W elcome to the Social Services and Community Safety Division Winter/Spring 2001 calendar.As you read through the calendar, I hope that you will find courses,special events or certificate programs that meet your current needs for skill development or career enhancement. In each calendar we try to provide a balance between courses that are offered on a regular basis and courses and programs that attempt to meet new and emerging issues in the fields of human services and criminal justice. As well, we are continually updating existing courses and certificate programs in response to the input and feedback we receive from our instructors and students. This January we are launching two new certificate programs: the Adventure-Based Learning Certificate Program and the Integrative Healing Certificate Program. The content and instructional approaches to be used in these programs have evolved from the feedback we have received from a series of focus groups combined with the knowledge and expertise of the instructors.We are very excited about both of these new programs,as we believe they reflect some of the very innovative changes that have taken place in the area of service delivery. We are also just completing the redevelopment of the Critical Incident Stress Management Certificate Program.We will host an information session in early February to provide interested individuals with more details about the structure and focus of this program. Our program staff continue to work on a number of provincial government initiatives, including the development of two best-practices documents, one on Prevention of Disordered Eating and the other on Working with Commercially Sexually Exploited Youth. Recently, we also launched our first on-line training program designed for Community Safety and Crime Prevention Practitioners. Check out the Web site at and learn more about what is possible on-line. Finally, those of you who have completed or will be completing one of our many certificate programs should plan to attend our divisional graduation on May 3,2001.You will have an opportunity to enjoy great people, great food and great music. RESPONSIVE We respond quickly and appropriately to the changing learning needs of the people we serve.

Who is eligible to take your courses? We offer a wide range of courses for many different groups of students. The course descriptions in this calendar will clearly indicate whether the course is directed toward a first-line supervisor, a support worker, or an experienced practitioner. 2. What is the difference between a course, a workshop series, and a certificate program? Courses typically run between one and two days and either address a new or emerging issue or focus on a specific skill set. Some courses are offered on a regular basis, whereas other courses are offered on a onetime basis only. Workshop series usually run between six and eight days and address a few key themes. Most workshop series are skillfocused and are directed toward more experienced practitioners. Certificate programs generally run between nine and 20 days and address a body of knowledge and a range of skills. While we offer certificate programs in a number of different formats, all certificate programs require participants to demonstrate their acquired knowledge and skills through classroom participation and homework assignments. A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S 4. How do I register for a certificate program? 8. How long will it take to complete a certificate program? Before you register for a certificate program, you need to find out whether an admissions form is required.There is no admissions form requirement for the Basic Supervisory and Trainer Development certificate programs. For the other certificate programs,you must submit an admissions form detailing your educational background and work experience. Once the designated program coordinator has accepted your application, you must submit your registration form and payment to the Registration Office. Each certificate program varies in length and format. For certificate courses that are modular in nature, we recommend that you take at least one calendar year to complete the program.This will allow time for you to reflect on the course content and integrate the skills you have acquired into your current work. 5. Where can I obtain an admission form? An admission form may be found on Page 55. You can also obtain an admissions form by contacting the appropriate program coordinator. Check the certificate program descriptions in this calendar for further details. 6. Are certificate programs offered only in the Lower Mainland? Many of our certificate programs are offered in a number of locations around the province. Check the calendar listings or contact the appropriate program coordinator. 3. Why should I consider enrolling in one of your certificate programs? 7. What do I need to do in order to receive a certificate? Our certificate programs are designed to enhance and update the knowledge and skills of people currently working in the human services field. Our instructors are experienced practitioners who bring their knowledge, expertise, and instructional skills into the classroom. The certificate programs have helped many graduates find employment or advance in their chosen career area. Each certificate program will have slightly different requirements. Generally, you are expected to attend all of the sessions, participate in the classroom activities, and complete the necessary homework and final assignments. Page 6 w www.jibc.bc.ca 9. Do the course numbers indicate the “level” of the courses, with courses in the 200 series being less advanced than those listed as 300 or 400 series courses? No, the numbers are there only to ensure that each course has a number distinct from all other courses. 10. Are these courses transferable to another educational institution? You must check with the specific educational institution you are transferring to regarding their guidelines for transfer credits. 11. Are there any student loans or grants that I can apply for? Most SSCSD courses do not qualify for student loans as they are not considered “full time.” For more information on financial assistance, please contact either the Registration Services Advisor at (604) 528-5588 or the First Nations Advisor at (604) 528-5621. 5 Registration: Call (604) 528-5590 SPECIAL EVENTS A Holistic Approach to Working With Women Who Experience Violence Topics and Dates The Intersectionality of Oppressions: Racism, Sexism, Classism, Heterosexism,Ableism,Violence and Substance Use January 16 T his series of forums is intended for front-line practitioners working with women in the areas of violence, substance use, mental health, trauma, and corrections. Practitioners who wish to come together to continue the dialogue about the intersectionality of oppressions in women’s lives and to discuss ways of working together in a fragmented system of services will benefit from these forums. Participants will have the opportunity to take what they hear and incorporate it into their own day-to-day practice.

