Handout(s):

This workshop starts with a fundamental belief that people living with behvioral health conditions can and do recover, and deserve opportunities to build lives not defined by those conditions

Additionally, Recovery is defined as a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.

This workshop explores the process in which an individual engages in their recovery journey, using the four stages of recovery of hope, empowerment, self-responsibility, and meaningful roles as guides.

Participants will:

Learn the four stages of recovery and how to apply them in their understanding of a person's recovery process:

-Hope, a belief that people can grow and learn

-Empowerment, having a sense of one's own capabilities and power

-Self Responsibility, setting one's path, taking charge of one's life, and learning one's own lessons

-Meaningful Roles, having meaning, purpose and a life beyond ones' condition

Title Speaker Description Goals CEU

Language - What We Say Matters!
(09:00 AM - 12:00 PM)
Pacific Time (GMT-8)

John Travers

Handout(s):

Language shapes how we see the world-and ourselves. We have a choice in the words we use to describe ourselves, others, and the world around us. The words we choose and the meanings we attach to them influence our decisions, beliefs, and well-being. The workshop examines the use of person-first language in the behavioral health field to build respectful, person centered relationships.

Participants will:
Increase their understanding of terminology and language that distances us from forming relationships with the individuals we support.

Increase their ability to intentionally use language that provides an alternative interpretation to the “medicalization” of a person’s story not based in psychiatric models or diagnoses.

Increase their ability to reframe behavior described as “Manipulative”, “attention-seeking”, “entitled”, “acting-out” that support working with individuals they support develop more effective ways to get their needs met.
