our professional practice, therefore we will take
time to fine tune our spiritual perspective so we can be present to
our clients’ needs.
Dr. Marie A. Laverriere, LISW
25. The Role of Hope, Dignity, and Spirituality in End-
of-Life Care In lecture and discussion, this workshop presents recent research
on the role of hope and spirituality as motivators which enhance
quality of life and dignity in the patient, family, and friends. Atti-
tudes and tools which healthcare providers can use to foster hope
and support spirituality will also be discussed.
Victoria Cain, LMSW, CT
26. Social Work in Case Management in
Traumatic Brain Injury Rehab Brain injury is a life-changing event which impacts not only an indi-
vidual but also their entire family system. The role of the social
worker case manager is important in the journey to recovery in
order to provide education, support, and advocacy for all involved.
Teresa Howard, LBSW, CBIS, CCM & Sheila Howard, LMSW
27. Living in a Bind: Married to a Man, Attracted to a
Woman This workshop will address the complexity of issues that married
women face when they question their sexual orientation. There
are many emotional binds this puts a woman in when she becomes
aware of same sex attractions. We will explore the questions and
decisions women face when confronted with this awareness and it
will include a panel of women who will share their stories.
Elaine Meizlish, MSW, LISW
28. Empowering Young Fathers: Supporting
Parental Engagement in Children’s Lives This presentation is designed to address the challenges young
fathers face in their attempts to be involved and engaged parents
in New Mexico. Use of the New Mexico Putative Fatherhood Reg-
istry, Establishment of Legal Paternity, Navigating the legal process
to gain access to children, Child Support Enforcement and Com-
pliance, and Custody issues are but a few of the many issues that
arise and place huge barriers for young men working to be in-
volved fathers. Participants can expect to gain a stronger under-
standing on how to navigate the legal processes in place to assist
young fathers in becoming engaged parents. Gilbert A. Ramírez, LICSW 29. Mobile APP Therapy: Could This Be the Way of the
Future Intervention? Mental health apps are self-tracking applications designed to in-
crease a client’s understanding of all the things that affect their
mental health which may include depression, substance abuse,
PTSD or stress reduction. This session will cover an overview,
resources and real examples of mental health apps for social
workers use!

Circles: A Proven Community Approach to Address the Challenges of Poverty
1:30 pm—4:30 pm The Circles® Model aims to (1) change the mindset of the community so it wants to and thinks it can end poverty; (2) change the goals (policy, law) of the system to end poverty; and (3) empower people to self-organize. The mission of Cir-cles® is to build relationships across race and socioeconomic class lines in order to realize more positive economic and life outcomes for families living in poverty. It is an approach to work at solutions that address both the societal problems and individual challenges. By establishing a broader base of middle and upper middle class citizens who are close to families living with low incomes, they begin to access broader networks to support their own self-sufficiency, and social and public policy becomes more enlightened. Thus, Circles is a high impact approach whose core strategies are designed to enhance the social capital of low income people while energizing the community into action.
Locked In: Systemic Barriers That Keep People in Poverty
9:00 am —12:00 pm The barriers that people face in trying to get out of poverty are enormous. Being poor in the United States is exhausting since the barriers are systemic and interrelated. Individuals living in poverty are problem solvers who have the capability to exercise choice and power in designing their own "future stories". They can become leaders in their communities who understand how to break through barriers, through lever- aging resources and relationships. Yet, it takes more than individual learning and change to move out of poverty. Our communities must change, our agencies must change and our policies must change. By better understanding the challenges faced by people in poverty, we can be partners in paving the way to economic stability for our entire community.