DURING THE FORUMS THE FOLLOWING OVERARCHING THEMES WILL BE ADDRESSED: Women and age ◆ Women and sexuality ◆ Women and oppression ◆ Women and substance use ◆ Harm reduction practice ◆ Challenging our ideas of who women who experience violence/abuse are ◆ Challenging our ideas of what success is when working with women ◆ Finding and sharing solutions Each forum will begin with a brief panel presentation (30 minutes). Key questions for contemplation will be posted throughout the room. Participants will be asked to form small groups (eight to 10 in a group) for discussion. Each group will be facilitated,and notes will be taken and complied into a final report at the end of the series. Copies will be made available for participants.

Panic, topics will include:patterns of psychosocial development,the panic-prone personality,the benevolent purpose of symptoms, brief calming and focusing skills, responding to worries, paradoxical management of physical symptoms, pattern disruption, imagery practice,and interoceptive exposure.Emphasis will be placed on the eight attitude shifts needed for recovery. The initial response of worry must be considered useful, selected for its survival value in evolutionary terms.When the worry process extracts too high an emotional cost,or when the worry subroutine is activated too frequently,it can be considered maladaptive. As such, worry is pervasive throughout all the anxiety disorders; 4060% of clients report excessive worry about minor things. It has been shown to be the most frequent symptom of those who consult their general practitioner with psychological disorders. We will address methods of controlling worry and will apply those paradigms to generalized anxiety disorder. DAY 2: OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER AND THE OCD SPECTRUM DISORDERS Date & Location May 10 - 11, 2001 Justice Institute of British Columbia New Westminster, BC Fees $185 To register: Please complete the registration form on page 58 or contact the Registration Office at (604)528-5590.

Building around a theory of self-help and self-efficacy, participants will learn strategies to break these repetitious,unproductive patterns in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).Along with exposure and response prevention, skills will include postponing, designing daily worry time and audiotape exposures, modifying obsessions and compulsions,and adding consequences.These skills can be applied to the treatment of washers and cleaners, checkers, repeaters, hoarders, orderers, cognitive-ritualizers, and pure obsessionals. Later in the day we will discuss the application of these approaches to children and adolescents. Participants will then learn the distinguishing features of the OCD spectrum disorders: Tourette’s and tic disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, trichotillomania and repetitive self-mutilation.

