ForwardSession 1: Bolstering Resilience in the Aftermath of the COVID 19 Pandemic
The worldwide impact of the Covid 19 pandemic has been tragic in terms of the loss of lives, economic setbacks, disruptive lifestyles, and ongoing uncertainty. Moreover, the war in Ukraine has resulted in further despair and demoralization. These events have contributed to a wide array of emotional and behavioral disorders such a s anxiety, depression with accompanying increases in suicides, a rise in substance abuse disorders and accompanying interpersonal violence. Mental health professionals have been challenged to use telehealth interventions, as well as bolster their own resilience.
While most individuals, families and communities evidence an impact of the various pandemic stressors ,the research indicates that some 75 % will go onto develop resilience and deal with ongoing adversities ,while some 25 % will develop some forms of adjustment challenges and various forms of PTSD and co-occurring disorders.
This workshop highlights what distinguishes these two groups and considers the treatment implications across the entire lifespan, from "high-risk " children and their families to the elderly. TRAUMA IS EVERYWHERE, BUT SO IS RESILIENCE. Specific ways therapists bolster resilience in individuals, couples, families, and communities will be the focus of this workshop. How to use evidenced-based cognitive behavioral and Constructive Narrative strength-based interventions to bolster will be discussed.
A second focus is what is behind the research findings that 25 % of therapists obtain 50 % better treatment outcomes and they have 50 % fewer patient dropouts from treatment, namely, what are the Core tasks of therapy that these "expert" therapists are doing that bolsters their patients' resilience?
