Rogers Behavioral Health Address - Building a More Resilient Mental Health Workforce
Burnout and dissatisfaction in the medical workforce lead to poorer patient care and increased staff turnover. This brief presentation will uncover the problem of burnout in the mental health workforce and describe the steps a large national behavioral health system is undertaking to build resilience in their employees with a goal of decreasing burnout and staff turnover.

6th Annual Clinical Practice Symposium - The Nuts and Bolts of Working with PTSD, Depression, and Micro-Aggressions with Minority Clients Through the Lenses of CBT, ACT & FAP
Friday, March 20th, 12:30 - 2:30 pm
Description:
This year the 6th annual clinical symposium features a panel of expert clinicians demonstrating key assessments and interventions with an adult LGBTQ client struggling with complex trauma, depression and history of micro-aggressions.
Our panel of experts will demonstrate “hands on” interventions to assess and deliver interventions based on different theoretical models: Functional Analytical Psychotherapy (FAP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) in a culturally sensitive manner.
Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrate culturally sensitive assessment and interventions when working with LGBTQ clients affected by trauma, depression, and micro-aggressions.
- Apply different treatment interventions for an adult client struggling with complex trauma, depression and history of micro-aggressions.
- Distinguish the similarities and differences between Functional Analytical Psychotherapy (FAP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) when working with trauma.

Jerilyn Ross Lecture
The State of the Art of Toxic Stress and Resilience Research: Implications for Best Practices with Vulnerable Populations
Friday, March 20th. 3:15pm - 4:45pm
In this lecture, the broad range of negative sequelae associated with adverse childhood experiences will be reviewed, and emerging data on the mechanisms by which adverse childhood experiences ‘get under the skin’ to confer risk for deleterious mental and physical health outcomes discussed. Key factors for promoting resilience and recovery will then be delineated.

Cannabis, Anxiety, and Depression: Cause for Pause or Peace of Mind?
presented by: Staci Gruber, PhD
During this presentation, Dr. Gruber will summarize the complex the relationship between cannabis use and anxiety and depression, and will discuss how important differences between recreational users and medical cannabis (MC) patients may impact this relationship. She will present recent findings from the cannabis Investigations for Neuroscientific Discovery (MIND) program, including data from the first longitudinal study of MC patients, which reflect changes on measures of cognitive function, clinical state, quality of life, conventional medication use, and neuroimaging variables after initiation of MC treatment. She will also highlight preliminary data from the first clinical trial of a plant-derived, full-spectrum, high-cannabidiol (CBD) product for the treatment of anxiety. Finally, she will explain potential reasons for the changes observed in these studies and highlight areas in need of future research.
Medical Marijuana: The Evidence and Promises of CBD
presented by Diana Martinez, MD
Dr. Martinez will summarize the literature on cannabis for medical disorders, with a focus on placebo controlled, prospective studies. This will include research on cannabis plant extract, delta (9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (and congeners), and cannabidiol. She will also review the observational studies showing the risks of recreational cannabis use in medically ill patients. A brief discussion on the use of cannabis plant extract in neuropathy and pain will also be included.