An admission form is available on Page 55. Case Presentation / Self-Care eam Sexual abuse needs to be understood as a systemic and societal problem, and as exploitation of a child’s vulnerability and powerlessness. Clinicians need to understand the individual victim in a broad context that includes historical, social, cultural, political, and legal responses to sexual abuse both in Canada and in other countries. Victims, family members, and clinicians struggle together to make sense of the wounding that comes from sexual abuse. Typical family dynamics need to be understood and skills for assessing individual families are essential. Clinicians are helped by having a clear map and guidelines that help them contain and manage the confused and complicated feelings and thoughts that family members have towards each other. Date(s): January 22 Instructor(s): Whiteford Date(s): January 24 Instructor(s): Whiteford, Ziegler Day 2: Developmental Issues Day 4: Assessment and Treatment: An Overview Day 1: Overview Sexual abuse assaults and deforms the developmental growth of children and adolescents. Grounding in developmental process is central to understanding and treating the impact of abuse. Clinicians need to understand how sexual abuse impedes successful resolution of developmental stages and the implications of this for assessment, intervention, and treatment for survivors at all stages of the life cycle. Date(s): January 23 Instructor(s): Whiteford Effective intervention requires an ability to assess and conceptualize treatment, and to bring a structured approach to treatment. Clinicians treating sexual abuse need a theoretical model that can guide their interventions and bring predictability to the often chaotic world of the survivor. Clinicians need to integrate specific models developed to treat trauma and child abuse into their existing approaches to psychotherapy. Date(s): January 25 Instructor(s): Shatzky, Ziegler Page 14 w www.jibc.bc.ca 5 Program Assistant (604) 528-5620 Day 5: The Therapeutic Relationship Day 9: Legal Issues Part of the treatment model conceptualizes sexual abuse as a relational injury. Clinicians need to understand how that injury impacts the therapeutic relationship. Successful treatment outcomes depend in large part on careful negotiation of the therapeutic relationship and the clinicians’ understanding of the complex feelings, thoughts, and defences victims bring to the therapy setting. This topic explores both family and criminal court procedures related to child sexual abuse and defines the clinician’s role when a child or adolescent they are working with is involved in court proceedings.It considers the clinician’s role in providing “noncontaminating” support to the child or adolescent through the court process. Date(s): March 8 Instructor(s): Harvey Date(s): January 26 Instructor(s): Ziegler Day 6: Dissociation and Memory Dissociation is a key defence of the sexually abused child and is mediated by the child’s age and development. Clinicians need both a theoretical understanding of dissociation, memory, and development and practical skills for recognizing and treating dissociation in children and youth. Date(s): March 5 Instructor(s): Mills Days 7 and 8: Treatment Approaches The treatment of sexually abused children and youth is complex due to the child’s often complicated relationships with family members and non-familial caregivers. Early decisions about treatment are critical for successful outcomes. Clinicians need a working knowledge of the beginning, middle, and end stages of treatment, and practical skills to support each stage. These two days deepen participants’clinical understanding of treatment approaches with adult survivors and skills in treatment planning. A clinician also needs a range of clinical tools for successful intervention into the specific problems facing adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Date(s): March 6 & 7 Instructor(s): McEvoy Day 9: Legal Issues Day 10: Case Presentations/Self-Care Child and Youth Stream (#CSA105A) Days 7 and 8: Treatment Approaches Opportunity is provided for integration of course material through participants’ case presentations.The final hour and a half will bring together the child and youth and adult programs for completion of the core modules. Date(s): March 9 Instructor(s): Shatzky Adult Survivor Stream (#CSA105B) Day 6: Dissociation and Memory Dissociation is a key defence of the adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse and needs to be understood neurologically, emotionally,and behaviourally.The complex relationship of dissociation to memory and development is also significant. Clinicians require a basic knowledge of how dissociation functions for adult survivors, and basic assessment skills. The interface of adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse with the legal system can be confusing, controversial, and intimidating for both survivors and clinicians. This course will help clinicians understand the legal system, legal precedents, and consequential implications for clinical intervention and case management. Date(s): March 8 Instructor(s): McEvoy Day 10: Case Presentations/Self-Care Opportunity is provided for integration of course material through participants’ case presentations.

Over the two days, participants will learn more about presenting material creatively that might otherwise elicit defensiveness from the parent or from the group. Emphasis will be given to helping parents separate out two key areas: partner issues from parenting problems, and confusing their own childhood (past) with their children’s childhood (present). A wide range of useful techniques will be developed to help facilitators keep parents focused on their choices,not their children’s behaviour; clarify parental roles, styles, and approaches; and use the developmental stages of children as a dynamic tool. Participants will develop their creativity and confidence in using spontaneity and identifying the “teachable moment.” Finally, participants will learn how to ensure that they are using up-to-date materials by accessing print media, TV/VCRs, and Internet sites. Counsellors and others in the helping role often ask themselves how they can use their limited time more wisely. Skillfully asking questions is not only an art but also an important aspect of your role. In this workshop participants will explore the six essentials of asking good questions: how to ask well-timed questions; themes related to asking questions; discovering what your questioning style is and how to broaden it; making better use of time spent in the role of counsellor/helper, and why having good listening skills is not enough. Date(s): May 7-8 Fee: $185 Instructor(s): Stoll Identifying and Overcoming Racism in the Counselling Relationship (#EP321) Aboriginal people and people of colour experience racism in the mental health delivery system. Unfortunately, such racism is not new, nor has it been adequately dealt with. Many counsellors are well-intentioned professionals who have strong theoretical foundations, clear ethical standards, and humanistic or feminist values. They are motivated to help people who are hurting and they get personal fulfillment out of their work. Even with these high human ideals, however, racism still manifests itself in the counselling relationship. This workshop is for social workers, mental health practitioners, therapists, and anyone providing counselling or advocacy in their work with Aboriginal people or people of colour. Date(s): May 28-29 Fee: $185 Instructor(s): Stoll Advanced Motivational Interviewing (#AD204) This course is for service providers who wish to develop more in-depth knowledge and skills related to motivational interviewing.

The course material will focus on application towards working with substance misuse issues through use of Decisional Balance Grids,and will address issues around working with resistance and ambivalence. Note: Participants will benefit from having previous exposure to an introductory level of Motivational Interviewing, such as that offered in the Assessment of Addictive Behaviours course (#AD112). Safe Teen, Powerful Alternatives: Skills to Stand Strong Without Violence (#EP562) This two-day introductory workshop will present Safe Teen, a skill-based violence prevention program that has been integrated into the curriculum in many school districts throughout B.C.
